Color symbolism and the meaning of colors

Personality types and color meaning

Color symbolism fills a part of our everyday lives, whether we are aware of it or not. We all have some colors we like better than others, and luckily there are so many colors that there is enough for all of us. Whether the meaning of colors is important? It probably depends on the situation. Are you looking for colors for your walls at home, or are you looking for posters and pictures for the wall, then color does not matter. Unless it's something you go up in.

But you know that colors can affect people differently, so you work in some contexts, a lot with color symbolism and the meaning of colors. For example, one works in prisons with colors that have soothing abilities.

By the way, we meet color symbolism and color meaning every day. You have no doubt that red means stop and green means drive or continue. Blue stands for safe, conservative and serious, which is why many large companies and corporations use blue in their logos. Just think of Danske Bank, Novo Nordisk or Facebook.

So, in fact, science underlies the importance of colors when the colors are used in design, decor, and art. There is probably not much science behind when color symbolism is linked to personality types. However, there seems to be some agreement on the assignment of human qualities to the different colors.

Below we have tried to gather the most common perceptions of color meaning by reviewing which colors are associated with a particular personality.
