Colors Meanings Notice how colors can mean very different things - it is not that the colors themselves have meaning, it is that we have culturally assigned meanings to them. For example, red means warmth because of the color of fire. Likewise, it means anger because of the increased redness of the face when it flushes with blood.

What should be interesting, is that the colours, your personality depicts, tend to be very closely related, to colours you would pick from choice, as liked, or on the opposite dislike!!!
Thus people are very predictable once you get a closer view of the person, in a relationship, or just friends.
Thus people are as predictable, as to how much of a closer view they provide the person being associated with.
The bottom line is: - Are you a public person - Are you a private person
I usually wear brown shoes, camouflage pants, and green or brown shirts or jackets. I often wear a light shirt in blue; something that fits under green.
When my friend's sister told me, "Blue and green don't match! You should never wear those clothes together!"
I walked her to the window... In Hawaii, our whole world is blue and green.
Apparently when you tell people your favourite colour is green they respond more positively than they would to any other colour. The colour of universal rapport particularly for women. Men are slightly more likely to actually want you to agree with them, if he likes blue so should you.

If you ask someone what colours they like, they will stipulate more than one, and if you refer to the colour with the attributes, above, you will get a vague idea as to the person's personality. Not many men choose blue, or women green, on it's own!
That’s my chameleon answer to the question although the truth is I can’t decide between blue, brown, green and my secret fancy for the colour purple. It must be in my DNA my dad looks a bit Persian.

Ok, now read up above on the colours, and tell if that is you?
If color is solely the way physics describes it, the visible spectrum of light waves, then black and white are outcasts and don't count as true, physical colors. Colors like white and pink are not present in the spectrum because they are the result of our eyes' mixing wavelengths of light.
