What's Your Colour?

And yet another half a month has flown by.
Well, just a quick thought for today.

If you were a colour, what would you be?

I have to figure out a study table desktop colour because being me, the plain old whites, greys and browns don't really appeal.
So i was torn between purple and orange (naturally, right? :S)

And then i thought, well, what is a ME colour? And then i thought, well, what is anybody's colour?
I don't really know how to describe it but i guess how i'd imagine it is if you could ascribe colours to moods and you could ascribe general moods to people then I guess you get their colour?

*Gasp* Is this where we subconsciously got our notions of colour from?

I can imagine large office blocks that are in shades of muted blue and grey.
Batik shop owners would probably burst out in bold greens and bright reds.
And high school girls would fluctuate between studious yellows (why yellow? just a feeling) and cheerleader pinks.

And, just because it exists, i also decided to take this online colour test (put on by a paint company, naturally)



You boast incredible willpower and are capable of overcoming obstacles that would normally leave others shaking in their boots. You have a penchant for colorful environments and often impress others with your energetic bursts of energy. Your interests in many areas of life often leave you scattered, but when you focus you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.


I agree with the penchant for colourful environments and scattered interests in life, but that willpower thing hasn't shone through in the gym. But you know, that's probably just a practice in stereotyping. People are definitely more multi-faceted than colour designation (or for that matter astrology) gives them credit for.

So i decided that i'm red when i'm having a night out, lavender when i feel like a quieter, contemplation sort of day, orange when i'm joking around, blue when it's raining outside and i get to snuggle up inside (also when at a jazz bar), grey when i'm reading the news (which is often bad), pink when i'm with my girlfriends, green when i feel active and an earthy brown when i'm being domestic and cooking.

But that's just the colours in my head. Alternately, you could just find out what other have to say about it here
, here and here.

Haha... Take it with a pinch of salt though because some of these sites are about the colour of your aura. Which i can't see. (-_-")

I wonder how i'd respond if someone said i had a big aura...

p.s: Veron, you're somewhere on a purply-lavender for me. CC makes me think pink. Damien is a strong yellow/ochre. Kee Hong i think is red (matches his temper). Daniel is a safe brown or blue. Gigi - i haven't decided - either pink or blue.

p.p.s: i hope you all tak tersinggung with my random colour guessings. ;)

I like the colour blue.

But i realise the clothes i wear now tend to be gray/white/black.

Still, I wear my blue/brown ties more often than the others.

Heehee...
see, fish for comments by mentioning names. ;)

So when i think people's colours it tends to be what they wear?! (yeah... i can't imagine damien wearing yellow. but the name damien seems like a golden brown name. haha.. what?)

So daniel's colour comes from his ties, damien's colour comes from his sweaters and gigi just wears lots of pink.

I just thought of eddie. he'd want me to say white cos that's his sneaker colours but i think deep down he is red.

And harvard is minimalise black and white. (classy artsy dude)
