Whether we’re a vibrant Orange,
or a peaceful Blue, our color preferences are a key to understanding our
personalities.
White: Symbolic of purity, innocence and naivete, white has strong connotations
of youth and purity. If you are an older person, your preference for white could
indicate a desire for perfection and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to
recapture lost youth and freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for
simplicity or the simple life.
RED:Red people are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather
restless and not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their own
shortcomings. They find it hard to be objective and may blame others for any
mishaps. Quiet people with a preference for red may feel the need for the
warmth, strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their
true feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by people with open
and uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.
Pink: This color embodies the gentler qualities of Red, symbolizing love and
affection without passion. Women who prefer Pink tend to be maternal. Pink
desires protection, special treatment and a sheltered life. Pink people require
affection and like to feel loved and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate
and fragile. Pink people tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.
Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and
fun-loving person who likes a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined
to dramatize a bit, and people notice them, but they are generally good-natured
and popular. They can be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they
try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness,
curiosity and restlessness.
Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom and imagination, Yellow is chosen by the
mentally adventurous, searching for novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually
goes with a sunny and shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong
sense of humor. It is the color of intellectuality and all things to do with the
mind. Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers who have a good
opinion of their own mental capacities and who have lofty ideals. They may at
times tend to shun responsibility, preferring freedom of thought and action.
Green: The color of harmony and balance, Green symbolizes hope, renewal and
peace, and is usually liked by the gentle and sincere. Greens are generally
frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any
price. Green people can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may
get exploited by others. They are usually refined, civilized and reputable.
Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, Blue is the color of
deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty. Patient, persevering,
conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues like to be admired for their
steady character and wisdom. They are faithful, but are often worriers with
somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too cautious, and suspicious of
flamboyant behavior.
Turquoise: Complex, imaginative and original, Turquoise people drive themselves
hard and may be in a state of turmoil under their outwardly cool exterior.
Lavender:A Lavender person is usually creative, charming, witty and civilized.
Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious, witty and sensitive, with a
strong desire to be unique and different. Temperamental, expansive and artistic,
a Purple person may become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose
Purple, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant and dignified.
Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and
substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative.
Gray: The color of caution and compromise, diligent Grays search for composure
and peace and often work hard without reward.
Black: Dignified and impressive without being showy, Black people want to give
the appearance of mystery, but their preference may also indicate a suppression
of desires and worldly aims, suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.
