Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. If you close your eyes and think about each color, what one object do you envision to represent each color? I will reserve my answers for responses to responses to do something different.

Well since you did it in rainbow order, my first thoughts were the following Red, Orange and Yellow (Bright, warmth, sunlight, sunset) Green, Blue and Violet (My hair. Basically my favorite color scheme) Individually Red - Berserking Orange - Sunsets Yellow - The Sun Green - Plants and Life (both entered my mind) Blue - Water (lakes, rivers, ocean) Violet - Nebulas

I like this question, its a fun game and interesting to see what the mind comes up with. I have more than one answer for most of mine. Red--if you can NOT think about the answers too long and put down the first thing that comes to your mind....which Im having a little trouble doing.....I think of a bright red apple, garnet, fire truck Orange--I have to say an orange and a sunset. Yellow--a canary and a bright ray of sunlight Green--One of those lime flavored lollipops with no stick (what were they called again??) They had no stick, I used to get them when I went to the doctor as a child. Pine trees, and frogs. Blue--a light blue sunny sky, a dark blue night sky, and a pond. Purple--Royalty comes to my mind on this one.

The original intent was to NOT think about the answers too long and just put the first thing that comes to mind, but I was not very clear about that. Nonetheless, it's been interesting to read what people come up. It often says something about one's personality. Thank you!

Any particular reason why you associate blue with your boyfriend? Does he maybe wear blue jeans all the time or is it his favorite color? It's interesting when associations break in pattern. Normally, that means that the object (or person in this case) is a priority in your mind and therefore represents itself through a basic thought. Thank you for your answers! When I close my eyes and think of the color green, I think of leaves.

Red is often associated with things that are hot or heat itself. Thanks for your response :)

Hmm, the first things I think of are red flavored candy, jello with tangerine pieces, banana, green apple soda, Winterfresh gum, boysenberry jam. Not that food is always on my mind... But if only one object were to stand for each color...I'd have to say that red = blood, orange = the sun, yellow = gold, green = plant-life, blue = the sky, and purple = homosexuality (I don't know why, but I think it's just a pop culture thing.).

Someone likes food! Hahaha Very interesting answers. A few were kind of expected but some were not. When I close my eyes, for the color red, I see an apple. Thanks for your response!
