Colors – Show Your Personality What’s in your closet?

The idea was that color affects humans psychologically and physiologically (mind and body), and preferences for one color over another could clue us into that person’s current emotional state.  Indicates that there’s reason to believe the color schemes you choose communicate a lot about you, your business, and speak favorably to certain personality types.  If we know about this, we can also influence our partners, some people do this very intuitively, that they choose the right color for the right event. But usually when you go some place where there are many people, you can observe sometimes very funny things about people wearing absolutely the wrong colors for special occasions. Even as a business person you can choose the right color of your shirt and tie to give out the message you want and to make sure that you are seen as what you want to be.  You may find that politicians will wear the classic blue suit with a yellow tie. This is indicative of blue for improved communication and yellow for power and mental clarity. Take a look at your expression of colors.  What colors will you find in your closet?  Do you tend to wear mostly one color?  What colors are blatantly missing from your wardrobe?  Just like the colors we wear indicate a lot about us and where we may be out of balance; Colors that we dislike also are indicative of areas in our life where we may be out of balance.  We all have favorite colors, what are yours?  What colors are you most attracted to?  What colors do you not like?

All colors and your perceptions of them represent a part of who you are.  Each day the colors you are attracted to are different.   Have you ever considered why you chose to wear the colors you did today? 

Some of us love yellow, some of us hate orange. We all have our color preferences.

There is a reason for these color preferences which can be explained:

Either by life experiences involving that color - a negative life experience will make us dislike a certain color; a positive life experience involving a particular color will, of course, make us feel drawn to that color. Then again, an aversion to a color can indicate an imbalance in that particular area of the body.

Being aware of these preferences can tell us a great deal about ourselves and help us to address sometimes, very deep seated emotional issues, character traits etc.

Color can be incredibly enlightening and transforming. For example, growing up my mother always spoke about how she hated the color green and even though my mom loved color (the house was filled with bright colors), there never was a sign of green, I learned that when my mom was a child, she was very ill and she was hospitalized for a long period.  The walls in her hospital room were green.  So while green is a good healing color, as a patient my mom viewed green as a color for sick people.  So her bad memories in the hospital affected her thinking. 

Scientists, who have studied color and light extensively, recognize that colors bring about emotional reactions to individuals. Our reactions and attitudes to colors differ from person to person, which makes an interesting study in itself. Our attraction to certain colors may very well signal areas where we are imbalanced. Understanding why certain colors effect us favorably while others bring about negative feelings helps us along our healing journeys.
