So I have been trying to get a better mental picture of the people that I see throughout the mylot community and thought colors. I want to know my fellow mylotter/mylotians better. So if you had to describe to me using colors what colors would you be and why? I'll go first. For me I see myself as a bright yellow, a bit of red, with a little blue. The reason for the colors I chose to describe myself were I see yellow as bright and full of life, happy and energetic. Red to show my stubbornness and strength. Blue for the compassion I feel when I see people in need and my sensitive nature. I think that colors give a better understanding of the way a person thinks, emotions and over all type of person they are. So please tell me what colors are you? Why?

lets see, most days and to outsiders I am yellow, If I have red it is only a tiny wee bit at the edges , I have too much blue if the truth be said because I am forever being told I am too soft and worry too much about others ( can't help it ) I might just have a pinkish colour all around as I love cuddles and they make me feel all warm and rosy xx

I'm purple. Purple can be bright and vibrant. Or soft and comforting. It can be magestic and regal. And like you red is for my strength through all I go through and blue is a comforting color which I try to bring to people all the time.... what do you get when you mix red and blue - purple! So yeah I'm purple.

I am the colour of a sensuously deep red Merlot, it's the last colour you see before Nightfall, it's the colour of Passion and Compassion, it's the signature colour of the Mystic... It is also the first colour you see before Dawn... Though Vibrant and Rhythmic like a Lover...it is Quiet... Bathing All with soothing Warmth, bidding some to Sleep and Others to Rise... Closing your eyes to be Kissed, brings this Colour to you, It is darkly Electric, and you will sense It's Presence... and your Heart will quicken... It is the Colour of the Moment... Day and Business be done... Allow The Night and Passion To Begin...

I see myself as blue with some splashes of red! The blue represents my empathetic, caring nature as a nurse and mother. The splashes of red represent my fun-loving, crazy side and spirit! I love life and humor. I use humor to cope with all types of situations...which is what the red represents as well! Thanks for a great, thought-provoking discussion!

Thank you for responding, I would like to add a color to you and that would be a bright yellow, as I have seen that in your responses around the forum. :)

I started off as white, like a piece of paper. Now I'm yellowed with writings everywhere, a coffee stain on the lower left corner and some kids have been drawing on it using crayons. They're mostly red and brown.

This is different, that's for sure. Well, let's see... yellow, orange for seeing the sunnyside of things in life, I have a wide blue streak, a very compassionate heart. Lots of red for stubborness indeed. Plus tons of hot pink for the romantic in me. At times I am purple, when my spirit has been bruised. I guess I'm like a rainbow of colors.

I love the idea of seeing ourselves as colors. I see myself as a Red, which describes my feeling of being a good worker, and committed, and passionate about the things I feel and believe. I see myself as a green, because of nature, growth, and spirit. I then, see myself as a blue, for my deep thinking, seriousness, love, and generosity, and soul. That is pretty much how I feel, although, I hope that others feel that way about me also, lol. And not just myself. :)

Lets see.....I would describe myself as green.....because I like nature and I always try to see the good in people.Red....not for being stubborn(okay maybe just a little)....but for being passionate about life.Dark blue...because sometimes I feel depressed about how uncaring people can be.Light blue.....when I feel good about the way my life is going.....just like the feeling you get when the sky is clear and the sun is shining.Pink.....for being around the people I love and yellow for being able to laugh.

I think I'd be a little bit of bright yellow along with some light blue and light purple to go with my laid back side and maybe some orange to show my crazy kind of fun side. Cool question, I've never thought of representing yourself with colors.

I'd say I'm Christmas colors- red and green. I say green because I do not like to compete with people and am not very bragadocious- I think these are qualities of green people. I say red because I am hot tempered, neurotic and a bit of a spaz.

Oooooooo, this is a good one Beaniefanatic13! Hmmm, well let's see ... green is my favorite color. My eyes are green, I have a green thumb, and I love the mountains - which are predominantly green as viewed from a distance. Green is a blended color (from blue & yellow), and I'm a pretty blended person. I am rather ecclectic across the board. Meaning that I don't fit into a single mold. I love Mozart, but also love Billy Idol too. In the Chinese Zodiac, I am a Dragon ... which is green. In the traditional Zodiac I am a Gemini, which is blended. I think that the varying shades of green are a good representation of mind, body and spirit. The lighter the shade, the more white or yellow it contains (spirit & heart). The medium shades have more blue which is body & communication. And, the darker the shade the more mind - which is a muddled canvas waiting to be painted. Although I like to wear, decorate with and grow other colors, I'd have to say that the one color that best describes me is definitely green. The answers to this question should be really fun to read! I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for another really good one!
