What is the colour of your personality? Colour Moderates
It's not a surprise if you entered this category as well as half the population. Colour moderates are very careful about choice of colour. They want to feel safe, that is why they buy new colours only being sure that they will be in fashion next season. Spending their money on something they must be sure that the new item is worth it, and they will not have to get rid it.
They don't want to be at the front hedge of fashion, however, they believe that colour brings spice in their life. They are interested in new trends and often look through fashion magazines. But they are more interested in stable proved trends.
Occasionally you may see a colour moderate wearing the same colours as leader, but those colours are very likely to have appeared in his or her wardrobe recently, while a colour leader is about to forget them. Often trying a new colour a moderate brings it into use carefully, step by step. Once he or she determines to try new accessories he or she combines new colours with traditional customary ones.
A colour moderate person is ready to change but they do it carefully and slowly. Usually they are practical and well informed people. They want the changes to be functional and useful during the long period of time. They are very attentive and prefer more gentle hues of a new colour. Impulsiveness doesn't reside on the moderate person's character. But they are not also inclined to stay in shadow. Though the idea of renovation of the wardrobe or the house doesn't inspire them, still time after time they can try even some critical changes.
Both men and women can be colour moderates. As a rule middle-class people represent this type of colour personality.
Colour Neutrals
The only way to make a neutral change his or her favourite colour is to put a gun against his or her head. And maybe, with the tears in the eyes, moaning and groaning he or she will agree to try something new. For this kind of people only the one and for all chosen values exist, including colour values. They are not inclined to changes. These people have determined their own likes and dislikes long ago, and adhere to their own style. If their favourite blue blazer has been worn out, they will go and buy a new one but of a blue colour again. Moreover, they will do their best to find the very same hue, and if they fail they will bitterly regret it. They are faithful and loyal adherents of things they like. These people are sure that new things won't look as good on them as the things they have chosen long ago. Even if they do keep up with fashion, they never aim to be at its front edge.
Remember men in blue jackets, dark-gray trousers, blue or white shirts and ties; if there is some red colour, then only the most decent and moderate amount of it. Remember women in black (ten years ago they didn't wear this colour, for it was considered to be the latest fashion, but when the black became quite 'safe', they became its staunch adherents). And now imagine those people on dark-brown couches in traditionally furnished drawing rooms. These men and women are likely to drive back cars. So, here we have the portrait of a typical neutral. |
