What Your Favorite Color Says About You

People And Color

Since long ago, psychologists discovered that color brings emotions into our lives. It is also believed that a person's favorite color says a lot about them and who they really are. For most of us, there is one color in particular that really speaks to us. Not to say that you can't love and have strong emotions for multiple colors. Though, there's always that one color that really sticks with you. Maybe you like to wear the color, or paint your walls with it. That specific color says a lot about you.

Red

Red is the color of passion. If your a Red person, chances are you love attention. If your the life of the party, and love to make head turns, you could very well be a Red person. Folks that love Red tend to want to experience life to the fullest. Lovers of this color may be romantic, brave, and athletic.

Yellow

Yellow is the color of creativity and learning. Yellow folks tend to love new opportunities and thrive from learning and new experiences. Chances are your a charming person with confidence. People who favor yellow over other colors are typically happy go lucky, imaginative people.

Green

Green is the color of life and nature. People who love green tend to search for peace. Green folks often are great listeners, and productive people. If you favor green, you probably appreciate the little things in life, and love beautiful surroundings.

Purple

Purple is the color of luxury and spirituality. Purple folks tend to love material things, and are sensual. It has also been found, that purple lovers tend to be wise, or respect wisdom. If you favor purple over the other colors, you could very possibly be: creative, sensitive and unique.

Blue

 Blue is the color of calm and tranquility. People who love blue tend to feel a need for harmony in their lives. Lovers of blue are typically trustworthy, and have a desire to find inspiration from different things. Blue lovers are often great friends and can be sensitive.

 Pink is the color of beauty, hope and love. People who love pink tend to be compassionate, especially about things that are important to them. If you favor pink over the other colors, chances are you are probably a giving, charming person. You may also love to be playful, and have fun.

White

White is the blending of all the colors. It represents strength and purity. Folks who love white, are typically people who value tradition. Lovers of white also tend to need strong stability in their lives. If your a lover of white, you probably are neat, organized, and possibly shy in some way.

Brown

Brown is the color of nature and wholesomeness. Lovers of brown are typically pleasant people to be around. These people can be great trusting friends. If you favor Brown over the other colors, chances are you are dependable, and friendly.

Black

 Black is the absence of light. Lovers of black tend to have a little bit of mystery about them in some way. Lovers of black often are excited by possibilities.

Mary, this was a fun hub to read. It caused me to start thinking. I don't know if I have a favorite color. What would you get if you mixed all of them together?

Probably a mess and a lot of confusion. Good job on this one.

Those rainbow roses are so stunning, aren't they? They are created using dyes sucked up the stem. How did you get the shadow to go behind your photo? Edited before putting in HP?

My fav is green, followed very closely by blue. This makes me sound like such a calm, and wonderful person. I think I'll take that with me for today. (Tomorrow will be a different story).

Good hub. Congratulations.

I remember being asked what my favorite color was in a group job interview - talk about unexpected! It's interesting though because the ones of us that made it through to the next round had all picked blue, must've known it meant we were trustworthy :D

Blue, pink and red for clothing and shades of green in our house. Just can't be pinned down to one color. Ha! Interesting hub...especially the last comment about choosing a color for a job interview. Worth remembering!

This is an interesting hub, I definitely believe that the colours we like can tell us something about our personalities. And I also believe that by surrounding ourselves with certain colours, we can change the way we feel - especially when decorating a home, for instance, some colours are best suited to certain rooms.

I thought of my son when I read this - he likes red a lot, and he is a very on-the-go sort of person, simmering over with lots of mental energy. He likes to be surrounded by friends all the time as well. I took him out to buy some converse shoes a few weeks back, and he wanted red ones!

MaryRenee profile image

MaryRenee Hub Author 22 months ago

Polly: Great to see you! I agree completely. Color does have such an effect on our lives. Your son's a red person? Lol, he wanted the red shoes, he like a tiotally red person! :)

I found this hub really interesting.I wonder if you like pastel colors over regular colors what that could mean.It is really fun to see how many different people love their favorite colors.

Dave Harris profile image

Dave Harris Level 1 Commenter 18 months ago

Intersting stuff MaryRenee, I went for red, as it is the colour of my star sign (Aries) and synonymous with fire. Also the colour of my favourite football team (Liverpool FC) I am into many sports, passionate and a creative artist, so guess you're right, occasionally the colour of my eyes after a late night too! :)
