| What your favourite Colour says About You |
When
you favour one colour over other, you are telling a story about
your personality and behaviour. For example, a person
who dislikes
all colours is also likely to hate music, children and the world
as a whole. He finds everything wrong with him. Most of all the
colour haters intensely generate negative feelings within them
which lead
them to frustration and helplessness. Colour preferences are innate.
You are born with an attraction for particular colours. What you
feel about them will probably remain with you throughout your life.
Your colour choice is the result
of your genes, early childhood memories, education, parents belief
in cultural trainings, political leanings and
other aspects of lifestyle. Tender children who can't speak whole sentences
will often express themselves eloquently with a set of crayons. A general
delight in colours shown by an adult is thought by psychologist to demonstrate
the normal emotional tendencies in him. Normally all children love bright
colours. A child's preference for the black crayon probably indicates
repressed emotion or strict parental domination.
Yellow: A love of yellow classified as revealing
a youngster's infantile trails
and a dependance on adults. Red shows carefree feelings. Green indicates
that the child is balanced, with few emotional out bursts and having
a simple and uncomplicated nature of mind structure. Youngsters' colour
representations of their mothers are always nearly with pastel shades
and that of their fathers with darker shades. And so it is with adults.
A preference for one colour over another reveals your true personality
the characteristics of your real trait. You then feel and see within
yourself through your inner vision. Following are some of the personality
traits associated with the colour you adopt as your own.

Gray: You
are cautious, try to strike a compromise in most situations. You
encounter and seek composure and peace. You try very hard to
fit yourself into a mould of your own design. |

Purple:
Diverse interpretations are associated with purple. Purple gives mixed
messages. Historically, of course, the purple denoted royalty
and grand. But this colour is also associated with illness. To
symbolise vomiting and other forms of sickness some people wear
head band of purple colour. |
| The "Pull" of Colours |
We are always
attracted by the pull of colours.
Orange draws attention quickly and indicates
informality and loudly proclaims that the product is suitable for
everyone. Orange is a declassifying colour and can spoil the look
of an expensive hotel. Yellow is another declassifier. It signals
cheapness, temporariness and caution. Yellow is the colour that
the eyes register the quickest and the one likeliest to stop traffic
or sell a house. Even a single row of yellow marigolds growing
outside a home for sale will hasten the payments of the deposit.
Since yellow also signals
caution, it is preferred for rental cars, school buses and taxis,
but not for banks. Splashes of yellow such as
in a bouquet of flowers are cheering but a mass of the colour tends to
increase anxiety and cause tempers to flare. Babies cry more frequently
and with greater gusto in the presence of yellow.
Artists, singers,
writers and musicians also seem to reach their peak
in yellow rooms. Forest green and burgundy are
"class" colours. These two shades are preferred by the wealthiest
persons. Colour that classify elevate certain product's position or target
some specific buying population. Products marketed in a blue based
red containers sell with great success. Women inherit a preference
for bluish red while men seem to favour yellowish red.
Red, a classifier, has many virtues.
It makes people unaware of how much time is passing and is therefore
the colour of choice of casinos
and bars. Studies show that red makes food more aromatic and entices
people into eating more. Even if you shun the red cherries because of
their red dye they seem to make a better fruit salad in general taste.
These are a few examples from which we can clearly establish the pull
due to colour.
