What do the colors you are drawn to say about you? I don’t really have a favorite color because I like playing with all colors, whether in my fashion outfits or my artwork. But I noticed that each season puts me in a mood to wear certain colors. I am aware that colors give off positive and negative vibes, but I will focus on the positive effects here. (I have actually written an article on the psychological effects of color in advertising, back in the late 80s for a college internship).
During autumn season, I am drawn towards wearing a lot of brown and orange shades, as well as beige and cream.
During winter season, I am drawn towards dark traditional colors, such as navy, burgundy, pine green, and sometimes icy pastels, black, grey, white, and purple.
During spring season, I am drawn towards light but soft colors, such as light green, light blue, pink, coral, pistachio green, lilac, violet, and light yellow.
During summer season, I am drawn to bright and bold colors, such as tropical colors, as well as yellow, red, neons, turquoise, magenta, and seaform green.
- Blue: calming, serenity, reflection, thinking, mindful, and peaceful.
- Red: physical, intense boldness, aggressive, passionate, and attractive.
- Yellow: emotional, intensity, optimism, confidence, creativity, positive, and fully awake.
- Green: harmony, balance, fresh, renewal, rest, and relaxation.
- Orange: comfort, abundance, fun, and warmth
- Purple: royalty, spiritual, psychic, luxurious, and quality.
- Black: sophistication, safe, and depressed.
- White: pure, clean, minimal, and simple.
- Grey: neutral, sterile, and conservative.
- Brown: warmth, earthy, trustworthy, stability, reliable, and supportive.
Combining more than one color in an outfit can emit mixed messages. Therefore, if you are trying to do something or trying to convince others in some way, then consider wearing certain colors to make you appear a certain way.
Therefore, I will analyze my seasonal preference colors to see what it says about me for each season.
The autumn season for me is all about coziness, comfort, warmth, and having fun in earthy environments and nature.
The winter season for me is all about traditional, elegance, professionalism, sophistication, and luxury.
The spring season for me is all about peace, serenity, harmony, balance, freshness, renewal, new beginning, and relaxation.
The summer season for me is all about physical fun, intensity, passions, attractive, positive, emotional, creativity, fully alive, and being bold, energetic and active.
But these days, I see the color red as a neutral color, similar to black, white, grey, and denim, in which I am likely to wear these colors during all seasons as the basic foundation to an outfit.
But warm-skinned people tend to use brown, off-white, cream, taupe, warm-toned red, and denim as their basic foundation color for an outfit.
