I’ve found it to be pretty accurate for me, and would be curious to hear what you think.
My favorite color is purple. ALL of the descriptions for purple deeply resonate with me – well, except free-spirited. Maybe I don’t understand her meaning of the term, as to me it seems to contradict needing security and order. But all the others are spot-on.
What about you? Check your favorite color and leave a comment.

Hei, very nice and i love to do personality testing especially in colours. My favorite colours are all red and yellow tones for it is warm colours
Anonymous says
My fav colour is white and during this tough time plus the family issues and drama going on in my life, I truly am looking to simplify my life like the quiz says. Everything else the quiz says is true about me….. I am the one being most affected, even though I’m keeping a positive vibe and hoping for it all to work out…. I really just need time to myself to relax, unwind and hope for the best.
Tabytha says

Theo Benschop says
Dear Louis Myers, Thank you so much for being 100% accurate!
I,
just an avarage nit-wit with maybe three or four braincells,
who happens to have a dream,
who happens to be in the happiness is a warm gun a fan of yoko ono,
the plastic ono band,
John Ono Winston Lennon, R.I.P.
and the FAB 4,
so The Beatles,
am indeed a yellow personality:
I worship indeed Freedom! Merdeka!, the free moonlight, the free sun light in the free blue sky, that means that I am every brand new day in the history of mankind indeed cheerful, rise and shine, watch out the bugs don’t bite, fun to be with and full of ideas of how to survive in the happiness is a warm gun the not yellow personalities without dangerous weapons.
This said. However.
As there are in any given here and now no problems without a solution , is it just impossible that the deepest need of a average yellow personality would be for one second to find logical order in one’s everyday life!
Which is good news, as nobody should never ever willing to be 100% accurate all the time!
Louise Myers says
🙂
Cierra M Foster says
Turquoise is 100% me, though teal is my favorite color that was the closest. This is awesome!!!
Louise Myers says
Glad you enjoyed it!
Billroy Δ says
i like yellow and black
not 100% accurate considering my personality is rather “jumpy”
i like yellow because it is believe it or not considered an unlucky color, it also reminds me of chaos and instability for some reason, both of which i enjoy
i don’t know why but disorder seems so fun, wouldn’t it be great if we could break the laws of gravity
goodbye rules
lets just pray i don’t cause WWIII
Louise Myers says
No worries 🙂
Brenden Anderson says
What if you are color blind?
Louise Myers says
I suppose this would infer the personality of the color as you see it, i.e. if you see red as brown, then you would have affinity with the brown personality.
Not sure, but that’s my guess.

Sherry Gay Bates says
I am 4 colors different yet the same. My colors are Red, Magenta, Silver and Gold Like I said different yet the same. I love ❤️ being around people . I love ❤️ to draw and paint adore making my yard beautiful. I have had a gift since I was very young and I am very spiritual. I strive to be the best I can be and people seem to be drawn to me and I love ❤️ making new friends. This is who I am and have always been this way. Thanks for sharing it explains a lot to me that I’ve wondered about
Louise Myers says
That’s very cool, Sherry! Thanks for letting us know.
Penelope says
Yeah, mine’s black and yes true but I’m beyond creepy you should note that.
Adrienne says
100% accurate ?
??? PINK ???
Louise Myers says
Very cool.
Thomasina says
I love stuff like this! Especially because I have this theory that everything that comes naturally (in some way, not necessarily through nature but just not the product of man) has a deeper meaning and purpose that resonates with us and actually helps us in some way. From stars and horoscopes to numerology and colors and the effects they have on us mentally and emotionally subconsciously. I mean it’s fascinating when you really stop to consider it all. Some grand design. Of course it’s pretty mind blowing and slightly reminiscent of a smokey college dorm room conversation. But incredibly interesting. And in my opinion, incredibly for real.
And this article proves it.
Amazing.
Unfortunately I’ve always had a really hard time answering the question of “what is your favorite color”. I’ve pondered for hours at times and can’t decide. I’ve never had just one. For me it’s a cooling vibe I get from the colors I love and I love them all equally.
Mine are black, cool shades of blue and purple, pink and hot pink, white, turquoise and silver.
I know. But seriously, they all make up my wardrobe, my apartment, my decor. I love them.
So does that mean I read the response for each color I love and take from it what I can?
I’m not sure how it works when you can’t pick one overall fave.
Sorry for this novel here.
But I loved the article. I loved the detailed readings for each color. And most of all I loved that you actually have knowledge in this field, that this is something that intrigues you and you have researched and studied the subject versus just having come across some commercial posting on social media and colors and their personalities and decided to share it with us. Nothing wrong with the latter but I just respect and enjoy the first so much more. Because this is such a fascinating topic.
Louise Myers says
Hi Thomasina,
Enjoyed reading your comment. We have a lot of similar color loves.
I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not a color expert. There were several studies done (not by me) and they’re listed on the graphic and in the article. Major studies, yet we still have nay-sayers on this topic 😉
I’m glad you enjoyed the info, and I’m sorry that I don’t have an answer to your question. Take care.
Carmen Spang says
Purple! Purple! Purple! And the info was spot on for me. Thanks you so much!
Louise Myers says
Yay for purple! Glad you liked it, Carmen.
Shugg says
My favorite color is red. I’m not sure what the author means by “physical achievement”. Do they mean material achievements, perhaps?
Louise Myers says
Not sure, I would guess they mean athletic.
Zara says
I love colours. All of them. Favourites are yellow, orange and turquoise mostly yellow. Spot on with that.
Thanks Louise
Louise Myers says
Beautiful! What a happy color choice.
Sophia says
Hi Ms Louise. My classmates loved it. It was very accurate. Thank You. My favourite colours are pink, purple and magenta. I’m a bit of all those three. Can you make more descriptions of those three, please? I really want to go deep to my favourite colours to know which one suits me the most. Thanks a lot.
Louise Myers says
Hi Sophia,
I will be delving into each color more over the next many months. It will take a bit of time to get to them all! Hope you hang in there.
Kat says
While red is my favorite colour it’s not completely accurate in it’s analysis; confidence is a struggling point after years of anxiety and I am rather introverted as opposed to extroverted. Red, to me at least, is attractive due to the passion it represents, it’s a bold authoritative colour that represents everything from war to love. I do have friends, however that coincide with this fairly accurately .
Louise Myers says
Sounds like it’s what you aspire to be, maybe.
Gayle says
Each of the colors that I love so much and choose in everything from clothing to items I own. They all was very accurate about my personality. Which is amazing. It was funny just to see. Thanks for the post.
Louise Myers says
That’s neat. Glad you enjoyed it!
Gabry says
Blue, indigo and violet for me. The description is very accurated for me. I’m very glad for your work, Louise. Tks!?
Louise Myers says
You are welcome, Gabry!
Thedore Nwangene says
