Psychology of color or what does your favorite color tell you?

Of course, you, like me, noticed that you give preference to one color. Or maybe you even noticed that the choice of color is influenced by our mood. Psychologists say that by what color you like you can easily judge a person’s character. They are also sure that a person can have a maximum of three favorite colors, and the choice of color depends on the internal state. I wondered what my favorite color would say about me. I was surprised, but the description, although brief, was very accurate. I hope that your color description will not disappoint you.

Character by color preference in clothing

These characteristics are based on many years of research by the Swiss psychologist Lüscher:

• Red color . If you love the color red and prefer it in clothes, then this indicates that you are a purposeful, passionate (sometimes aggressive), strong-willed and quick-tempered person. You are not used to giving up and are ready to go towards your goal, as they say, head on. When you achieve your goals more often, it is very difficult for you to resist. Love to experiment and not only in clothes.
• Blue color . It is quite difficult to become one of your friends; you are very untrusting. To become a person close to you, you need to go through a probationary period, and most likely it will last more than one month, and maybe more than one year. But on the other hand, you are calm, balanced, honest, in harmony with your inner world, others trust you.

• White – this is freedom from obstacles, the beginning for any possibilities, something pure and bright. It is for this reason that the bride's dress is white. White is a sign of truce. It cannot cause a negative reaction because it does not carry any information and does not awaken any emotions. This color can be chosen by any person, with any character.
• Purple is a mixture of two colors: blue and red. That is, you are a non-standard nature, at the same time passionate, and calm, and emotional, and peaceful. This color symbolizes everything unusual, contrary to generally accepted norms. If this is your favorite color, then you love magic and everything connected with it. Do you want to have magical powers or want to be bewitched?

By the way, it has been experimentally proven that about 75% of children choose the color purple before puberty. And this is explained precisely by this magic of mixing red and blue - as the feminine and masculine principles.

• Pink color . The color of tenderness, sentimentality, kindness and dreams. Here, too, there is the magic of two colors: red and white. What does it mean: passion pacified by freedom. If you prefer this color, it means you are a soft, impressionable person who does not tolerate violence and cruelty in any form. You live in your imaginary world, so easy and comfortable, but at the same time you need the constant presence of a person nearby who would have a calming effect on you and with whom you would not be afraid.
• Orange color chosen by life-loving optimists and dreamers. This color symbolizes joy and pleasure. According to psychologists, a person who prefers this color in clothes is clearly not satisfied either physically or mentally.
• Green color . If your color is green, you are a charming person of mystery. Those around you, no matter how hard they want, cannot understand what is really going on in your soul and thoughts. This is your mystery - your main highlight, which you should try to preserve for the rest of your life. In addition, you feel your power and superiority over others and not without reason, I must admit. You love and know how to please, need recognition, but you are afraid and in every possible way avoid the influence of others.
• Light green color are chosen by people who do not like (and cannot) act independently, but want to get everything at the expense of others. Incapable of weighing and making decisions.
• Turquoise - this is the unity of water, earth and sky. This is the color of those who want healing itself, strive for it and learn to love themselves.
• Yellow . You are a cheerful and friendly person, with a good sense of humor. This is the color of discharge. A person who chooses yellow is looking for liberation that will bring him happiness, since at the moment it is not there. Or he strives for some changes in life that will help him open up, achieve what he wants and get relief.
• Blue – the color of fun, carelessness and carelessness. A person who prefers the color blue does not irritate others, is easy to communicate and almost always belongs in any company.
• Brown . Then you probably do everything measuredly and correctly, without rushing anywhere. A very rare quality, I must admit, in our difficult times. You want peace and physical rest, you are a little tired. In addition, family and your own health are important to you; you respect and honor traditions. You don’t like surprises and sudden changes in anything; stability and constancy are your everything.

• Grey They are chosen by people who want to be inconspicuous, do not like to stand out, and are afraid of attracting attention to themselves. Gray is a neutral color, it's not even a color, per se. This is rather an ideal background for another color, for any manipulation (remember about the “gray eminence”). There is an opinion that potential criminals prefer gray in clothing.
• Black color – the color of elegance and luxury. You will always look gorgeous in clothes of this color. At the same time, this suggests that you have many secrets that you do not want to share with anyone. The Man in Black is a rebel by nature, who seems to challenge his fate and those around him.

Character by color in the interior

In addition to the color of your clothes, the color scheme of your home will tell about your character. Sometimes it happens that a person has made a renovation and is happy with everything, but six months or a year passes and he begins to be annoyed by the wallpaper in the room or the tiles in the bathroom. And all because at the time of the repair he was in one mood, but now the situation has changed: either everything has worked out, or, on the contrary, it was good then, but now there is stress or trouble.

That is why psychologists recommend choosing pastel, calm and light colors when decorating an apartment. And you can always add color to the interior with the help of curtains, carpets, pillows and other accessories, which can easily be replaced with others, without repairs or special material costs.

• Red

Is there a lot of red in your apartment? This speaks of your temperament and excessive emotionality. You can hardly be called a reserved person. You are not used to hiding your emotions, both positive and negative. Your advantages include bright charisma and very strong sexuality.

What to do? Loving the color red is not bad, but being in a room where there is too much of it can significantly deplete your nervous system. Because red itself provokes vivid emotions. In addition, you risk becoming an aggressive person. Dilute the red tones with calmer, neutral ones: beige, light green or gray.

• Orange

Orange color will prevail in the home of a creative person, cheerful and optimistic. You do not like restrictions, monotony, and have difficulty withstanding the presence of strangers in the same territory as you. And you clearly value stability.

What to do? A girl who dreams of getting married is better off abandoning this color in the interior and furniture altogether. The color orange has an extremely negative effect on many men. If you dream of losing weight, and your kitchen is in orange tones, your idea is unlikely to succeed. Orange promotes good appetite and may well lead you to the opposite result.

• Brown

Brown color in the interior is preferred by conservative individuals who do not tolerate any changes, even for the better. But almost certainly a woman who prefers brown is a hospitable and cordial hostess who will not let you go without a tasty and satisfying lunch.

What to do? Add some color to your space: yellow, green, maybe even red. Otherwise, you risk remaining at the same level all your life, without achieving any success in life.

• Blue

Blue is the color of poets, philosophers and other thinking individuals who constantly delve into themselves and their experiences.

What to do? Weighing and evaluating the events happening in your life is necessary and important, but it’s worth communicating with other people at least sometimes. Try to get creative. And dilute the blue with beige, white or green.

• Pink

Pink - you are a dreamer, living in a fantasy world and seriously confusing reality with your own fantasies. You, of course, are a refined nature and maybe even refined, but irresponsible, loving to shift everything to others: parents, husband, work colleagues.

What to do? To be honest, in order to become an adult and independent person, you should change the color pink to a more “serious” one. You can put pink furniture in the nursery, and choose a different color scheme for your interior.

• Green

Green is the color of highly organized people who know exactly what they want from life. But the most important thing is that they not only want, but also know how to achieve their goals. In addition, it is pleasant to have a discussion with lovers of the color green: they are excellent conversationalists, distinguished by realistic views on the world and precision of formulation.
