True colors
What color are the clothes you are wearing right now? Your answer might say more about you than you think. According to yourtango.com, the color you wear the most has great power over your mood, your attitude and how you are perceived by others. Yikes.
If your wardrobe consists of a lot of the color black, you may be seen as “powerful.” But beware, the article says, as too much black can be overpowering. Nobody told Johnny Cash.
White clothing can help you “look clean and innocent” and imply that you are an “organized and detail-oriented person.” Until you spill on it, of course.
People either love or hate purple, according to the article. If you want “to appear regal” or “show uniqueness and artistic creativity,” then purple is a great choice. And, if you are a Vikings fan, it is even better.
Orange is “a playful color.” If you wear too much orange, though, you may not be taken seriously. Orange you glad you know this now? (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
Blue, one of the most common clothing colors, represents “honesty and trustworthiness.” The article says this is why hospital employees, bank logos and law enforcement uniforms are typically blue. Can’t argue with that.
When you want to appear all-natural, green is said to be the way to go. The article also states that shades of green make a big difference. Deep green can “signify envy and greed,” and Army green can “make you appear rigid.” Natural and rigid? Hmmm.
Red is a color of “action, power and passion” and shows that you want to be “recognized when you walk into a room.” Go, Cyclones.
Pink is another color of passion but shows “that you’re vulnerable, and, of course, girly.” I assume my “salmon-colored” shirt falls in this category.
Keep in mind that this is all one person’s opinion (Tegan Connor, brand manager for Neverland Store), but check out the full article here and have some fun with this today.
Have a fantastic Friday, and thanks for reading.
