Almost everyone has a favorite color. Even if you don’t think you have one,
you’re probably still more naturally drawn to some colors more than others.
We all have our preferences, and these preferences could say something
about your personality.
IF YOU LIKE COLOR BLUE...
Blue, the color of the ocean, is often associated with feelings of serenity, so those who love it are often able
to find peace and tranquility in places where others do not. People who love to wear blue are said to be easy
to get along with, reliable, and lovable.
Red is the color of love and danger. Wearing red draws attention because of
the bold energy that it gives and this color could be your color if you want to
make a lasting impression. People whose favorite color is red are usually
aware of the effect it has, and are confident enough to take advantage of it.
Orange is the color of social communication and optimism. Those who adore orange
want to be the center of attention, tend to be flamboyant in nature, and are not likely
to have too many serious thoughts. They're friendly, and people like that until the
overdose of flamboyancy kicks in, that's when friends tend to run.
Somewhere between black and white, grey is the color that just can't commit,
and the same goes for those who love it. From the perspective of color
psychology, grey is emotionless, boring, detached, and indecisive. Those who
say their favorite color is grey don't tend to have any major likes or dislikes.
They can take or leave most things and they lack passion.
Pink is associated with being immature, silly, and girlish. Those who favor pink
see this color as an escape from the reality of impending adulthood. They're
childlike in the way they interact with others and hope to be able to pull off red.
IF YOU LIKE COLOR BLACK...
Those who call black their favorite color tends to be complicated realists
with a need for control. Their realistic view of the world keeps their
pessimism and moodiness in check, while their simple approach to always
keeping things dark and dreary makes them appear far more sophisticated
than they might actually be.
White is associated with innocence and virginity. Those who favor white want to
convince others (and themselves) of a purity they likely just don't have. They're
also really meticulous in their appearance, unlike the rest of us who would never
be able to keep our whites white.
It takes a certain type of personality to prefer yellow to all the other colors.
Color Yellow is the color of the mind and the intellect. It involves a level
of optimism that most people over the age of 10 just don't have. Because
of this optimism, and the idealism that comes along with it, people who
love yellow sometimes come off as whacky or aloof, but that's just because
the moody folks are straight-up jealous.
