About This Quiz

Color theorists have long believed that colors carry certain traits, and they might be on to something. When you see the color red, do you think of a stop sign or danger? How about blue? Does that make you think of calm water? No matter what comes to mind when you run through the color wheel, there's one color that will always stand out to you because you identify with it. Do you know which one it is?

Instead of asking you about your favorite colors and what they mean to you, this quiz is going to take a different approach. It's been our experience that you learn more about someone by seeing how they respond to something they are not expecting. As you go through your random questions, don't be afraid to be honest. You wouldn't want to get a result of magnetic magenta if you feel closer to charcoal gray, would you?

No matter what answer you choose, you'll give something about yourself away. Even if you don't think there's a color that you feel a kindred bond with, you'll be surprised! Everyone has a color that helps lift their spirits and motivates them. Which color is the color that does it for you?
