We are all affected by colour in our everyday lives and actually, our changing preferences for colour can tell us a lot about our physical and mental states. For instance, some people might choose to wear a red dress on a day when they're feeling lethargic. Other people may need to feel confident before they wear a strong colour. Most of us take colours for granted - except when one is really in your face and makes us notice it. Usually colour is only really important to us when we pick a new outfit or a new look for the home. However, we are influenced by it more than we realise.
Have you ever felt really drawn to one particular newcomer, while you just can't stand another? The chances are that you have tuned in to his or her dominant colour without knowing it. Even the human aura contains colours, which certain psychics can actually see. Ordinary people get a 'feeling' about a person instead. Knowing your own colour can be very useful. Wearing a given colour or using it around the home can reflect our personalities and also bring out certain characteristics - including some we didn't know we had. The use of colour also helps us to create a chosen impression at interviews and the like.
