What the colors that we wear reveal about us


The colors that surround us have a great impact on our mood or how feel. We all know how interior designers make use of colors to create different moods in different rooms. We can do the same thing when it comes to our outfits. Never plan an outfit the day before because you’ll never know what your mood is the next day. I read articles about colors from magazines and online articles. I decided to share them to you here in my space in the cyber-world. :P


RED - When you want to draw attention, wear red. It is also often attributed to romance and passion. If you’re going out on a date, red would be the perfect color to wear. It is also said that red makes you hungry and stimulates appetite. Notice the corporate signatures of Mcdonald’s and Jollibee? Both corporate signatures are red.


ORANGE - Orange is a like red but it’s a little more calming. It also puts you into a good and lively mood.


YELLOW - Yellow is the color of the sun. If you’re blue, wear yellow to make you feel sunny or cheer you up. It is also said that yellow is the color of intelligence and aspiration.


GREEN - Green is the color of nature. It is tranquil and soothing. It is also refreshing. Research has proven that looking at something green reduces stress. It is also the color of growth. If you’re stressed and overwhelmed with all the things to do for school, wear green to feel more relaxed and calm.


BLUE - Blue is the color of the sea. Blue is peaceful and soothing color. It can also be a color that can be attributed to being cold and standoffish. Like green, the color blue can help you relax in times of stress but it is said that the color blue can subliminally make you feel more “blue”. Additionally, a research revealed that blue can make you more creative. If you’re creating a work of art in the form of music, video, photo, websites and the like, be sure to wear blue.


PURPLE - Purple is associated with being regal and sophisticated. It also signifies creativity and luxury. Seeing the color purple can heighten your energy level. It is also attributed with spirituality and intuition. If you’re making a very big decision, wear purple.


PINK - We all know that pink is a very popular color when it comes to girly-girls. It signifies romance and happiness. If you are happy and inlove, wear pink.


WHITE - White reflects light. Remember when Hayden Kho wore a white polo in court during the trial of the case that he is involved in? White is often associated with peace, innocence, simplicity and cleanliness. Wear white when you want to hype other colors that you are wearing. You can pair anything with white.


BLACK - Black is a very popular color in fashion. It is also a popular color for rocker dudes and chicks and bad-ass villains. Black is associated with power, seriousness, authority and responsibility. When applying for a job or after a promotion at work, you might want to wear black. 


What do you think about these colors? Which color suits your mood right now?
