“There are no comrades for the taste and color,” says the common phrase. Have you ever wondered why this is happening? What is visual perception? What secrets of the human psyche are hidden behind banal color preferences?
Physiology of color perception
The ability to distinguish colors is not inherent in us from birth. A newborn child has contrast vision: he distinguishes between light and dark. The next stage - notices the movement, after - the shape and shape, and lastly begins to distinguish colors.
Getting on the receptors of the eye retina - cones (they are responsible for color and black and white vision) and rods (responsible for black and white vision), color photons cause their excitation and inhibition, thus transmitting information to the brain.
Retinal receptors responsible for color vision (cones) in humans and primates have a certain type of light-sensitive pigment that allows you to distinguish colors:
blue;
red;
green.
Thomas Young, in the early 19th century, experimentally showed that all visible colors of the spectrum can be obtained by mixing these three colors.
The physiology of color perception is connected with the higher and primitive areas of activity of the cerebral cortex. Perceptual functions, distinctions, and the ability to name colors are the results of human development, and not instinctive reactions, therefore, are under the control of higher areas of the cerebral cortex. Primitive areas of the brain control reflex reactions to color (light and dark).
Psychology of color perception
Color perception is biased, since many factors affect the preference for one color or another:
age;
life experience;
profession;
health status;
place and living conditions;
mental condition;
belonging to a certain culture;
brightness, saturation, color change rate;
background color, neighboring objects, illumination.
In each specific situation, whether it is the choice of the color of an outfit, an interior, a car, we are guided by additional factors: whether the outfit will be in harmony with other details of clothing, whether the color of the interior matches the residential purpose of the room, and so on. The choice is completely conditional.
Arguments about which color is better are meaningless, since each individual perceives colors through the prism of his own subjective experience.
To make it clear why this happens, let us turn to the origins of the origin of mankind.
Then two factors were decisive for life on earth: day and night. Light and darkness. At night, the person stopped working vigorous activity, instinctively devoted this time to rest, sleep, recuperation. All processes in the body, in particular, the work of the endocrine glands, slowed down.
The day brought with it the possibility of active actions (producing food,). Metabolism, the work of the glands intensified, the influx of energy pushed for active actions.
Sympathy for a particular color is due to the peculiarities of the brain and the functioning of body systems in a certain period of life.
To make it clear what meaning each color has, which reflects the favor for some colors and the rejection of others, let's turn to the research of the Swiss psychologist Max Luscher.
Luscher color test
Psychologist Max Luscher studied the phenomenon of visual perception for a long time. As a result, data were obtained on the direct relationship of the psychological state of the individual with the most preferred colors. Luscher created a unique method of color diagnostics. It is called the Luscher test.
We'll tell you in in general terms about a simplified, but quite informative, version of the test.
The test is carried out by laying out cards painted in eight different colors according to the principle of decreasing liking for colors. The cards are numbered:
primary colors: blue (1), green (2), red (3), yellow (4);
auxiliary: purple (5), brown (6), black (7), gray (0).
When passing the test, you need to distract from the relationship of colors to each other. Perceive only the color itself abstractly, without any assessments, do not think about whether you like clothes of this color, whether such tones are acceptable in the interior.
This procedure is carried out twice. When making a choice for the second time, you do not need to think about or remember which tones were chosen earlier. This will result in two rows of numbers that must be written in order of preference. Based on the data obtained during the test, a person receives an exhaustive analysis of his personal psychological state.
Interestingly, the Luscher color test is sometimes used as an auxiliary diagnostic method in making a medical diagnosis, it can warn about the occurrence of painful conditions: heart failure, contractions of cerebral vessels, malfunctions of the gastrointestinal tract.
The objectivity of the test is due to the perception of color through contrasts. So, if the body is subject to excessive stress, needs appeasement, peace, emotional and physical rest, stress relief - the choice will instinctively fall on darker colors. If there is a desire for energetic activity, engaging in creativity, brighter tones will become the result of the choice.
Color blindness (the inability to distinguish one or more colors) does not prevent you from passing the test and getting reliable results.
Colors for the test were selected thoroughly on the basis of psychological and physiological significance. These data are universal for any person. The main condition is a clear understanding of how the diagnosis is carried out: the subject must arrange the colored cards in order of their preference on an intuitive level.
The interpretation of the test results is based on the interpretation of:
places (order) of each card;
the values of the selected colors;
the values of the ratio of colors in pairs of cards that are in the same position at each choice (for example, at the first choice, green took the leading place, and at the second yellow).
People taking the test are often shocked by the fact that simply by laying out colorful cards, it is possible to reveal the psychological state so deeply.
Here is a brief meaning of the positions of the cards
The color of the very first card in each row means the method of moving towards the goal, the state in which a person strives to achieve what he wants. For example, if the blue color is in the first place, then the main method is peace, tranquility.
The second position is the true goal, what a person strives for.
The third and fourth places reflect the situation, the circumstances of the current period of life at the time of testing.
The fifth and sixth cards denote indifference, their meaning is not rejected, but has no place in the current situation.
The seventh and eighth - hostility, rejection, antipathy, forcedly suppressed needs.
Meaning of eight colors
Each of the eight colors has a specific meaning, below are brief characteristics.
Blue colour symbolizes the depth of feelings, peace, concentration. People who choose blue are sensitive, receptive, and want wholeness. They need love, tenderness, mutual affection. This is the color of fidelity, it promotes philosophical reflection, concentration. Not for nothing that you can endlessly look at the sea. The rejection of the blue color indicates unsatisfied needs of an emotional nature, a suppressed desire for peace.
Green color indicates the flexibility of the mind. Its psychological components: stubbornness, perseverance, resistance to change, self-confidence. People who choose green are firm in their opinions, true to principles. It is important for them to strengthen their own significance, self-respect, dominance over others.
Red color symbolizes willpower, blood, fire, masculinity. Embodies desires, passionate aspirations. Exciting effect on the nervous system. Raises blood pressure, enhances the work of the endocrine system.
The rejection of red expresses irritation from a lack of vital energy, hostility to excited activity. This may be due to physical weakness, fatigue, or heart failure.
Yellow- spontaneity, spontaneity, a source of bright joy and cheerful optimism. Those who prefer yellow are characterized by the desire for happiness, hope, impulsiveness. The expectation of happiness manifests itself in various forms: from an intimate adventure to a spiritual quest culminating in enlightenment. If the yellow color is denied, then this is a clear indication that hopes and desires have collapsed, the person feels alienated.
Purple- a combination of red and blue. Represented by a separate color that combines the impulsive passion of red and the deep peace of blue. The person who likes purple believes in miracles, expects magic, wants to impress, wants to be admired. Retains childish spontaneity in adulthood. Not without reason, babies, after they learn to distinguish colors, choose purple from the multi-colored toys offered.
Brown color signifies the importance of physical perception. The choice of brown color indicates that a person has certain physical ailments, problems, the inability to ensure their own safety, a sense of anxiety. There is a desire to get rid of problems that cause physical discomfort.
When the Luscher test was given to people who had gone through the war, most of them preferred brown due to psychological decline and health problems.
Black color embodies the rejection of color. Black color is "no", the termination of life, destruction. People who put black at the top of their list of preferences - reject everything, protest, proclaim that they are not satisfied with the established order of things. Riot is their lifestyle. Here it is appropriate to recall the movement called "Goths", which deny the rules, conventions, do not recognize other colors.
Grey colour symbolizes neutrality. It is not light and not dark, not bright and not pale. He is nobody's, psychologically neutral. People who have chosen gray and put it in the first place want to protect themselves from the outside world, they want no one to interfere in their lives. When solving their own problems, they take an observant position.
The psychology of perception is a subtle, complex science, but insanely interesting. External sense organs receive signals from outside and send them to the brain. The brain at the reflex level (automatically) correlates the received signals with the internal state of the body, processes the information, and gives the result. Thus, knowing what colors a person likes, one can easily analyze not only his internal psychological state, but also his physical health.

You have to choose your favorite color from the descriptions provided, and then draw conclusions about your character traits. Perhaps you can name two colors at once as your favorite colors. In this case, it is necessary to combine their characteristics.
RED
Red is the strongest color that reflects an active life position.
The presence of red color in the aura testifies to the release of energy and the aggressive mood of a person. Nevertheless, the red color can be not only active, but also calm, prudent. The actions of such a person are distinguished by increased composure. Such people often defy fate and face the same determined opponents as themselves.
People who choose red in their clothes usually do not waste their emotions on anger and aggression. They know how to manage their condition and maintain an optimistic mood.
Red is also the most popular color. It is often mistaken for a symbol of brute force. In fact, red is the most controlled color. Therefore, by choosing this color, you show that you are ready to obey generally accepted conventions and are able to perfectly control your actions. If you love red, then it is important to apply it correctly. Red encompasses such qualities as passion, assertiveness, endurance, courage and other qualities of character that give joy to life and a love of adventure. From the above, it can be seen that the qualities that are represented in red are related not only to the physical, but also to the mental spheres. Therefore, it is understandable how rarely all the elements of red are present in one person. Among fans of red, you can meet both heroes and their fans, great athletes and temperamental sports fans.
The characteristics of the red color wave make it reflect the individual character more vividly than other colors. Therefore, for a more complete study of the character, it is necessary to analyze the shades of red and their meaning.
DARK BORDEAUX
This deep shade of dark red indicates the vitality and strength of its wearer. It has aspiration and restraint at the same time. Sometimes it indicates isolation and gloom. This color has many shades. The richer this shade, the better. The predominance of red shades in burgundy indicates a strong warlike spirit, its ability to overcome difficulties. If there is a high proportion of brown in burgundy, this indicates mundane material interests and selfish acts of the person who chooses it.
CRIMSON
This color emphasizes optimism and energy. It is chosen by people who are determined to succeed and ready to achieve their goals. Raspberry reflects activity at the intellectual level (shows the internal intelligence of a person). This shade also characterizes a loving, affectionate and gentle person. Often these are frivolous natures who follow their desires, but are able to learn from their mistakes and learn from the past.
SCARLET
The most passionate shade of red. This is the color of contradictions. He can give both the most peaceful and the most malevolent nature. People who choose this color can suddenly lose their temper, their actions often lack purposefulness. He speaks of a cheerful, but changeable character. It also indicates strong selfish motives. In love, such a person tends to receive more than to give.
It is easy to offend them with a careless word or deed, but they quickly forgive insults. The darker the shade of pink or closer to pure red, the more it needs to be corrected for emotional manifestations. The lighter the pink tone, the more love and compassion the person who chooses it is ready to show. Bright tones of pink indicate cheerfulness, dull tones indicate gloom and isolation.
ORANGE
This is the color of truly purposeful people. People with this vibration in their aura are proud and independent, they are able to actively influence other people and change the course of events. In orange, the energy of red is always present, but it is noble and more often limited to sensual manifestations. His main characteristic- ambition. The main drawback is the lack of a spiritual body. People who choose orange tend to gain popularity at any cost and make them trust them. If orange is your color, then you need to learn how to set limits for your own ambitions. You must realize that not only iron logic and intelligence are valued in life. You need more indulgence for other people, for their shortcomings and weaknesses.
YELLOW
This color has an undeservedly bad reputation. In fact, it deserves the highest praise as a strong and pure color. While orange shows an inclination towards intelligence, yellow shows actual intelligence, developed mental abilities. This is the color of the sun. In a practical sense, yellow signifies a scientific mind, overcoming ignorance. Yellow also shows artistic ability. If you choose yellow as your characteristic, then it gives you wisdom and creativity. Another question is how much you are able to implement them. Many people opt for paler, lighter hues instead of bright gold, which indicate caution and shyness. On the contrary, bright yellow indicates a person who is determined to win and is confident in his abilities. Dull yellow indicates a selfish person who is too absorbed in introspection and misses good opportunities. Worst of all - yellow-brown, dirty tone. If this color resonates with you, then it's time to think about other shades of your favorite yellow - generous bright yellow and deep gold.
GREEN
It is a magnificent color of nature and life itself. People who choose this color are able to easily adapt to circumstances. They love companionship and tend to take life too lightly. He usually blames other people for his failures. They can be compassionate and sentimental, which is most often perceived as a weakness by others. Green is the diametrical opposite of red. A person of this color is unchanging and constant, like nature itself. He is restrained in anger and slow in action. He is confident. If in a dispute he feels that he is right, he will never give up his positions.
If green is your color, then you can be too trusting, but people will love you for your open heart and willingness to help them. Just do not waste your energy on trifles, but look for real deeds, great goals.
EMERALD
Emerald is the most inconsistent shade of green. It raises the ability to adapt to the level of adventure and adventure. People with this powerful vibration have all the power that is contained in both red and pure green. The emerald color also gives a tendency to sentimentality and compassion.
OLIVE
This is a weak, dull shade, avoiding controversial issues, looking for excuses for its own inaction. This natural color is too passive to help the person who chooses it.
LIGHT GREEN
Compared to the previous one, this color has more successful features. Its promising and pleasant vibration bestows compassion and deep emotional understanding. He can be too sentimental and dependent.
In green, shades are of great importance. If it contains more yellow, then green becomes unstable, if there is more blue, then it turns into too luxurious. If green is your favorite color, then I advise you to find a balance point in shades and choose your own, the only one in accordance with your own inclinations.
BLUE
This is a very strong color that indicates conservatism and commitment to one's ideals. This color mixes sensuality with ardor and can go down the wrong path, not wanting to admit their mistakes. Blue is the color of the sky, but it changes its hue from azure during the day to almost black at midnight. In the human aura, it does not remain unchanged, constantly changing. It can descend to the deep blues of dark blue and rise to the inspired heights of blue.
Therefore, if blue is your color, it is important for you to choose the most suitable shade for yourself, harmonizing your character traits. All blue colors indicate the capacity for devotion. Fans of blue willingly make new friends, but relationships with them are often formal. Blue is a cool color with a certain independence, but people with a blue aura are well aware of the value of collaborative efforts.
Red is responsible for the primary impulse, green gives vitality from nature, and blue turns to the sky and the sea for inspiration. In search of higher depth, blue becomes the predominant color. In business, public and educational circles, blue has successfully replaced red.
AZURE
Azure or sky blue - this shade is chosen by people who are really able to rise above the ordinary. This is a symbol of an unselfish person, as well as those for whom spiritual riches are more important than material ones.
DARK BLUE
It is a strong shade of blue, showing devotion, trust, and constancy of purpose. Its main characteristics are strength and reliability. This color also speaks of independence and willingness to cooperate.
INDIGO OR ULTRAMARINE
These shades border on purple. They have the basic qualities of blue, but are more inclined towards love than loyalty and willingness to help other people. The firmness of blue is broken by impurities of other colors. Proximity to black or brown indicates illness or selfish inclinations. A strong shade of gray creates insecurity or even fear. Proximity to green, as in some shades of turquoise, indicates an impulsive nature.
VIOLET
This color has a very intense effect, which is probably why many people avoid it in their daily clothes. It is found in the aura of people with a very strong feeling dignity. People who are attuned to the vibration of violet are able to influence others. Often the vanity that hides under purple clothes becomes the cause of their own failures. Like blue, purple is prone to high ideals. But in real life it translates more to following rituals. People who choose purple are usually unaware of their shortcomings and avoid criticism. They are prone to illusions and often live in their own illusory world, avoiding everything that they do not like. Purple is a calming, harmonious color with qualities of contemplation and mysticism. People with a violet aura are often endowed with literary, artistic, or dramatic abilities. They have a rich imagination and creativity. This can be expressed with arrogance and increased complacency. However, the expression "timid violet" refers only to a flower, not to a person with similar talents. Therefore, do not stay away. You just need to work on the manifestations of your abilities. Violet color in the human aura is much rarer than other colors. This is another reason why purple people consider themselves exceptional, even one of a kind. Often they are prone to mysticism and contemplation. Purple is the shade of twilight, the transition from day to darkness. Like this transition from one quality to another, purple people love to turn their fantasies into reality.
PALE PURPLE
It reflects the softer side of the violet nature. People with such an aura have a pleasant and non-conflict character. Quite often, they show increased attention to the little things that others seem unimportant. They try to manipulate other people and participate in other people's projects so as not to damage their own affairs. The consequence of such behavior is increased thoroughness, punctuality, perfectionism. Pale lilac shows affection - to people, things, ideas, lifestyles.
PURPLE
The royal shade speaks of a sense of superiority and a developed sense of self-worth. Many people who are successful. They deliberately choose clothes of this color to emphasize their sense of superiority. If this color is manifested in the aura, then for such a person there are no restrictions in his aspirations - any goals are available to him. Such a shade of reinforcement by real life events - high social status, power, influence. If this is not the case, then the purple color in clothes becomes just a sign of empty magnificence and narcissism.
MAGENTA
This shade contains a significant proportion of red and indicates a person with an increased self-importance. People with this color in their aura pay attention to earthly affairs, but they also know how to successfully solve practical issues.
WHITE
For a long time, white was considered a symbol of purity. In fact, white can mean a mind that is not limited by any dogmas. People who choose white are really very sincere and honest, polite and delicate, ready to help other people. They may lack exactingness and perseverance.
GREY
The color of uncertainty, which reflects the whole gamut of feelings - from fear (light gray) to ostentatious courage (medium gray) to selfish dark gray. This is a deceptive color, a chameleon that allows you to stay in the shadows and remain unrecognized. Often people who choose gray in their clothes like to remain in the shadows for the time being in order to achieve their goal at the right time at the expense of others. Silver-gray shade is the most favorable in this range. I advise you to turn to this shade more often to ennoble your impulses.
BLACK
It has an undeserved reputation for being a dark color, but it is a sign of inner strength and calmness. Of course, black can be considered a symbol of formality and tranquility. He gives the impression of inner dignity without false pride and inspires respect. Black can also be very dynamic, allowing you to manage many things. This color likes to perform solo, it shows all its energy only in splendid isolation. When combined with other colors, it loses both it and other colors. It has the property of making other colors heavier, suppressing their natural vibrations.
BROWN
In the human aura, brown is relatively rare. This color shows unchanging and permanent traits in a person's character. It rarely raises a person to significant heights of spiritual search. The brown aura is more often attuned to solving practical issues. Brown is a companion of honest, decent and successful people. Those who choose it do not tend to show off or seem better than they are. Therefore, wearing clothes of this color is a big responsibility.
Dull brown, reddish brown indicates sensuality. Medium brown - for a stingy personality. Dark brown can be a sign of an irritable nature. Brown shades in the composition of other colors make them heavier and add gloom.
So, your choice of colors is done. Now we have information about the structure of our character. It may not always be optimistic. But in our hands there is an unusual key to changing the traits of our personality - through changing our color scheme.
This summer, the ELLE editor just couldn't get past the striped pocket edition of Fortune Telling. Book of Colors" on book fair In Los Angeles. Around the gilded volume, a serious hype flared up - a tiny copy first went on sale in 2014, then the circulation was sold out, and since then the manual has not been reprinted. Although, we are sure, it could have done an excellent job (and make a “cash desk”) for local clairvoyants and fortune-tellers. Fortune was on our side - the book flew from California to the Russian edition. Based on this collection of researcher KC Jones (not to be confused with a basketball player), we decided to prepare a series of "the most colorful and mysterious instructions" for controlling your destiny.

The sweet and friendly nature of pale pink can at times turn into naivety and immaturity in judgment.

Artistry, artistic and musical talents - fans of this shade have quite a few hidden and obvious abilities.

Such people are more likely to act as outside observers than active participants in events, which is why they often become a victim of rumors.

Color is something that surrounds each person every day, causes special emotions and sensations.

Preferences in colors also characterize the temperament and mood regarding the upcoming event.
The meaning of colors in psychology
Choosing the right tone contributes to various effects and can even guarantee success in various endeavors (at work, dating, dating important people And so on).
Understanding what certain shades and combinations carry in themselves, it will be easier for each person to navigate and even direct the course of events in the right direction. You can understand your state, see changes in your friends and acquaintances, help improve your mood and much more by choosing and combining certain colors in your style and environment (objects on your desktop, home interior, etc.).

Green, on the contrary, allows you to perform the desired actions, confidently move forward without feeling danger. Each of them has its own characteristics, differently affect the perception and psychological state of a person.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RED IN PSYCHOLOGY
Since ancient times, people have shown a special interest in the color red. In many languages, the same word denotes the color red and, in general, everything beautiful, beautiful. Among the Polynesians, the word "red" is synonymous with the word "beloved." In China, a sincere, frank person is said to have a "red heart", while the heart of a bad, treacherous person is black.
Red - exciting, hot, activating, association with danger and aggression. Red is easy to draw attention to any advertisement. The pulse and blood pressure may increase if you look at red for a long time. Red gets tired quickly.

You are relaxed, and it is pleasant to spend time in company with you.
Black
Black is not really a color, but the absence of it. However, black has an unusually large number of adherents. The person who chooses it is always ready to fight, he is full of fire and passion. Feelings of "black" absorb it entirely, sometimes overwhelm.

Alas, a black lover cannot always correctly assess the situation, which is why he loses and suffers very much.

In a relationship with him, you will definitely encounter uncontrollable emotions.
Often black color symbolizes a bleak perception of life. Those who prefer to dress in black (excluding mourning symbols - this is a special case) often perceive life in gloomy colors, are unsure of themselves, unhappy, prone to depression, because they have no doubt that ideals in life are unattainable. The frequent change of a suit or dress in black to another, brighter one is an indicator that pessimistic moods are being dispelled.
For people who put black in last place, this color can be associated with absolute denial ... it is an eternal mystery, an abyss, a black hole ... It can symbolize death and mourning. Perhaps you were afraid of the dark as a child and forgot about it, but feelings of discomfort haunt you when you look at black. However, black may seem just too heavy, dark for you.
You, most likely, feel uncomfortable in the company of people with sophisticated manners - you prefer sincere people who do not burden themselves and others with the conventions of social status.
