According to the results my answers did not match very well with the majority. I only had 3 colors that matched what the majority seem to vote for but to be honest that makes sense. Im not really a huge fan of color, I love neutral colors and rarely stray away from that. I would say my favorite color is coral but i rarely wear it as black, gray and white tend to be much easier to pick out. I would say generally speaking the only experience I have with color would be relating color to personality types. At work we are taking quizzes to test personality types. By doing this we can find our strengths and opportunities. These quizzes usually also help with learning how to approach other color types. In chapter 8 of White Space Is Not Your Enemy it explains how color can be used to categorize. "Color can sort and clump to indicate what goes with what". I would say the same about the color personalities. It sorts strengths, opportunities for improvement and how that person receives feedback. As odd as it sounds for myself it was right on point. According to Angelica Vazquez certain colors go together on the color wheel I guess the same can e said about personality types certain people can click while others can't. She also said that certain colors can go well together in different forms ( print or web) I would say the same for different life settings for people. Certain personalities go well together at work but would never get along in a social setting and vice versa.
What do you think your color is? Test it out!
My color is green!
Green is know to stand for It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Green has great healing power and is the most restful color for the human eye. Guess its not terrible to have personality related to harmony and safety!

ReplyDeleteGirrrrrl, I am a sucker for personality tests. (Even if Paul said they're a bunch of hooey, I'll still take 'em when I see 'em!)
I got blues, and I feel like it's pretty spot on. Blue is one of my least favorite colors, but considering some of the "blue qualities" are being nurturing, adaptable, and harmonious, I'll happily align with that category :)
I'm laughing because of Stephanie's reference to Paul Smith. LOL
ReplyDeleteYears ago I had my "colors done." I visited a friend I hadn't seen in a while and she looked TERRIFIC! Did you lose weight? Are you working out? What's going on? I demanded to know. Her answer was that she'd "had her colors done." I immediately signed up and took her 10-year-old twin daughters with me. The process was interesting and consisted of being draped in various colors and various shades/tints of colors. I have a blue ring around my brown eyes, which made me very challenging to "do." End result: I'm a winter, so the hues I look best in are jewel tones: ruby reds, emerald greens, etc. We even got our own color palette with swatches of fabrics in "our" colors to take with us shopping. I wonder if I still have that...
