Watch this video until the end to find out more.

Hey, Psych2Goers, and welcome back to another video.

Thank you so much for all of the love and support

that you've given us,

enabling us to make yet another exploration

into everyday psychology.

Today let's delve into the colorful world

of color psychology.

Let's begin.

What is your favorite color?

This is a question that tops your childhood FAQs, right?

The uniqueness of each human's mind

makes it almost impossible to have a set of rules

that applies to everyone's choice.

Preferences you might have

can be linked to your overall behavior.

But did you know the characteristics of your personality

can be based on what your favorite color is?

Here are your favorites

and what they say about your personality.

One, black.

Black is a color to be taken seriously.

People whose favorite color is black

look for power and control.

According to a study in 2018,

they are perceived as serious, almost intimidating.

You wanna be seen by your internal qualities

rather than your outward appearance

by wearing black clothing.

It personifies your independent and mysterious nature

as stated in a study by PAC in 2020.

If your favorite color is black,

others view you as a private person

who masks their emotions.

You only share your thoughts and feelings

with close friends and relative.

Two, white.

Pet claims that the color white has a close relation

with purity, birth, and innocence.

The study by Meyers in 2018

found people who favor white are very organized,

independent, and logical in the way they solve problems.

You are known to be optimistic

and focused on the bright side of life.

You strive to find peace,

but might come off as uptight and self-righteous

which results in decreased popularity

within your circle of friends.

Your nature can be condescending at times,

which does more harm than good, oopsy-daisy!

Three, red.

The color red is closely related to passion,

desire, and aggression.

Uh! You are outgoing and adventurous.

You enjoy being the center of attention

and have very intense feelings.

You are not afraid of letting others know

about your feelings, whether they're good or...

(clears throat) bad.

Speak less do more is your motto.

And you have a very action-oriented style in life.

As a natural born leader,

you are respected by people easily.

Four, blue.

The color blue symbolizes peace and tranquility,

and is the most popular color.

If your favorite color is blue,

you are reliable, calm, and loyal.

Your level headedness allows you to operate under pressure.

Finding inner peace and absolute truth

is of the essence of you.

You live life according to your ideals and beliefs.

A study by Meyers in 2018 states

that you find fulfillment in being of service

by thinking about others

and putting their needs before your own.

But a word of caution according to the study,

self-destructive behavior can be developed

when you find expectations

and outperforming yourself too hard to handle.

Five, green.

Is green your favorite color?

If so, you have strong time management skills

due to your ability to quickly prioritize.

You are open-minded and curious.

Always looking to learn new things

and to become more knowledgeable.

They stand their ground on their opinions

and do not believe anyone or anything easily.

However, if they do, they will do it very strongly.

The study states that the color green represents nature,

good luck, and fertility.

On the other hand, it also represents jealousy and greed.

People whose favorite color is green

consider their reputation

than the way society perceives them as very important

and lead an active public life.

Six, yellow.

Does the word yellow bring to mind,

the sun on a summer afternoon,

or maybe that egg yolk on your plate

during breakfast on your favorite holiday?

Yellow is the color of happiness, sunshine, and laughter.

When your favorite color is yellow,

you love to share with others

but also have a focus on expressing your individuality.

You are very lighthearted and have a very positive outlook

but tend to go overboard with your optimism.

Whoops, you are seldom sad.

When it happens, you can be in that mood for several days.

A study found such people are spontaneous

and willing to take action,

giving them an advantage over people who are indecisive.

Seven, orange.

Would you describe yourself as highly productive?

Do you like to work and get things done fast?

Chances are your favorite color must be orange then, right?

This color represents energy, warmth and enthusiasm.

It gives you a party-like vibe, doesn't it?

People whose favorite color is orange like to socialize.

You aim to be accepted and respected

in a group of people.

Just like people who favor yellow, you are very optimistic,

always expecting wonderful things to happen.

You have a black and white perspective on life.

Either going after something with everything you have

or not going after it at all.

Eight, purple.

Do you remember the color

of Rapunzel's royal flag entangled?

Purple is the color associated with power, royalty,

spirituality and prestige.

Because back in the day,

only monarchs and nobility could afford purple clothing.

So yeah, you guessed it right,

the color of the flag entangled was also purple.

People whose favorite colors purple are helpful to others,

but requires emotional security in their lives.

You are creative and love unique things,

wanting to stand out from the group,

known as unpredictable,

dealing with you can be either very easy

or extremely difficult.

Having a balance of both charisma and cool exterior

makes climbing to the top all the easier.

Nine, pink.

Did you just think of the Pink Panther?

The color pink symbolizes femininity, love, playfulness,

and to a certain extent, immaturity,

claimed a study in 2020.

People whose favorite color is pink

express themselves very well and believe in being loved

and accepted unconditionally.

You prioritize love, family, and kindness

above everything else.

You are very compassionate to those closest to you

and are very dependable when others need emotional support.

This color is the most calming and sedative one,

which is why some institutes paint their walls pink

to reduce aggression.

10, gray.

Gray is associated with balance,

being neither dark nor light.

People whose favorite color is gray

usually prefer not to be the center of attention.

You are known as very mature,

but are difficult to characterize

due to the nature of the color.

Your taste is very modern and sophisticated.

You are naturally fair and can see problems objectively

without letting personal feelings affect the decisions made.

And 11, brown.

Is your favorite color

the same color as chocolate and coffee?

Brown like green, is a color connected to life, growth,

and the color of the earth.

Brown in color psychology is a color of reliability,

loyalty, and sincerity.

It relates to maturity and being sensible.

So if you're into brown, you're down to earth, practical,

straight-talking and always to the point.

Not only that, you have a keen sense of duty

and responsibility,

you take your obligations very seriously.

Your family and friends are extremely important to you

and you like physical comfort, simplicity and quality.
