Can color really tell something about your personality? I personally think it might! Colors may have different meanings varying with culture and beliefs. But I myself believe that if you relax and take yourself into a neutral state of mind and feeling, neither mad or sad, simply relaxed and a sense of peace…Colors could bring out certain personality traits within you.
What is a color personality?
Color psychology is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior. Colors affect perception, emotion and action. They can even influence the efficiency of everyday tasks. No wonder then that color has been employed in branding, product design, decorative arts, graphic design, advertising and media.
The psychology of color is based on the fact that colors are often associated with certain emotions or moods. For example, red is often associated with excitement or anger, while blue is associated with calmness or sadness.
Color can also influence our perception of objects and people. For example, studies have shown that warm colors (such as red, orange and yellow) tend to be associated with positive stimuli (such as happy faces), while cool colors (such as blue, green and purple) tend to be associated with negative stimuli (such as sad faces).
Color can also affect our behavior. For example, green is often seen as a calming color, while blues can promote productivity. Similarly, yellow has been shown to increase feelings of happiness and improve memory recall, while orange can help increase appetite.
How can knowing your color personality help you in life?
If you’ve ever taken a color quiz or test, you may have been surprised by how much your result said about you. That’s because colors can reveal a lot about our personalities.
Certain colors have specific associations that can give us clues about someone’s personality. For example, the color red is often associated with passionate, outgoing people, while blue is associated with calm, introspective people.

How can you find out your color personality?
There are a few different ways that you can find out your color personality. One way is to take a personality test online. These tests will usually ask you different questions about your personality and then tell you what your color personality is based on your answers.
Another way to find out your color personality is to think about which colors you are drawn to. Do you usually wear clothes that are in certain colors? Do you have a favorite color? The colors that you are drawn to can give you clues about your own color personality.
Once you know your color personality, you can use this information in different areas of your life. For example, if you know that you have a “spring” color personality, you might want to decorate your home with light, bright colors. Or, if you have a “winter” color personality, you might want to wear darker colors more often. Knowing your color personality can help you make choices that are in line with who you are and how you want to express yourself.
Here is one way to find out. Take the quiz yourself and tell me what you think. Was this you? Was it spot on?
