What Your Favorite Color May Be Saying About You
When asked about your favorite color, most likely you know the answer right away. You have probably loved the color since you were young and you’re not really sure why. This color may have differentiated your items from those of your siblings. Your toothbrush, winter coat, and favorite cup, may all have been your color making these items unique to you. So now, you wonder, what does my favorite color say about me?
If you are a person that loves red, you may be a person of high emotions. Red is the color most associated with emotional intensity. Red symbolizes love and hate. Cupid and the devil are both depicted in red. To “paint the town red” means to go out and celebrate. To “see red” is to be very angry.
Physically, red can be known to stimulate the appetite, elevate blood pressure and increase respiration. Becoming “red in the face” can signify an elevated blood pressure, anger, or even a hot flash.
Red is found in the environment in a blazing fire, blood, and roses. Cupid, red hearts and roses all signify love. The devil is not only symbolized by red, but by blazing fire.
People who love orange tend to be less extreme in their emotions than those that choose red. Orange is the color most associated with warmth. Orange lovers tend to be cheerful, warm and loving. As orange is the combination of red and yellow, people who favor orange can have qualities of either color.
Orange, like red, is also known to stimulate the appetite. Orange is associated with natural leaves in the fall, the setting sun and citrus fruit.
Yellow, another warm color, is associated with hope and happiness. Yellow too has conflicting connotations. On one side, yellow is happy and full of hope. On the flip side, yellow can mean cowardly.
Yellow is known to increase energy and elevate moods. Think of the ever popular smiley face. It’s yellow. Ribbons that show support to our troops are also yellow.
