the colours colour personalities

 

Yellow

Yellow is the strongest colour psychologically and is emotionally stimulating. The colour of sunshine it is associated with our self-esteem and is the light of our individuality, our ego; it is confident and wants to be seen. Yellow is optimistic – it lifts our spirits.

 

When there is too much yellow or the wrong tone of it used, it can lead to uncomfortable feelings of fear and anxiety.  It can mean that we don’t feel confident in our own abilities or ‘yellow bellied’ and indicate lack of self-esteem.

 

Green

Green represents harmony and balance. Related to nature it reassures us and helps us to feel comfortable and centred, to trust that we are in the right place at the right time and helping us to find our own pace.

 

Too much green or incorrectly used can indicate stagnation or boredom, when we may have difficulty making changes. Attempting to balance all the options may mean that we can’t choose one over the others and we stay in one place longer than we need to.
