Your favorite color reveals your character, says a pioneer in the field of color study.
Faber Birren, author of 24 books about color, said, “It is possible to make fairly accurate judgments about the meaning of color preferences and their revelations of personality traits.”
Here is a color test to find out factors of your personality you may never before has suspected.
Simply choose your overall favorite color from the nine featured here – and read the results below;
RED – This is the color of extroversion, of a person with desire, appetite, a will to live life fully. You are somewhat aggressive, impulsive, perhaps athletic, surely quick to release your feelings and emotions. You have many ups and downs in your feelings.
To you, life is meant to be happy, and when it isn’t, you are confused and upset. You hate monotony, are quick to judge people, quick to form opinions and boldly express them.
ORANGE – Generally you are good-natured, likable and social, you make friends easily, with an easy smile and a talent for small talk.
Chances are better than even that you will not marry, and if you do, your marriage will be one of light affection. You prefer friendliness and companionship to adoration. A natural born politician, you shine at any occupation in which you meet groups of people. You seldom indulge in serious thought or severe discipline.
YELLOW – You have great expectations and diligently seek self-fulfillment. Yellow is the hue of idealism – you have a superior mind and you use it. Your manner may be aloof, but you are not shy. You may occasionally feel an awkward moment, but you never get rattled.
In many respects you are a longer. You are good at formulating plans, but may not be energetic enough to carry them out. You think things through clearly, are logical and consistent.
GREEN – You are sure to be constant in your ways, persevering, sensible and respectable. You have a good balance. Outspoken, with a love of freedom, those who like green are generally social and live in a good neighborhood, have many friends and belong to social organizations. You tend to resist change. You like parties and you like to eat – and may usually be on a diet.
Your social standing, financial position and reputation are all of top importance to you. You constantly seek affirmation of companionship and affection.
BLUE-GREEN – A fastidious person, you have good taste, dress well and probably are a connoisseur of good food and wine. You are poised and apparently self-controlled though inside you may feel tense. You would perish without love and admiration.
The man who likes blue-green may be conceited, sophisticated, well-groomed, witty and sarcastic. The woman who likes this hue has a remarkable sense of fashion, is vain, mysterious – and ever charming, with exception appeal to men.

I have recently started a case study about favorite color and personality type and was very excited to see this headline, but when I've interviewed Psychology professors and such, all the responses were that no correlation exists.
I'm very interested in these studies. Has anyone else heard of anything pertaining to color and personality correlations?
Without question there is a correlation between color and personality but to identify this you need to assess a color preference of preschool children before they are influenced by external
Stimuli.
What about black????
People who choose black tend to be liars. They are self centered and have a tendency to cheat on their partner. I don't trust people whose favorite color is black.
my 3 yr old son's favorite color is black…..is he negative?what should i do?
oh please, everyone is a liar, black is more of a rationalist color, meaning that someone takes everything very seriously, and have little to no emotion, only when someone's favorite color is black for a stage in life do the tend to be liars, not because they are selfish, but because they are in denial
yes i agree with you i see most of people who's favorite color is black they speak most of the time
what about purple?
What do you think about silver? And thanks for the post!
Black is a colour which absorbs all colour……so the personality of a person whose fav colour is black…is kind of lyk….he can adjust in any situation…..normally would hav some anger issues…..dey are passionate people…..dey dont believe in dualism…. a thing or a person is either good or bad for dem……and for most dey are not liars …….dey hate lies…….
On the contrary, white absorbs all colours. o
