COLORS


Please participate in the anonymous poll at right – related to today’s blog.

There's a forecast out there that yellow will be the influential color of 2009. I have no clue what that means but PANTONE, which provides color standards to design industries, specifically cites "mimosa," a vibrant shade of yellow as the top shade of the new year. That mug on the right is 'mimosa.' According to PANTONE, “it's connected to warmth, sunshine and cheer — all things we're in dire need of right now."
Favorite colors have long been treated almost like personality evaluations - associated with inner drive and qualities.

So – just for fun – I’m not basing my religion or faith on this – it’s JUST … FOR … FUN – and maybe a little insight. So, I’m wondering what your favorite COLOR is. Select a color in the poll at right. Start there. Maybe you’ll collect some interesting data on yourself from your choice.

RED – viewed as an exciting, dramatic color. Red also has a passionate feel. Characteristics of those who like RED are enthusiasm, energy, attention-getting, power, warmth, drama and strength.

ORANGE – gives off cheerfulness, boldness and excitement. Orange-lovers have a friendly, informal approach, as well as brilliance, spontaneity, robustness, joy, adventuresome spirit, daring and flamboyance.

YELLOW – the most visible color — trends are optimism, happiness, intelligence, cheerfulness, wisdom and expressiveness.

GREEN – nature’s favorite color (and mine as well, by the way). People who love green are thought to be soothing, versatile, peaceful, renewing, secure, tranquil, harmonious, flexible and restful.

BLUEAmerica’s favorite color. Think serenity, openness, trustworthiness, dependability, committed and calming,

PURPLEwealth, pageantry, refined, uplifting, respected and humble.

BROWN – the most common associations are informality, comfortability, organic, stable, earthy, reliable, approachable and wholesome.

WHITE – the obvious – purity and cleanliness along with neutrality and freshness.

BLACK – those who love black are thought to be authoritative, powerful, mysterious, dignified and sophisticated.

By the way, BLUE – more specifically – BLUE IRIS, a purple-tinged blue, was the 2008 color of the year.

What did you find out about yourself? Anything?! Did you vote in the poll?
And be blessed.

Hmmm...the characteristics for someone who likes green don't exactly sound like you. Do you think they do?

How astute of you. No, they don't sound like me at all. They're the me I WISH I was, perhaps. Well - like I said - it's just for fun. I don't put much stock in it, frankly.

You seem more like an orange or red to me. More outgoing and cheerful. My favorite color is blue.

Actually, you sound a lot like a yellow...intelligent and wise and cheerful. I know it's just for fun, though. Those are some of the things I see in you.

I voted red...no surprise there I suppose! Have you ever seen Curious George the movie? That's how they got the guy to buy his yellow suit, "yellow is the new khaki!" Hmmmmmmmm. Lol.
