Influence of colors
Pretty, smart, cool?
What first impression are you making?
Could colors have something to do with how you’re perceived?
Studies show colors carry certain character traits, so what should you wear?
Here’s what different colors may say about you:
Red: Red in several studies is shown to attract. Red is also a color of strength. Red can come off bold and intimidating but, if worn properly, it will show off your wonderful aspects.
Orange: Being a bright color, orange often represents a spontaneous or bold person. Orange comes across as daring, but sometimes such a brave look can be off-putting. Remember color contrast is always a nice way to tone.
Yellow: When looking for fun and active, go look for this warm color. Yellow is loud, but once tamed can have an adult exterior. What is so wrong with fun though? Yellow is definitely not always a safe choice, but it may be just what you need!
Green: Hold your breath, because we are stepping into cool colors. Green can be bright or dull, just like all colors. Green represents peace but is just as easily identified as complex. Green can be mysterious. From grass to dragons, green is present but often stays back waiting to be noticed.
Blue: Well-known for its trustworthy presence, blue is also represents power. Blue often is runner-up to red when it comes to attracting someone. While red is more vibrant, blue is mostly admired for the opposite reason.
Purple: Purple symbolizes compassion and intuition. Purple is a great color for giving off a warm but professional vibe. Purple is generally considered a “girl color,” but guys can pull it off, too. Many girls are actually attracted to pinks and purples.
White: The color of innocence and purity. Most people know white to be a spiritual color. White is calming and good for giving off a glowing complexion.
Gray: Gray gives off waves of sensibility and grace. Gray is unfortunately labeled as the most depressing color, more depressing than black. Worn properly, gray can show everyone you are a sophisticated person to be taken seriously. Although it never hurts to add a nice bright color with grey (I like orange).
Black: If black did not show up in studies to be the “most attractive color” or “most depressing color,” what could it be? The answer is independence and discipline. While most women wear black to look slim, most men pick it up as independent. After all, what color better represents discipline than black? A black belt is even the highest belt in karate.
Pink: Pink symbolizes affection and vulnerability. Pink is the color of love, so these results don’t come as a surprise. Try to pair this color with a more dominate color to prevent coming off terribly vulnerable.
Those are the basic colors, so what impression are you giving off?
