What colours describe you?

You are: Calm, cool, and able to keep things more even keel than most.

Blue, the color of the ocean, is often associated with feelings of serenity, so those who love it are often able to find peace and tranquility in places where others do not. People who love to wear blue are said to be easy to get along with, reliable, and, for lack of a better word, lovable.

You are: Bold, sexually charged, and want to make a lasting impression.

Studies have also found that both genders are more attracted to a person in red than any other color. Although scientists aren't exactly sure why, they think it may have to do with the fact that when someone blushes they turn red and there's some sort of animalistic, sexual attraction there. People whose favorite color is red are usually aware the effect it has, and are extroverted and confident enough to take advantage of it.

You are: A wee bit off, but it your own special way.

People who are drawn to purple are sort of hippy-like in the way they impractically tackle the world with their utopian ideals. They tend to favor mysticism to reality, and prefer to see the world through violet-colored glasses in a way that can be difficult for those around them. It's probably best that they set up a Tarot card reading shop stat, and just get it over with already.

You are: A happy idealist who is underestimated far too often.

It takes a certain type of personality to prefer yellow to all the other colors. It involves a level of optimism that most people over the age of 10 just don't have. Because of this optimism, and the idealism that comes along with it, people who love yellow sometimes come off as whacky or aloof, but that's just because the moody folks are straight-up jealous.

You are: Prone to putting lots of importance on money and security.

Although you might think loving green means you love nature, according to color psychology, those who love green desperately want to feel secure in both their finances and relationships. To them, how they are viewed by others is their greatest concern, and they really want to be seen as successful, wealthy, and an important person in their social circles. They're also social butterflies and are probably on a diet as we speak.

You are: Friendly, easy going, and probably a theater major.

Those who adore orange want to be the center of attention, tend to be flamboyant in nature, and are not likely to have too many serious thoughts. They're friendly, and people like that — until the overdose of flamboyancy kicks in, when friends tend to run.

You are: A little naive, sheltered, and have delicate sensibilities.

Those who favor pink do so because it's an escape from the reality of impending adulthood. They're childlike in the way they interact with others, and hope to be able to pull off red, pink's older sister, when they finally grow up.

You are: Afraid of commitment.

Somewhere between black and white, grey is the color that just can't commit, and the same goes for those who love it. From the perspective of color psychology, grey is emotionless, boring, detached, and indecisive. Those who say their favorite color is grey don't tend to have any major likes or dislikes.
