What your favorite color says about you?

October 3, 2012 6:37am CST
Looking at previous discussions on the topic of favorite color, people have asked why a particular color is their favorite. However, it seems that the question "What does your favorite color say about you?" has yet to be discussed. For example, if your favorite color is orange, does that mean you have a bright and cheery personality? If your favorite color is white, are you very innocent? Etc. Just as with other things, we are often stereotyped based on our favorite color, especially if it is black. What is the stereotype associated with your favorite color and does this hold true in describing you? I would have to say that my favorite color is bright purple. I think it says that I am a fun person and I believe that is true.

I do not know what my favorite color would say about me because as thesids has pointed out, I have a few favorite colors. I love green and my desktop wallpaper would always have some green scenery. But I love red and pink saris and have realized that I keep repeating these colors knowingly or even unknowingly [impulsive buys] because they suit me.So what would you call this?

I dont know how to decode a person by colors, but I sure do know to decode by interactions and the care the person reflects... and going by that, I know you are a very caring person dear kalav

Hi, I don't ascribe colors to personality until I read this. I don't think its true, I have a preference for black or dark colors and I don't know what that means. The only reason I prefer them is that it does not get faded easily and if it gathers dirt, it does not show easily. Moreover, it does not stand out in crowd if it is the color of my clothing, my computer screen is also black to minimize glare and eyestrain.

Colors have a lot to do with our mood. I think that if you are going punk, black is good and effective, but if you dress in black all the time it may have something to do with your mood. There is nothing wrong with it. They are your colors. Bright bright colors have never been my style. Color tells a lot about who we are.

The number 7 is my color too. And I think in your case you are right about the color blue. Men wear blue suits and it is a conservative color good for business.

My favorite color since childhood has always been racing green. I do not know why - racing green and deep plum. They are rich colors and speak of warmth. Also, when I heard that green was the Prophet Muhamad's favorite color too I was pleased. I also have the same lucky number 7 as the Prophet. God's blessings on everyone.

I don't have any favorite colors. But I do like bright colors. And maybe because I'm a loud and cheerful person that's why I'm really into bright and loud colors. :)

Your favorite color can say a lot about you..One of my favorite color is blue but i don't necessarily like blue on everything...I like to wear a lot pink, black , gray, colors..I like neutral colors on my wall.. People say that the colors they put on the walls helps change the way people think. For example, McDonald's wall color tend to be a light yellow maybe because it helps people with their appetite.. Purple wall in the kitchen helps to suppress appetite..
