Is there a link between desirable colors and personality type?
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions. - Pablo Picasso
The meaning of colours can vary depending on culture and circumstances. Colour is a form of non verbal communication. It is not a static energy and its meaning can change from one day to the next with any individual.
Experts of colour psychology are of the opinion that one’s favourite colour is a means to understanding one’s behaviour, character traits as well as your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states.
One is often drawn to one’s personality colour for clothing and home decorating. It is often a predominant colour in one’s aura. Of course, your feelings about colour can also be deeply personal and are often rooted in your own experience or culture. For example, while the colour white is used in many Western countries to represent purity and innocence, it is seen as a symbol of mourning in many Eastern countries.
What does your favourite or personality colour say about you?
• Faber Birren, author of24 books about colour, said, “It is possible to make fairly accurate judgments about the meaning of colour preferences and their revelations of personality traits.”
• RED – This is the colour of extroversion, of a person with desire, appetite, a will to live life fully. You are somewhat aggressive, impulsive, perhaps athletic, surely quick to release your feelings and emotions. You have many ups and downs in your feelings.
To you, life is meant to be happy, and when it isn’t, you are confused and upset. You hate monotony, are quick to judge people, quick to form opinions and boldly express them.
• ORANGE – Generally you are good-natured, likable and social, you make friends easily, with an easy smile and a talent for small talk.
Chances are better than even that you will not marry, and if you do, your marriage will be one of light affection. You prefer friendliness and companionship to adoration. A natural born politician, you shine at any occupation in which you meet groups of people. You seldom indulge in serious thought or severe discipline.
• YELLOW – You have great expectations and diligently seek self-fulfillment. Yellow is the hue of idealism – you have a superior mind and you use it. Your manner may be aloof, but you are not shy. You may occasionally feel an awkward moment, but you never get rattled.
In many respects you are a longer. You are good at formulating plans, but may not be energetic enough to carry them out. You think things through clearly, are logical and consistent.
• GREEN - You are sure to be constant in your ways, persevering, sensible and respectable. You have a good balance. Outspoken, with a love of freedom, those who like green are generally social and live in a good neighborhood, have many friends and belong to social organizations. You tend to resist change. You like parties and you like to eat – and may usually be on a diet.
Your social standing, financial position and reputation are all of top importance to you. You constantly seek affirmation of companionship and affection.
• BLUE-GREEN – A fastidious person, you have good taste, dress well and probably are a connoisseur of good food and wine. You are poised and apparently self-controlled though inside you may feel tense. You would perish without love and admiration.
The man who likes blue-green may be conceited, sophisticated, well-groomed, witty and sarcastic. The woman who likes this hue has a remarkable sense of fashion, is vain, mysterious – and ever charming, with exception appeal to men.
Colour theory is a vast subject The above narration is not enough. kindly bear with me for the incomplete treatment.

s there is a link between personality and colors .It is this instinctual choice of a color that tells you a lot about yourself, how you function and how others see you. It is the means to understanding your behavior and your character traits as well as your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states. It reflects the way you operate in the world, your strengths and weaknesses, your vulnerabilities, your deepest needs and your challenges at that time in your life.
