Blue

Blue describes someone who has a strong loyalty and idealistic as a person. This color psychology associates for trust, honesty, and calmness. We describe this color as masculine because of its boldness that perfectly describes for someone who has good guts, very active, and being independent all the time. This color has similarities to red and orange for being optimistic about life challenges, but the difference is blue can’t cheer you up and add some argument like a leader. This personality is not reliable when it comes to emotional support because all he/she needs is himself/herself to figure out and solve problems without asking for help. #ICanPassWithoutYourHelp #ImFineDude

Black

Black describes someone who is mysterious and has secrets in life. This kind of color psychology associates of having external emotional stress due to different challenges in life. It is the contradictory character of the white color, which it is not able to succeed wisdom and perfection. This color also describes having inner insecurities and lack of confidence. Despite the fact that this color interprets as dark and mysterious, it also accentuates the darker side into something sophisticated and elegance like different positive energy character. Like the red color, black is also seductive and dominant by manipulating it and take control. This kind of character can be intimidating and interprets as the pessimist persona. The bad sides of this color psychology are being serious, conservative, and negative. We usually interpret this color for someone is bad or the black sheep of the family. We can be the black color on a real-life basis that we have to pretend that we are okay, but deep inside is we’re hurting so much from the pain. We able to manipulate our feelings to others, so we can move forward and forget those burdens in the meantime. #LeaveMeAlone #DontWorryImOkay

In my opinion, color psychology is not accurate for telling people of who they are based on what we see and feel to them. Creating false judgment cannot guarantee to identify someone’s characteristics. Let’s start by judging ourselves and focus on the things that matter to us. We have different characteristics that make us stand out. Picking our favorite color doesn’t mean to our characters. Through this color psychology, we can identify which color is best for you.

In this modern time, society is now open to any colors and differences because of our changing times that being unique is now okay and acceptable. Diversity is the main reason why we can move forward without hesitation and fear. If you’re different today, you are awesome!

    I love these color personality! I took a color personality test before and it pointed me to green! Well, maybe because green is the color of nature that it depicts calmness and balance. I admire this color as well but I am into purple and black. Well, I guess, we change in the long and so does our color preference… =)

    I have a huge collection of colored pens hanging around the house. I am a sucker of colors because I love them. I used to have a color wheel palette, which I have gotten from buying a huge amount of paint during the construction of our house here in Cebu. But I lost it somewhere. I tried looking for one but they are quite expensive. Aldrin, you’re a witness of my sucker of color pens. Hahaha. I love this article. I love reading it. I am hoping to have more of like this in the future since I can’t draw. So, I turn my attention to color pairing to salvage my unskillful self. If you’re wondering why my blog logos have colors red, blue and black, well, that explains everything. They have meanings and I stick to them for my goals in writing.

    For me, the color blue resonates with my personality. I’m pretty idealistic as a person, and it makes me a better person. Perhaps this is the reason why it is the main color of my logo.
