Color and Character, Are They Related?

Psychologists believe that colors people tend to choose for things they need depend on a few factors: fashion trends, one's mood and state of mind, and even their character traits may also play a role. The first two factors are changeable while one's character traits are relatively more stable. As a result, the color people like or dislike most might, to some extent, reveal several clues about their inner characters. Some people even hold that the color you choose can reflect the way you operate in the world, your strengths and weakness, your vulnerabilities, your deepest needs and the challenges you face at that time in your life.

Experts on color and character analyzing concluded the connections between your favorite color and your character as the following:

If your favorite color is blue, you have a deep need for peace and harmony in your everyday life – you don't like having your feathers ruffled. You would benefit from daily meditation and quiet time for reflection, introspection and self-discovery. You are not impulsive and spontaneous – you always think before you speak and act. You appear to be confident and self-control but may be hiding your vulnerabilities inside. You are genuine and sincere, and you take your responsibilities seriously.

If red is your favorite color, you are action-oriented and like to be the center of attention. You are extroverted, optimistic, courageous and confident. Having a personality color red, you are stimulating to be with and you radiate a great deal of energy. However, you are impulsive – you should count to 10 before reacting to situations when you are angry.

Choosing yellow as your favorite color, you have a happy disposition. You are cheerful and happy to be with. You are creative and often being the one who comes up with new ideas. But you may also find yourself exhibit some negative traits, particularly when you are stressed. You tend to be impulsive and make quick decisions.

For those who choose black as their favorite color, prestige and power are important. You are strong-willed, independent, and determined. You tend to keep people at a distance, guarding your emotions and creating an impenetrable barrier between yourself and others. You hold things inside and are not good at sharing yourself with others, possibly out of fear. Maybe you need to add some color into your life to lighten you up – life should be fun.

One's personality color does not have to be the color he wears all the time. It usually refers to the color that can excite him the most and make him feel alive. People are often drawn to their personality color for clothing, home and office decorating.
