Colors and People
There are three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Certain psychologists have put people who love these colors into different groups.
The group of people who love red are those who have self-confidence enough to be heroes and winners of competitions. The members of this group are optimistic. Red color lovers usually believe that everything will end up the way they have planned. They spend no time feeling sad about errors make or disasters that might happen.
The yellow color is commonly loved by cowardly people. Lovers of yellow get along easily with others because they are afraid of friction and argument. However, in secret, despite their cowardice, they enjoy excitement. They fantasize being lovers of red; only they lack the nerve to make their fantasies come true. They may daydream about being loved by a movie star, or managing millions of dollars. Lovers of yellow tend to betray their friends and loved ones. The reason for their lack of integrity is probably that they prefer lying or cheating to taking a hard stand.
The color blue is loved commonly by sad people who have a low self-esteem, and who probably often suffer from depression. Lovers of blue believe in others rather than themselves. "Mr. X is so much better than I am" is a typical comment made by blue-lovers. One who chooses blue is probably more quiet or shy than one who prefers red or yellow. He is often drawn to sad movies, gloomy philosophies, and sad memories. This group of people would rather follow than lead.
Color psychology can be an interesting field in which to do some studies, but there is no proof to indicate that its findings are reliable.
