What Colour Is Your Mood Today?

Why do we say we're "see red" when we're angry, or associate bright yellow to vibrance and youth? Does green really have a calming effect on us?

Whether we know it or not, colour has a profound effect on our moods. For example, if you have a high-profile meeting at the office, you may find yourself opting for a black "power" suit. Women also tend to feel racy and sexy in red lingerie, while pink brings out our feminine and cutesy side.


THE PINK PERSONALITY

The pink personality is tender, giving and vulnerable. If pink is your favourite colour, you are most likely to be talented, charming and warm. You also have drive but it's not an overly-aggressive ambitious streak. You are most likely to be a 'candles on the table' kind of incurable romantic.

THE TURQUOISE PERSONALITY

Turquoise is the coulour of relationships and humanitarianism. If you love turquoise, you're likely to be sociable, personal, emotional and ambitious. You like the uncluttered, purity of mind it leaves you with and makes you wish you could feel like that all the time. You're also likely to be single-minded and individualistic, and a great friend and lover of family life and animals.

THE ORANGE PERSONALITY

The orange personality is a lover of freedom. So if orange is your favourite colour, you'd most likely have the ability to extend or break down barriers. This colour seems to draw those who are thoughtful, considerate and possess self-control, which could be why sportsmen respond to the colour positively. If your friend loves this colour, you'll find he or she is usually the perfect friend!

THE BLUE PERSONALITY

Blue signifies peace with a purpose. The blue personality values honour and sincerity above anything else. People who love blue like to express themselves, and always advise caution to think before they leap. "Still waters run deep" is true of the blue personality! Those who love blue can be vulnerable too - they have a high sense of responsibility and so must be careful of perfectionist tendencies.

THE RED PERSONALITY

The red personality is that of the pioneer and the go-getter. Red is the colour of passion and power, so if you love red, you're more than likely to have a strong sex drive, love travelling and be creative! Those drawn to red often have an interest in the mystical. You also have a zest for life and like to stay on top of things.

THE YELLOW PERSONALITY

People drawn to yellow are self-confident personalities who will challenge anything: Authority, rules, long-established ways of thinking and so on! Adept at multi-tasking, yellow lovers are interested in theories, abstractions, innovations and change. Yellow lovers are a conceptual deep thinkers who enjoy getting "lost in their heads". Their interest in exploring new ideas often lead to innovative ways to make a difference.

THE GREEN PERSONALITY

A person who loves this colour lives in a world of intangibles where hopes, dreams and emotions are most important. They tend to look at the big picture, are not detail-oriented, and like to explore possibilities and alternative ways of doing things. You have a rich vivid imagination and thrive in an atmosphere that encourages the use of your creative abilities and talent. It is said that those who love green have a highly developed intuition and seem to be able to sense what others are feeling.


So what is your favourite colour, and what does it say about how you're feeling and behaving today?
