What Does Your Favorite Color Say About You?
Ah, orange. Even when it’s fading away on an abandoned boxcar in a South Dakota trainyard, it cheers me to see it. That must mean my favorite color is . . . (Do I have to choose?) orange. Turns out it’s full of meaning about my personality, too:
“If Your Favorite Color is Orange . . .
- “You are warm, optimistic, extroverted and often flamboyant. You are friendly, good-natured and a generally agreeable person.
- “You are assertive and determined rather than aggressive—having a personality color orange means you are more light-hearted and less intense than those who love red.
- “You thrive on human social contact and social gatherings, bringing all types together.”

My favourite colour is green, and I think this is pretty much true:
Your deepest need is to belong, to love and be loved, and to feel safe and secure. You need acceptance and acknowledgement for the everyday things you do for others – just a ‘thank you’ is sufficient.

Purple and periwinkle!
Gotta love periwinkle, if only for its name–but even more for its color. I love it with my favorite color, orange.
Ah, green has always been my FAVORITE color but I love them ALL!
