I recently met a woman who really loves White color. And I thought: people, in general, don’t think about why they prefer one color or another. They say: “I just love him” or “I like him,” or “He suits me.” Although it has long been known that, based on favorite colors, it is easy to draw a psychological portrait of a person or his psychological state on this moment.
Every person wants to be in balance. And for this, so-called “harmonizers” are used. They come in different forms. COLOR is one of them. Trying to remain in a state of harmony, a person SUBCONSCIOUSLY resorts to using color as source of a certain energy, which he lacks at the moment. Therefore, you JUST cannot want any color. The body gives a signal that it needs balancing, harmonization. It is worth paying attention to this and analyzing what our subconscious is saying. And what it says, read on for each color. I propose to consider each color in two aspects: subconscious and unconscious.
In the “subconscious” that deep thought will be formulated in a VERY concentrated form, or rather, thought form, which DOES NOT allow a person to remain in balance, in harmony with himselfloves a certain color and subconsciously chooses it. But a person does not always, say, wear the same color. So in the “unconscious” it will be shown how the state of a person is manifested externally, what he shows to others, in other words, why does a person chooses one color or another during a certain period of time.

WHITE COLOR.
Subconscious: Desire for purity.
A person subconsciously feels that he has “dirty” thoughts, thoughts or actions.
He thinks or does something for which he reproaches himself, which he considers unacceptable behavior for himself. The desire to purify oneself, to appear or be purer than one actually is, forces a person to resort to surrounding himself with the color white. (Brides don’t count, because there are traditions here, although the roots are the same). Such a person’s self-esteem is quite low, because... He dissatisfied with myself. But he wants others to be happy with him.
Unconscious: Therefore, the one who wears white tries to show everyone that he:
- wants to be liked
- wants to easily adapt to the society in which he is located,
- strives for harmony and peace.
Briefly speaking, tries to show himself better than he thinks he is inside.
This means that when you catch yourself not being happy with something about yourself, feel free to take out a long-forgotten white blouse from the closet or buy a new white cardigan.. White color will feed you with the energy of purity
And if you are not satisfied with the “weather” in the house or for some reason the relationship between family members is strained, lay a large white carpet in the living room, or you can also put in white upholstered furniture, the situation should normalize.

RED COLOR.
Subconscious: Desire to lead.
A person is NOT a leader by his qualities, but he subconsciously wants to manage, command, and impose his will. Such people are easily excitable, impulsive, want to attract attention by any means, and manipulate people. By and large, all these qualities are due to the disguised feeling of inferiority.
Unconscious: Therefore, the one who wears red wants to show that he:
- self-confident, knows his own worth,
- decisive, takes responsibility,
- strong-willed, powerful, altruist.
Briefly speaking, maximally raises one’s self-esteem and importance in the eyes of others.
So, if there is reason to think: why do I rate myself so low? who or what underestimates my importance, does not take into account my opinion and does not fulfill my demands?, then a red blouse or shirt, some kind of red scarf or red underwear will help you feel more confident (no one sees it, but your self-esteem definitely rises). If someone in your household is causing feelings of inferiority, buy some red thing for the house.

ORANGE COLOR.
Subconscious:Desire for creativity.
A person is sucked into the routine of life, he wants to wake up, feel the “action”, add emotions, actions, colors. Orange color gives people the energy of action. Such people are energetic, impatient, competent in many areas, passionate dreamers, goal-oriented, practical and intuitive. Oddly enough, in the subconscious of such behavior lies inability or unwillingness to relax, fear of loneliness, fear of getting bored, not being able to copekeep busy, entertain.
Unconscious: The one who wears orange wants to show that he:
- full of life,
- generator of ideas and extraordinary solutions,
- "perpetual motion machine"
- "man is a holiday."
Briefly speaking, the swamp of his life fills with movement and seething.
So, having caught yourself in a state of: what, are you bored? Are you stuck in everyday life? do you want a holiday? or has the loss of strength begun? Feel free to wear orange clothes or surround yourself with orange things.

YELLOW.
Subconscious: Desire for ease.
The person is too focused on himself, he is weighed down by the problems that lie on his shoulders, he has become pessimistic, picky or cynical. The desire to shed this burden, to become lighter, more mobile and more cheerful pushes us to choose the color yellow. This color gives a person such qualities as friendliness, calmness and ease, sociability, courage, curiosity, and easy-going. Such people easily adapt to any living conditions.
Unconscious: The person who chooses yellow wants to show that he:
- decisive,
- quickly and easily solves his own and other people’s problems,
- optimist,
- friendly.
Briefly speaking, increases "wingspan" for greater lift.
Therefore, feel free to put on yellow clothes, a scarf, a bag or shoes and show everyone that you are not in words, but in fact, already in the process of “fastening your wings”, and now no life problems they will not be able to lower you to the sinful earth...

GREEN COLOR.
Subconscious:Desire for peace.
A person is under the annoying influence of others (at work or in the family), but in every possible way is looking for a way to assert himself. He is cautious and non-confrontational, and prefers to observe rather than act, so as not to get into a difficult or simply stupid situation. Such a person would rather sit on the sidelines than rush to solve life’s problems.
Unconscious: The one who wears green tries to prove to himself and others that he:
- self-sufficient,
- is not afraid of everyday difficulties and vicissitudes of fate,
- active and assertive
- inspires trust.
Briefly speaking, calms the turbulent life around him and does not succumb to the influence of others.
Therefore, if you feel tired or the pace of life becomes too fast, surround yourself with the calming energy of green.

BLUE COLOR.
Subconscious: Desire for peace.
A person feels that his feelings are out of control. There is also a desire to get rid of unnecessary aggression. In this regard, it is the blue color that brings an atmosphere of peace and calmness to the senses.
Unconscious: Blue clothes and wardrobe details clearly demonstrate that the person wearing them:
- creative,
- full of imagination,
- sensitive.
Briefly speaking, keeps himself in control and his feelings under control.
In our crazy age, full of worries and stress, there are few things that act as calmingly as the blue color of the sky and sea lagoons...

BLUE COLOR.
Subconscious: Desire for self-confidence.
The person feels that he is completely self-sufficient and mentally stable, but becomes emotionally dependent, and he lacks a sense of self-confidence and the goodwill of others. Or, as an option: a person gives the impression that he can do anything in the world, but in fact (on a subconscious level) he is a model of uncertainty and isolation.
Unconscious: Many companies choose blue for their uniforms, because... he says that there is a man in front of you:
- responsible,
- smart,
- independent,
- benevolent,
- has sufficient knowledge in his field.
Briefly speaking, professional and knows what he says and does.

TURQUOISE.
Respectively see GREEN and BLUE colors. Problems from two directions, which is quite common.

PURPLE.
Subconscious: The desire to immerse yourself in your inner world.
Man is forced to live for a long time only the present, but he understands that the future depends on the past, and he also wants to feel wiser and mentally stronger. All this is given by the energy of violet color.
Unconscious: Purple color in clothes says that in front of you:
- a harmoniously developed person,
- emotionally sensitive,
- spiritual,
- a sensitive person.
In short, a person who internal and external are in complete correspondence and harmony .
Recently, the need for violet energy has increased greatly, because... we have practically no time, or even just the strength, to be alone with ourselves.

PINK COLOR.
Subconscious: The desire to be loved.
A person really wants to return to childhood, when he was loved not for something, but simply because he was born, because he is he, the one and only.
Unconscious: Whoever wears pink adds to himself the feeling that he:
- does not lack love,
- kind to others,
- not capricious,
- pragmatic.
Briefly speaking, in every possible way stabilizes his immaturity and immaturity in emotions.
It can be very interesting to observe which part of the body our women “wear” pink color. After all, this can also tell you something. For example, a pink blouse suggests that this is a woman who subconsciously desires hugs, touches, and bodily sensations of love. Pink trousers - she is ready to “run” towards her love. Pink lipstick- she should “feel” love with her lips and kisses. Pink lingerie - the sexual component is important in love. Pink nail polish - love needs to be “touched”: hold your loved one’s hand, stroke, caress. Pink jewelry - love should be “beautiful”. Well, etc. and so on.

BROWN COLOR.
Subconscious: Desire for comfort.
A person begins to subconsciously feel some danger or discomfort. The energy of brown seems to wrap you up, as if covering you with a cozy checkered blanket (and it’s true, most of these blankets are brown for some reason...)
Unconscious: At this moment in time, a person wants to show that he:
- stands firmly on his feet,
- values ​​traditions and family foundations,
- moderately proud and moderately self-centered,
- Quite secretive and not very open to frankness.
Briefly speaking, your own “cocoon” has been created, and only something extraordinary can make a person crawl out of it.

GREY COLOUR
Subconscious: Desire for constancy, stability, balance.
A person gets tired of the frivolity and impatience of those around him. He wants to bring seriousness and prudence into his life. This is what the energy of gray adds. No wonder a man dressed in a gray suit involuntarily evokes respect.
Unconscious: Clothes of any shade of gray, from light to deep dark, indicate that this is a person:
- looking at life soberly,
- reasonable,
- not an upstart,
- weighing and thinking before making a decision,
- inspiring trust.
Briefly speaking, a person who deserves respect, but also respects others.
Note that the famous and rich in good society resort to a respectable gray color with might and main. In this way, they add weight to themselves and signal to others about their calm attitude and lack of aggressiveness.

BLACK COLOR.
Subconscious:The desire to hide.
NOT JUSTIFIED expectations from life, not getting what you expected attention from family, unfulfilled expectations confessions from parents or children, from society, give rise to a depressive complex in a person. He wants to run away, to close himself off from his surroundings. The color black is associated with darkness and absorbs energy, so it gives the impression of a hiding color, a hiding color. They say: “Black makes you slim.” But it simply does not emphasize the bulge. And the right silhouette makes you look slim. Any tailor will tell you this. A robe, no matter how black it is, will not make you look slim... It will only show and tell everyone that its owner is in a prolonged depression, even if subconsciously.
Unconscious: Putting on black clothes, show everyone what you are today:
- closed and not ready to “open their soul”,
- melancholic,
- not authoritarian,
- pessimistic.
But... It is strictly not recommended to do this every day. People will quickly get tired of seeing a pessimist in front of them, and they will soon turn away from such a person. Black is justified in daily wear only in very DOSAGE or in the form of accessories.
I recently witnessed a woman, seeing T-shirts in 12 colors on the counter, exclaim: “God, what beautiful colors!” But her hand reached out for a black T-shirt. To my question: “What about the colors?” She smiled at the situation and answered honestly: “They are not for me.” Like this. This is already a diagnosis...

The color palette we choose for clothing and interior design can tell a lot about our character. Since ancient times, people have learned more about each other by the color scheme that a person prefers.

This is not just a matter of taste - subconsciously we strive for colors that reflect our essence. Every color and shade carries a message, and once you learn to read it, you can easily determine your character by your favorite color. Let's look at the main colors and shades preferred by women and men.

Red

People who prefer the color red have a number of contradictory qualities. On the one hand, they are purposeful, success-oriented natures. On the other hand, they are impatient and hot-tempered.

The character of a person who loves the color red attracts others - such an individual easily becomes a leader. The desire to rule and get the most out of life is not alien to lovers of scarlet shades. They are successful in their careers and ambitious.

The downside is that those who choose red are impatient and often intolerant. In general, these are bright, memorable people.

Orange

Is your favorite color orange? This means you are an extraordinary person. Those who choose orange love to be the center of attention and are quite talented. They are believed to have well-developed intuition.

Among the disadvantages of lovers of this color is inconstancy. This interferes with the harmonious development of your personal life and can also harm your career.

Yellow

Everyone who loves yellow, is distinguished by an easy attitude to life and self-confidence. Such people easily get along with other people, successfully communicate on work issues and do not experience difficulties in communicating with loved ones.

Like orange lovers, yellow fans are flighty and will never give up freedom. Thanks to this inconstancy, they easily adapt to new conditions. If you prefer this color, you are an open and generous person who is a pleasure to be around.

Green

If the favorite color is green, this indicates the sincerity and openness of the one who prefers it. Green lovers can be the life of the party or show organizational skills.

Green in psychology is the color of calm and harmony. Therefore, everyone who loves him strives for a light, pleasant atmosphere. They are also punctual, smart and friendly. Among the disadvantages is the inability to say “no”.

Blue

From the point of view of psychologists, in some respects blue is similar to green: it is preferred by kind, open and friendly people. The blue color reflects the romanticism of nature and the desire for stability in life.

People who love this color are spiritual and honest. Like green color, blue symbolizes calm.

Blue

The character of a person who loves the color blue often becomes the source of his problems. Blue lovers are not always self-confident, often melancholic and prone to worry. They are modest and rarely enter into conflict - no matter at home or at work.

By choosing shades of blue, you are telling the world that you need rest - blue is the color of fatigue. This color in clothing or accessories also speaks of a desire for public recognition.

Violet

Know someone who prefers purple? This is an extremely unusual person. This color is chosen by original people, with a craving for the mystical side of life and creative potential.

Lovers of purple have a difficult character; they can be overly emotional and hot-tempered. Just like yellow purple speaks of a strong desire for freedom.

Pink

If you want to determine a girl’s character by her favorite color, and she chooses pink, know that she strives for comfort and coziness. Those who prefer this color are calm and need attention.

These people are soft and charming, often with their head in the clouds. Daydreaming makes it easier to endure unpleasant life events - they simply hide in dreams and wait for the storm to subside.

In love, such people are weak, because care is very important to them.

Burgundy

Those who love burgundy are confident in themselves, they always achieve their goals and have leadership skills. They are conservative, serious and assertive. It is easier for them to explain things by appealing to reason rather than feelings.

They are stingy with emotions, but at the same time brilliantly organize the activities of other people. Those who love burgundy are born leaders. They draw strength from victories and achievements.

Turquoise

The aqua color is preferred by strong people who know their worth and know how to achieve what they want. They are spoken of as having an unshakable character and powerful energy.

If you have a lot of turquoise items in your wardrobe, you probably have willpower and always go towards your goal. When describing a person whose favorite color is turquoise, we talk about strength, concentration and thoroughness.

White

White is the color of purity, freshness, a new beginning. He is chosen by honest people who have nothing to hide. The desire to prove oneself and achieve a lot is inherent in almost all white lovers. However, some of them lack the practicality that burgundy fans have.

Those who choose white are self-sufficient, neat and thrifty people.

Black

Psychologists believe that black is often chosen by insecure people with complexes or other problems. Black color acts as a veil behind which you can hide from the world.

Black is also loved by those who strive to create a mysterious image. By choosing black, you declare to the world that you have a sharp character and a quick temper.

Are you capable of strong feelings, be it love or hate. For people who like black, everything in life is often divided into black and white, without compromise.

Grey

Gray is the color of responsibility, a reasonable approach to life and constant calm. It is chosen by those who are used to listening to their reason and operating with facts.

Lovers of gray do not have spontaneous impulses - in their lives everything is calculated down to the smallest detail. If you want to determine the character of a man by his favorite color, and this color is gray, know that next to you is a serious and thoughtful person.

Brown

Conservative and prudent people prefer brown color. They know how to wait, have their own opinions and often demonstrate conservatism. Such people love peace, they themselves are not very talkative. They like to lead, but sometimes their temper interferes with their ability to work with people.

In general, brown lovers are very good-natured.

How to determine a person's character by his favorite color

You can't always determine your character by the color of your clothes. Men often choose strict colors: black, gray, brown - but not because these are their favorite colors, but because they are embarrassed to wear bright things. Ask a man a question about his favorite color, and you will almost certainly see that it is not represented in his wardrobe.

With women the situation is simpler. You can find out what a girl is like by her dress, shoes, bag, and accessories. Also color scheme for the interior can tell a lot about those who live in the house.

If you set out to learn how to determine character by colors, you can learn a lot of new things. Make observations, start with people close to you. Perhaps some of their features will become more obvious and noticeable to you.

Psychology of color in clothing

Throughout life, favorite colors change, because character is also subject to change. Did you love bright colors as a child and later started wearing black? Perhaps not everything in life goes smoothly.

Depending on the events around us, we reflect them with the color of the things we wear. In addition, color etiquette in clothing has existed for centuries. So, girls get married in white (a symbol of purity), and mourners wear black (a symbol of loss).

The color of clothing can tell a lot about the psycho-emotional state of a person, reveal his weaknesses and show his strengths. Favorite color and character are closely related - take a closer look at the clothes that the person you are interested in chooses.

Or go from the opposite - if a person puts some color in last place, it means a certain set psychological characteristics It’s definitely not typical for him.

Color chart testing

Psychologists make a portrait of a person, depending on their favorite color. For these purposes, the Luscher test is used.

Max Luscher's eight-color table allows you to quickly assess the current state of an individual, determine his inclinations and abilities, and learn more about his character, pros and cons. There is a more thorough approach to the study - an extended version of the test, consisting of 7 color tables.

As part of a short test, a person determines which colors are pleasant to him. On this basis, the specialist draws conclusions about his psychological state and character traits.

Red is the most striking color in the color scheme. It’s not for nothing that all warning signs and signals are highlighted in red – it is always noticed.

Karina, 23 years old, Sevastopol

I've always loved the color purple. I just loved it. I didn’t know where to go after school, I didn’t like any profession. I read that people who are in love with the color purple are creative people. I trusted it. I have been a successful artist for 5 years now. I draw portraits, the demand is huge. Thanks to those people who collected all the knowledge about color. Indeed, it helped me a lot.

Valentina, 34 years old, Moscow

An incident once happened to me: I was on the subway, and a decent-looking man sat down next to me. He starts looking at me sideways. I’m nervous, and he blurts out: “Girl, what’s your favorite color?” “Well, orange,” I say. And then he was delighted and asked me to go on a date without even asking my name. Married for 3 years, everything is great. As it turned out, he was a psychologist and at that moment was studying the psychology of color. For a long time he was looking for a girl who corresponded to his ideal (she had to love yellow or orange). And he found me. Like this interesting story orange love.
