Do you know that color personality plays a major role in your life? Are you even aware that such a concept exists? Although not highly publicized, color psychology has been around for quite some time. Individuals can use their color personality to better understand themselves. If you are interested in learning how color preferences affect your life, keep reading.

What Is Color Personality?

Personality is the bundle of traits and characteristics that define us. Swiss psychologist Max Lüscher, a trailblazer in color psychology, believed colors reveal our traits and underlying causes of psychological stress. In his footsteps, other psychologists developed theories about the connection between color and personality. Today, it is believed that color personality reflects our conscious motives, drives and values.

Some think that understanding the link between your color personality and the events in your life can help you make better decisions. You may also understand why you act certain ways and why you have been unsuccessful in your attempts at certain goals or relationships.

Getting Bonafide Lüscher Results

The Lüscher-Color Diagnostic has been used in clinical settings since 1949. Available at colortest.ue-foundation.org, there are two versions of the test. The quick version is free, takes about five minutes and will produce instant results. The complete version must be ordered for $60. After submitting it, you will receive a five-page in-depth analysis from Dr. Max Lüscher himself.

Both tests work on the same principle. You will be given color choices that you rank from your favorite to your least favorite. When you complete the test, your choices are used to measure 34 conscious and subconscious personality traits using 5,015 precise definitions.

The diagnostic focuses on eight colors; four are primary and four are auxiliary.

According to Dr. Lüscher, your favorite color represents something that you are turning toward, or your preferred method of achieving. The last two colors you choose, your least favorites, represent needs which are repressed. The lower you rank the primary colors, which represent psychological needs, the more indication exists of psychological or physiological problems.

The general characteristic of each color follows.

*Blue represents tranquility, tenderness, sensitivity, love and affection.

*Green represents persistence, self-esteem, possessiveness and obstinacy.

*Red represents desire, domination, sexuality and aggression.

*Yellow represents spontaneity, originality, expectancy and exhilaration.

*Violet represents a search for reality in thoughts and desires.

*Brown represents bodily senses relating to physical and mental comfort.

*Black represents ultimate renunciation and expression of nothingness.

*Grey represents refusal to be involved or to reveal things.

Color Personality and Sex

What you like and whether you are sexually compatible with your partner can be determined by your sexual personality color. Sexual color tests are available online at sites such as TestsTestsTests.com. However, according to color psychology work at the Russian Information Network, the color that dominates your wardrobe and home décor reveals your sexuality.

Below are connections psychologists have found between color and sexual behavior:

*People with white personalities do not view sex as fun. They believe sex is filthy. It is highly unlikely that they will enjoy sex during the day or want to be seen naked.

*People with black personalities like extreme and oftentimes perverted sex. They are likely to be sadistic or masochistic. They tend to become more vigorous when they are experiencing problems or inner turmoil.

*Red people are ravaging lovers. They thoroughly enjoy a full range of sexual activities and are easily aroused.

Red people are aggressive and erotic. They sexually dominate many other colors.

*Blue people are good sex partners. They are affectionate and sensitive. They are exciting without being aggressive. They enjoy foreplay and time after sex. Furthermore, they tend to be faithful.

*Pink people are sexually misleading. They are flirtatious and are likely to talk a different game than they will play.

*Brown lovers are warm. They indulge the needs and desires of their partners. They thoroughly enjoy sex but with emotional strings. These people tend to connect romantic activities to their arousal.

*Green people maintain sexual innocence. Green people rarely cheat. They are sensitive and gentle, but those are their dominant sexual traits.

*Purple lovers are preoccupied with themselves. Women are likely to have trivial concerns such as their hair. These people rarely concern themselves with others’ fulfillment.
