I want color. I need color. I am affected by color!

I love the color of colors. Colors influence my mood – the way my day starts and how I feel. It gives me the feeling of well being and contentment. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable in the company of a person whose colors clash with my mood for the day. I am of the opinion that colors also reflect individual personality.
When I eat out in a restaurant that has red on the wall, I usually want to stay longer in that place. Then I realized that we can be affected by the color itself as well as by its intensity. For example if I go a place that has white walls and ceiling, it gives that open, airy and inviting feeling compared to a room in which the ceiling is painted in dark color – the room will be very gloomy. As I grew up I also realized that people’s color preference is also influenced by country, religion, social background and even by gender. I realized that the Scandinavians preferred blues, the English like cool colors, the Africans like bright warm colors, the Hindus like red and yellow for celebration and the Chinese like red. Purple is a ladies’ color - you hardly see a man wearing purple!

My favourite colors are purple, pink, orange, red and green. I like them strong and bright and my wardrobe is all about these colors in different shades and textures.
A psychotherapist friend once analyzed my color preference and this is what he concluded about me based on colors I liked very much:
“You are interested in the world. You are friendly, talented and probably romantic. Friendly and sweet with a tendency to be innocent and a little naïve sometimes, you are a good natured extroverted people person and make a good business person. You tend to be fickle minded if you are doing a job you don’t like. People who like bright green are people who are concerned with doing the right thing and like to be admired. You are loyal and caring, intelligent and easily grasp new concepts. You have a tendency to gossip and love food.
The purple person in you is perplexing and highly creative with a quick perception of spiritual ideas. Only unconventional thinkers prefer purple. Generous and charming you are very sensitive and easily hurt. You have a tendency to be vane and moody. Purple people are easy to live with but hard to know. You can be secretive and often have conflicting traits.”

And the above is true of me!! So now, the next question is – my character determined what colors I like or the colors determine what character I should be. Do you know?
