Day 11: The Color Purple


The last few blogs I wrote have been a little heavy, so I thought I would break it up and write something about my favorite color.

Ever wonder about your personality behind your favorite color?  Why do you like the color you like?  For some psychologist and sociologist, color says a lot about a person and a society.

For instance, the royalty of China is always red and yellow.  For Great Britain, it's purple... I think.

But for an individual, color says a lot about the person.  I don't think I really honed in on a color until middle school.  I think for myself, I always want to have a healthy balance of different colors in my wardrobe or items I have around the house.  But usually, a good majority of my clothing have some shade of purple, violet, or lavender.

Why do I like purple?

  1. Deep mood.  When I was much younger, although I may appear to be a happy-go-lucky kind of girl, deep down I can be a bit melancholy.  I've learned to suppress it a lot more in recent years, knowing that not all people like a downer.
  2. Royalty.  I think there wasn't anything that told me that this color mean royalty.  I just knew it's royalty.  (Princess status.)
  3. It's pretty.  I guess that's self-explanatory.  At least I think it's pretty.  :)

From many personality descriptions of purple, here are a few common things I found out about my color:

  • Spiritual
  • Moody/Calming
  • Creative
  • Intuitive
  • Dreamer/Visionary

I think most of these descriptions fit me fine.  I can totally relate to all of the items in bullets.
