Does colour affect your emotions?

If I had to choose colours to represent me right now, I would pick black and white. These two colours mean safety and comfort to me. What's more, they're easy to match with other colours. I do agree that colour reflects one's emotions. If I'm happy, I'll pick up a piece of red clothing. But I don't think colour has anything to do with energy. I don't feel more energetic when I wear bright colours.

Although some people say colour reflects your feelings or personality, I don't believe that. To me, colour is all about fashion. White is my favourite because it's easy to match. When I'm hurrying to leave home, I just put on a white top and randomly pick a skirt, pair of jeans or shorts. I don't like black and I never wear black clothing. It's too dark and boring.

I like pink. Most people think it's a girly colour, but I think nowadays more guys wear it. I think pink t-shirts make people look refined and cultured. But I also pick what to wear based on how I feel and what season it is. If I feel good, I choose colourful clothing. White is often my choice in summer while I like to wear coloured clothing in boring winter. Besides reflecting emotions, colours can also influence how you feel. For example, I feel gloomy if I walk into a grey room.

Royal blue is the best colour to describe my feelings right now - happy and uplifting, as it's the summer holidays and I'm enjoying time with my friends. It's said that colours represent emotions: red means passion while black suggests gloominess. To me, royal blue means brightness and openness. It has an almost magical effect on me. But for daily outfits, I tend to think about where I'm going before picking the colours. I like yellow least. I think it is too sharp and it hurts my eyes.

I like many different colours. It all depends on how I feel. Grey is generic and it can suit any situation. I pick grey clothes when I don't want to draw people's attention. Black is cool, fashionable and mature. I wear black for serious occasions. White makes people look young and energetic. I dress in white if I do outdoor activities. But I like silver best. It is shiny and elegant.
