How Your Choice of Colors Reflects You

We often refer to the perception we create about ourselves as our "personal image." Our image comprises our appearance, communication style, body language, demeanor, culture, and knowledge.

This perception labels us in people's minds and influences their decisions about us. Undoubtedly, our appearance plays the most significant role in this process.

Do you know how the color choices in your clothing and accessories affect the personal image you create?

Which color supports what perception?

Yellow: Creates a positive impact

The color "yellow," known as the color of the sun, creates a positive impact with its energy. When wearing this color, you support your "analytical and logical" appearance, stimulating your mind and enhancing a rational perspective.

However, it's good to remember that when combined with black, it sends a "keep your distance" message.

Orange: A color that stimulates action

"Orange," one of the colors that best reflects the cheerful child within us, is a color that stimulates action. When you wear this color or use it in your accessories, you create a pleasant, high-energy, and fun image.

Red: The color of power

When you choose the color of "red," the color of passion and power, it's impossible not to be noticed. Avoiding this color in situations where you are not confident is a wise choice since you may be perceived as "assertive" from the outside. Otherwise, you might find yourself cornered with probing questions. When you want to leave a strong impression, choose the right shade of red for yourself.

Purple: Creates an inspiring effect

"Purple," considered a symbol of nobility and wealth in the Eastern Roman Empire, has a soothing effect. With its association with royalty in ancient times, choosing this color creates a "confident and inspiring" effect.

Pink: Comfortable and cheerful

The color "pink," which has a positive effect, supports the perception of being perceived as "comfortable and cheerful" from the outside. By wearing a suitable shade of pink during gatherings with friends or activities with your colleagues at work, you can become the sought-after person in the group.

Green: The color of balance

The color "green," which covers us with peace in nature, is the color of balance. It supports a "conciliatory" appearance, especially in environments with high tension or with tense individuals. It also balances the redness in the skin, making it the best color to enhance the complexion.

Blue: The color of trust

The relaxing color of the sky and the endless seas, "blue," is the color of trust. When you use this color in your clothing and accessories, you support your "meticulous and trustworthy" perception. For example, when attending a business meeting or listening to a client during consultancy, you can use blue to support your positive image.

Grey: A neutral color

"Grey," a neutral color with no standalone effect, can be perceived as "ineffective" when worn alone. It's essential to remember this "ineffectiveness" when using grey on its own. For instance, wearing a grey dress to a meeting might not be surprising to hear the question, "Were you even there?" If you want to remain unnoticed, "I don't want anyone to notice me," you can benefit from the effect of the color grey.

White: Radiates freshness

The color of cleanliness, "white," though it doesn't create a standalone effect, radiates freshness. When you wear white, the colors of the accessories you use or the other pieces in your outfit will have a more significant impact on your image.

Black: Supports a distant and serious perception

The color of nobility and luxury, black, may be the most commonly used color in clothing and accessories. It supports a perception of "distance" and "seriousness." It's wise to avoid black if you want to create an intimate image.
