What Your Favorite Color Says About You!

Hiya LCB’ers,

Psychologists have long declared that color adds excitement and emotion to our lives. From royal purples to natural greens to aggressive reds, the colors we choose have always been intimately tied to how we're feeling. We feel blue, turn green with envy, and get red hot with anger. Colors can cheer us up and relieve anxiety. Or, if not used properly, they can be intrusive and cause people to pay more attention to what we're wearing than what we're saying.

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: The color of strength, health, and vitality, Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous and impulsive—or someone who would like to be! It goes with an ambitious nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. 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.

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, likely to achieve positions of authority.

Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be inarticulate and tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable and kindly. If you chose Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate and inflexible.

Gray: The color of caution and compromise, diligent Grays search for composure and peace and often work hard without reward. Older Grays like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs. Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their personalities. Grays often have good business ability and tend to work too much.

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.

Lips,
I'm having a hard time with this, to choose one favorite color is so difficult for me, i love yellow in the summertime, and black or red in the winter.
As far as wearing the colors orange or white looks best on me, but i really don't like those colors.. i like purple but eesh, when i wear it..
Gosh i wish there was some kind of psychological reading for those that are in love with the rainbow, though here repping the rainbow shows everyone you are gay/lesbian, though i'm not that.. at least i don't think i am..  :-\

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, likely to achieve positions of authority.

Tis has been my fav color for years. Funny that the last part in not for me, but yes, have been misunderstood and so I withdraw. But mainly that's pretty close.

My favorite overall color is black. I do tend to agree with what your saying imagin...depends on the season.

But all in all i love black....winter spring summer and fall. Not only on me, but i love that color on man as well.

I think the description of black nailed me in alot of respects.

Gene, one point that is left out of the color purple that i have read often is that the color indicates spiritually enlightened and intuitive.

WOOO HOOO!!!!  Gene I knew I liked ya for some reason!!!   I use to love pink, but as I get older PURPLE is by far my favorite! hehe

I am not sure how "tolerant" I am though!!

GREAT POST LIPS!

I'm a big fan of black as well. ...Actually, black & silver together are my favs!
And the description of black pretty much is accurate as well.

My favorite color is burgandy which is a cross between a red and a purple, Hmmmm

Why can't my favorite just be simple ??

Maroon: Harsh experience has probably matured the Maroon person into someone likeable and generous. It is often a favorite color of someone who has been battered by life but has come through. It indicates a well-disciplined Red personality—one who has had difficult experiences and has not come through unmarked but who has grown and matured in the process.

Oh My goodness.....That is a perfect definition of me.....Thanks Lips.....

I thought so too hun when i read it!

Not sure if this is me but I love yellow!!!

Purple has  been my favorite color for as long as I remember, but I also favor other colors for different things. I like black clothing, pale yellow for inside paint because it's a happy, sunny color and seems to give a serene, peaceful feel to a room.

I have always heard never to paint a room red or have red decor....it i suppose to bring the angry out in us.

I have two rooms in red.....my living room furniture....where my puppy is sitting ont he couch here...........and my kitchen.

So far i have not needed anger management!!
