What does your favorite color say about your character?

If you ask the Germans about their favorite color, more than a third say blue. And that applies to both sexes, as well as the fact that the second favorite color is red and the third is green. But what does that say about a person's character?

Findings from color psychology are only hints, the statements are not scientifically confirmed. But you can be inspired sometimes ...

blue

The sky, the water - blue radiates peace and space and is therefore probably the most popular color. So who prefers blue likes everything harmonious, serenity and freedom. This person is looking for relaxation and recreation. He is loyal, safety-oriented and profound. That's the positive side. However, blue also expresses a certain distance. Everything that is far away appears to the eye slightly bluish. In addition, the blue horizon and the sky blue are far away. These people can distance themselves from the things in their environment and act cool and rational.

red

What is the first word associated with red? Fervor! In love (a heart is usually painted red), in the fight (arguing with each other) and in nature (the red fire that burns everything down). Likewise, red lovers have two sides: the passion that drives and excites to peak performance and then the anger, revenge and destructive power. This human being is an apparition, is wholeheartedly committed to his passions, loves intimately and intensely, but can just as quickly fall into the opposite. Red is no relaxation - red is always adventure.

green

People in all cultures associate nature with green. So whoever is an outside person loves this color. It stands for earthiness - trees that are firmly connected to the ground by their roots - but also for growth and freshness. But this color can also be seen symbolically and does not automatically have to be favored by outdoor fans. These people want to radiate a stable image, provide security, have money and be successful. Everything has to grow with them and must not stand still - but never without losing the safe ground underneath.

yellow

Yellow is the sun - and that goes well with the people who have yellow as their favorite color. The color stands for optimism, for charisma, for life and warmth. Yellow fans will not give up, they are looking for ways to bring their favorite color (figuratively) into the world. And that is exactly the reverse side. Yellow is optimistic, but it does not radiate any peace. It is always a challenge to do more and so the people who have yellow as their favorite color can always be on the go to the next sun.

White

Who wears white? Doctors, nurses and spiritual teachers. There may be many reasons why this is so, but the effect can not be denied. White stands for hope and for helping. People who love white and wear a lot of white believe in the good. They dream of an ideal world and always want to help to make this planet better. However, one must be careful that one is not exploited as a white lover, because this can easily happen in people with helper syndrome.

black

If you have black as your favorite color, you do not have to worry. Although this color is first associated with grief and death in Germany, that is only part of the spectrum that Black stands for. Black is a strong contrasting color and that's why people wearing black take notice. And they want that too. Black is a statement and often comes with the desire to control itself. The color is supposed to hide secrets and be a wall. But who builds a wall around, also always has the desire that someone comes, which tears them down. After all, black also stands for eroticism, if you take it exactly, for the dark, seductive side of sex.

purple

The color purple is rare in nature and is fascinating for many. Hippies have often worn purple. Coincidence is not, because Lila stands for a certain feeling. If you like Lila, you are looking for different ways of looking at life. This person is spiritual, mystical and open to encounters that broaden the horizon. Purple fans want to live intensely and are not afraid to sink deep into pain, because that's a way to get to know each other better. But they also have some dominance and can teach others quickly.
