 Today, let's delve into the colorful world of color psychology. Let's begin. What is your favorite color? This is a question that tops your childhood FAQs, right? The uniqueness of each human's mind makes it almost impossible to have a set of rules that applies to everyone's choice. Preferences you might have can be linked to your overall behavior. But did you know the characteristics of your personality can be based on what your favorite color is? Here are your favorites and what they say about your personality. 1. Black Black is a color to be taken seriously. People whose favorite color is black look for power and control. According to a study in 2018, they are perceived as serious, almost intimidating. You want to be seen by your internal qualities rather than your outward appearance by wearing black clothing. It personifies your independent and mysterious nature, as stated in a study by Peck in 2020. If your favorite color is black, others view you as a private person who masks their emotions. You only share your thoughts and feelings with close friends and relatives. 2. White Peck claims that the color white has a close relation with purity, birth, and innocence. A study by Myers in 2018 found people who favor white are very organized, independent and logical in the way they solve problems. You are known to be optimistic and focused on the bright side of life. You strive to find peace, but might come off as uptight and self-righteous, which results in decreased popularity within your circle of friends. Your nature can be condescending at times, which does more harm than good. Oopsie daisy. 3. Red The color red is closely related to passion, desire, and aggression. You are outgoing and adventurous.
