{Written over hot tea and toast because #sick #again} I am in that end-of-the-year, reflect-on-it-all state of mind. I went to a surprise luncheon for my uncle this week and the guests were all asked to wear red. And do you know that the only article of clothing I had in my wardrobe that was red was my Christmas card/ holiday photo shoot dress? It made me wonder...why do we choose certain colors over others? Is there anything more to it than just a preference? I always say I love to wear black because of the contrast between my light hair/pale as ever skin but could there be something more? With the caveat that the answer is probably a resounding (and sane) no, read on and see what your favorite color says about you! (My favorite colors are pink and gold and the descriptions sorta fit!)
If your favorite color is BLUE, you are: Calm, cool, and able to keep things more even keel than most. If blue is your favorite color you love harmony, are reliable, sensitive and always make an effort to think of others. You like to keep things clean and tidy and feel that stability is the most important aspect in life. Blue is the color of “trust and responsibility,” according to the site “Empower Yourself with Color Psychology,” and people who love blue tend to seek stability above all else. You may also be a nostalgic person who dislikes change in your routine. You value trusting, stable relationships, and are known as a reliable, giving friend. You are genuine and sincere, and it may take a while for others to earn your trust, but once they do, they have it for life.
If your favorite color is RED, you are bold, sexually charged, and want to make a lasting impression. Those who love red live life to the fullest and are tenacious and determined in their endeavors. According to Empower Yourself, red typically means you’re, “extroverted and optimistic, courageous and confident.” You crave attention and win friends easily, and you may tend to be impulsive in your decision-making. Sex is super important to those who love red, and you may have a temper; however, you’re completely a “doer,” and you never put off to tomorrow what you can do today.
If your favorite color is GREEN you are prone to putting lots of importance on money and security. Those who love the color green are often affectionate, loyal and frank. Green lovers are also aware of what others think of them and consider their reputation very important. Of all the colors, green indicates the greatest balance between the head and the heart, and is often associated with equilibrium. However, because you often seek balance in life, you can become anxious when you do not feel you have it. Lovers of green are often practical, have high moral standards, and enjoy being part of a group and community. While a loyal friend and partner, you’re typically gentle, not passionate.
If your favorite color is ORANGE, you are friendly, easy going, and probably a theater major. Orange is associated with the boldness of red and the cheerfulness of yellow. You tend to be high-energy, optimistic, and good-natured. You’re also assertive without being aggressive — a rare and useful skill. You’re great at socializing and at bringing people together, often making yourself the self-appointed “bridge” between different groups at social gatherings. You love planning parties and festive events and are especially good at it, though you can become overly concerned with how you are perceived by others.
If your favorite color is PINK, you are a little naive, sheltered, and have delicate sensibilities. Pinks are the nurturers of the world, but they also love to be nurtured in return. You’re generally optimistic and can easily see the good in others, and you’re very in touch with your feminine side. You often come off as sweet and reserved, and one of your biggest challenges is trusting in yourself and your own self-reliance.
If your favorite color is BLACK, you are part moody, part sophisticated. People who choose black as their favorite color are often artistic and sensitive. While these people aren't introverts, they are careful with the details of their lives and do not share easily with others. Those who love black are all about prestige and power, and sometimes may take themselves a little too seriously for their own good. You may also keep people at arm’s length and maintain a cold exterior — but only because you’re secretly trying to protect yourself from hurt or harm. In many ways black is the color of protection, as it allows you to retreat from others while dealing with your own inner world and emotions.
If your favorite color is Yellow you are are fun, cheerful, and known for your sunny dispositions. You likely are full of creative ideas, but generally need help making those ideas a reality. You prefer to befriend a small number of like-minded people as opposed to being part of larger, less-intimate social groups, and you’re one of the more independent personality types. You’re at your best in pursuits of the mind, like chess and crossword puzzles, but can sometimes give advice or information on topics you don’t know much about. You also can be quick-thinking and fast on your feet, and you may tend to keep your real feelings to yourself, preferring to maintain a cheerful exterior.
If your favorite color is Gold, you are unique and charismatic, and are great at putting others at ease. You tend to attract many friends because you make the people around you feel good about themselves. You also appreciate the finer things in life. You may tend to attract “false” friends, or people who are mostly interested in your wealth or what you can do for them; however, you’re careful about choosing romantic partners, so this doesn’t tend to affect your love life.
What do you think? Anything to this color stuff? Maybe, right?! Thank you so much for stopping by- -Sweetly, Michelle
