What your favorite color says about you (and more!)
We all have favorite colors, but have you ever wondered what your favorite color says about you? Color psychology is a relatively new field of study that investigates how different colors influence our behaviors, attitudes, and outlooks. With that said, we did a little research and we’re here to share how your favorite color may reflect different aspects of your personality, chakra alignment, and even how you interact in relationships. Remember that some of this will resonate and some won’t, so take what relates and leave the rest.
Black
How it makes us feel.
It is often said that black is a mixture of all colors. Black is known to evoke feelings of power, control, authority, discipline, and elegance. It also symbolizes privacy and is used to radiate authority, create an element of mystery, and embody strength, stability, and groundedness. Black is known to be a sophisticated color that embodies style and uncompromising quality.
What it says about you.
Black is also associated with death and rebirth, which may also mean that you are clear and direct when making decisions and closing one chapter to begin another. Negative associations with the color black are that it may symbolize the darkness of spirit, oppression, and heaviness.
Chakras and zodiacs.
Black is often linked to the sign of Scorpio, as they are known to have a dark and mysterious element to them.
While the root chakra is red, some also say that if black had to be linked to a chakra it would be the root chakra.
Blue
How it makes us feel.
Blue is the color of the sky on a sunny day, likewise, it makes us feel a sense of freedom, self-expression trustworthiness, joy, and knowledge. Blue may be used to inspire a sense of trust, stimulate productivity, and give a suggestion of accuracy and precision. Blue tends to inspire reflection while making us feel an element of safety and confidence in ourselves and our environment.

People whose favorite color is blue are said to value truth and peace. As it is associated with the throat chakra (see below) it is often said that individuals who like blue have the tendency to “speak the truth in love.” These individuals are reliable, encouraging, confident, and fairly even-tempered (at least when their life is in balance). Some negative associations for individuals who identify with the color blue include being cold, aloof, or having a lack of emotion.
Chakras and zodiacs.
Blue is associated with the throat chakra. When in alignment, we are able to communicate clearly, confidently, and freely. When the throat chakra is out of alignment, we may have issues of self-expression, communication, or even issues associated with oral or dental health.
As far as the signs go, blue is associated with the sign of Aquarius. This comes as no surprise as Aquarius is known as the water bearer.
