Tell your friends
The color of the clothes a person wears can tell about the character of a person. When we buy clothes, we subconsciously choose the color that we like most. To prove this, look at your wardrobe, in one way or another, one color dominates.
Correctly interpret the color of a person’s clothes, the Lusher test will help. According to this test, colors are divided into main and dependent. The main color will tell about the character of a person, and the dependent one will emphasize his mood. Therefore, for a more accurate assessment, you should choose two colors that dominate the entire wardrobe of a person.
Before you begin to analyze the personality of a person by the color of their clothes, it is necessary to learn another important information. All colors can conditionally be divided into two groups: bright and dark. A group of bright colors - shows the positive qualities of a person's character. A group of dark colors - shows the negative side of a person’s character or reflects his psychological problems.
Interpretation of clothing color by groups:
Bright colors of clothes:
Red - people with a predominance of red in clothes are physically active and aimed at achieving success. They love to communicate and appreciate the attention to their person.
Yellow - this color of clothes prevails among people who seek to imagine life like a fairy tale. That is, they are far from reality, living dreams. They are very friendly and sociable.
Green - people who prefer green in clothes, are self-confident and persistent. In their behavior, the need for self-affirmation is felt. Communicating with such people is not easy.
Blue - This color of clothes is preferred by calm people, whose main goal is stability and confidence in the future. They are simple in communication, value friendship.
Dark colors of clothing:
Violet - if this color prevails in a person’s clothes, then be sure that his behavior is not natural. Such people want to be strong natures, copying the behavior of authoritative personalities. They try to draw attention to themselves, by all means, in order to get approval. Communication with such people is difficult to build, since their behavior is not true.
Brown - This color of clothing shows that its carrier strives to find a comfort zone. Such people do not like to spend a lot of energy, because they feel constant weakness. In communication, they are boring and do not show vivid emotions.
The black - this color of clothes, says only that the character of his carrier is dominated by dissatisfaction with everything that happens. Such people are very conflicted. Communication with them is very complicated.
Gray - carriers of this color of clothing, I would describe as undecided personalities. On the one hand, they want to draw attention to themselves, and on the other, they try their best to avoid this attention. In communication, they are also not constant, it all depends on the position that they have chosen.
The combination of colors of clothes reveals more detailed information about a person. For example, a combination of a group of bright colors suggests that a person seeks happiness and mutually beneficial cooperation. A combination of a group of dark colors shows that a person has problems that prevent him from realizing himself. It is also possible a combination of bright and dark colors, and vice versa, this reveals the personality of a person from the position of the color that dominates. For example, a combination of red and gray color indicates that a person experiences a feeling of dissatisfaction and his actions are risky.
Each of us has a favorite color. Psychologists say that love for one color or another is determined by psychological traits of personality. Classification of flower lovers.

People who love his people of action - they do not think - they need the fulfillment of desires immediately. In fact, they are like a child's drawing of momentary gratification. If you like it, then go, otherwise it is better to refrain.
Orange
Of course, orange is not as straightforward as red. It is not so common. What does he mean for those who choose him. Orange is more sensual. Orange contains a shade of red and therefore beckons with excellence, health and at the same time it is soft. Orange is the color of incipient arousal, emotional reactions and internal magnetism. And yet, orange is close to gold, the color of success and wealth.
He who loves orange lives by feelings, is capable of inner experiences, and with it one can comprehend the path to success. If your favorite is orange, then you cannot turn off when it comes to passion. These are all good things, but it cannot be ruled out that among lovers of orange color there will be fakes.
It is the color of the sun, vitality, power and ego ... but there is no romance in it. Celebrated among lovers of egocentrics, lovers of "me first" without noticing other colors of the rainbow.

The main essence of the lover of this color is the man of love (it is no coincidence that our money is the same color). Green is the color of life and abundance - grass, leaves, plants: this is all that grows, expands and lives. So why on Valentine's Day do not give a green fern instead of roses. Because the green color is the color of growth, humanistic love and appreciation, and not a novel of animal passion. Moreover, the color is green, the color of a good person, a person who does good and wants good. This is a man with a warm heart. The passion of this person is hidden inside under his integrity and honor.
If you love green, then you put good before good, but instead try to be a little more selfish.
Blue is the color of clarity, sociability, and charm. And regardless of the shades, this color says: "I like to be clear." When attacking, with tension, a blue person can send you mixed signs that indicate the inconsistency of thought or space in communication.
If blue is your favorite color, then it’s more difficult for you to express in words and is easier to express with gestures. And if you are meeting with a lover of blue, then you should always remember who is standing in front of you.
Violet
Violet color evokes the energy of illusions, imagination and fantasy. Violet, as a rule, inspires indecision, romance, flirtation. People choosing this color like to tease, which is equivalent to playfulness. Violet gives rise to unrealistic expectations. Some purple lovers find it easier to live in a fantasy world than in the real world.
If you are a lover of purple, then you can be either creatively romantic or imaginary romantic.
White is a combination of all colors. It symbolizes purity and spirituality. True, there is simplicity too.
Lovers of white, probably people are clean and decent. White is not sexy and it's not bad.
Like white, black is a combination of all others, but instead of purity, it represents the unknown, the invisible - the mysterious. Black color mainly hides information.

Color psychology

The color palette of the rainbow carries the color of the seven major planets of the solar system. It was believed that the planets affect the human psyche and divide people according to their social status.
With trepidation, our ancestors spoke of red. This is the color of anxiety, aggression and, conversely, beauty and love. Here is a contradiction.
- White color is associated with purity, truth, spiritual simplicity, triumph and greatness. It can absorb all other colors, therefore it is associated with death, respectively, it is the color of mourning.
- In grief, mourning, misfortune, people wore black clothes. In addition, it is the color of vicious love passion.
- Yellow clothing gives a person a noble person, wealth.
- Eternity, chastity, and nobility are associated with blue. It is enough to recall the expression “blue blood”. And this is also the color of sadness, the color of the world of demons.
Youth, fun are associated with green. Its impact is twofold: calm and depressing ("longing green"). Thus, the color scheme surrounding a person in objects, clothing, can talk about mental and emotional state.
In addition, psychologists say that color symbolism is very widely used in modern life. Take at least advertising. Appropriate use of flowers can help sell a product profitably. Conversely, the wrong combination of colors will cause a negative consumer.
A certain color scheme used by a person can tell what his character and his emotional sphere are. In this case, psychologists use the color test and claim the following: a lot of red - the subject is trusting, but somewhat aggressive; yellow - friendly, but internally tense; blue-green shades speak of shyness; light blue - about laziness.
Psychologists argue that the emotional state of a person is directly related to his preferred colors. So, the state of fun is emphasized by energy-saturated colors (yellow and red). If a person is to blame for something, gray and blue colors; at risk are green and yellow.
Directly connected with color and performance. Therefore, if the employer is interested in a good, friendly team, then he will choose the right color scheme for his office.
The influence of color on human life is one of the most interesting questions that psychologists deal with.
