What’s Your Personality Color?

What’s your personality color?

Here is a simple test for you: If you had to pick one favorite color, what would it be? We are not talking about your clothes or the paint in your living room. The question is: What color appeals to you the most?

Don’t overthink this; answer this question spontaneously. It’s okay to have two or three favorite colors. Write that down: this is the key to your personality color.

While most people think that colors don’t have any impact on our choices, feelings, and behaviors, a closer look at this matter suggests the opposite. Would you paint your bedroom yellow? Would you wear a bright green outfit to work? Most people will say no, but if the above statement were true, then why not?

The issue is that we all perceive colors quite differently, so trying to figure out general rules is very hard. There are warm and cold shades of each color, and you may feel differently about each version. Besides, we see some colors as inappropriate for specific purposes, even though we may love them.

For example, while you may absolutely love the color red, it doesn’t mean you want to have red shoes and a red handbag. You may dislike the color brown, but when it comes to shoes and handbags, brown could be your color of choice.

As we said earlier, the same color can be perceived very differently by different people. Let’s take the color black, for example. A lot of people love black. They find it classy and fashionable. It can also make you look slimmer.

On the other hand, some may have a bias against this color: they associate it with mourning and sadness. What you think is cool and fashionable may be perceived as depressing by these people.

Given the impact of colors on our choices, one would expect color psychology to be a well-studied subject, but it isn’t. Very little research has been done, and most information you find on this subject has only anecdotal evidence, if any.

And don’t let Hartman’s Color Code Personality Profile mislead you. While Hartman’s personality types are called “red,” “yellow,” “blue,” and “white,” this has nothing to do with colors.

He could just as well call his personality types something like “lion,” “pigeon,” “dolphin,” and “monkey.” It’s just how Hartman chose to name his personality types, but it isn’t really about colors.

We will look into Hartman’s color codes in the future, but for now, you must understand that his color codes have nothing to do with color psychology.

After this important disclaimer, let’s look at what self-proclaimed color psychologists are saying. Once again, take this with a grain of salt. Any information on personality colors provided on this site is for entertainment purposes only and is not backed by any serious research unless otherwise noted.

We will do our best to gather the best available information on each color. We will also include known facts, such as the symbolic meanings of colors, which can affect our perception of colors.

So what about personality colors?

According to proponents of color psychology, your favorite color (or colors) defines your personality color. Yes, it’s that simple! According to them, the colors you choose say a lot about your physical, mental, and emotional state.

Similarly, the colors you dislike say a lot about your weaknesses and vulnerabilities. They do not recommend avoiding any particular color altogether, but incorporating a little bit of everything is preferable.

For those who struggle to define their favorite color, it’s generally suggested to look for patterns in their choices of clothing and decorative items. Often, you will find a tendency to choose specific colors, which suggests that these are your personality colors.

Moreover, a change in color preference is thought to be triggered by changing life circumstances. According to this theory, your new color preference may help you develop new qualities necessary to deal with your new circumstances.
