If you could be a color, what would it be and why? I don't care for red and black, they remind me of fear. I think for an all round color for me would be a nice burnt orange for warmth and security, yellow for happiness and smiles.

I took a class on film once and they talked about what colors mean. Yellow is for death. Red is danger. Purple is for crazy, like royalty!! Blue is peaceful.

Turquoise

Purple - It means royalty. That and I love the color!

IrishNY 02-13-2011 08:13 PM

I'm a rainbow. It depends on the day which color stands out more.

Murphy 02-13-2011 08:17 PM

Enquiring minds want to know...

If you want to be confident..wear Red..its a power color. Green to me is the most soothing color~any shade. Blue is cold...pretty but cold. Yellow is happy and warm...so is orange. Love purple & pink too but they are never my first choice.

quilter2 02-13-2011 08:49 PM

I don't like to wear red, it makes me angry. I love purple, it makes me feel warm and happy.

I would be blue.....and on certain days turn light like a pastel and heavy days real dark......BLUE

sak658 02-13-2011 09:11 PM

I love a rose color, my favorite, then blue, then yellow, then white, then black, then, then then then.... get the picture...

scowlkat 02-13-2011 09:31 PM

I would be a rainbow with emphasis on red, green and blue. Very very very little pink!

Annaquilts 02-13-2011 09:32 PM

orange but only certain shades

jajudd24 02-13-2011 09:35 PM

I love purple....pink is nice too....

jemma 02-13-2011 10:11 PM

blue+green of any mix but a rainbow says it all

heather1949 02-13-2011 10:50 PM

Well mine is Burgandy being Australian reminds me of a sunburnt country.

Honey 02-13-2011 10:53 PM

definitely red.

trupeach1 02-13-2011 10:53 PM

I am sad alot so I would be blue, both the color and the emotion!

MCarleneM 02-13-2011 11:00 PM

I would have to say orange and yellow....happy stuff. No pink, please. Blue is OK and some purples are tolerable. Come to think of it....I just love colors (except pink).

sew_southern 02-13-2011 11:56 PM

I like all shades of Blue.

Momma_K 02-14-2011 02:28 AM

I like Maroons, Burgandy and purples at times..in fact a lot of the time. To me they are a comfort cozy color. Green depends on the mood. But wonder why Pink is pretty much left out? I don't care for it, and blues...someone said it's a cold color, maybe because most of the time it reprecents ice, water, sky blue winter sky. Nahhh, don't care for it either, has to be a speical blue. I still can't see how yellow means death...stumps me!

Gosh no wonder I am all over the place sometimes LOL. Purple and blue are my favourite colours. And to think all this time I was blaming the hormones...or maybe they still are to blame??

gal288 02-14-2011 05:47 AM

My kids call my home the christmas house, red & green in every room, differennt shades, but red & green. Thr house is evenn painted greenn with red shutters!

thequilterslink 02-14-2011 06:06 AM

Hmmmmmmm i guess i would be green with some red, purple and blue polka dots in me. :)

QuiltingGrannie 02-14-2011 06:11 AM

Red, (Darker shades not orangey), then teal (blue/teal, but also green/teal.
I look good in all those colors.

mamaw 02-14-2011 07:02 AM

I would be yellow, because to me it represents sunshine and happiness. Not sure why yellow was related to death!!
My gosh, my bedroom walls are yellow.

CloverPatch 02-14-2011 07:06 AM

I love GREEN!

Watched a show about prisons, and they showcase this one MENS prison where everything was PINK! Some kind of new torture??! No the Warden feels that Pink is a calming color and being surrounded by it, uniforms and all, is why he has so few trouble makers.

Momma_K 02-14-2011 08:35 AM

Teal, it's a combo of two different colors...blue/teal green/teal.. HA! That would be on a day where I'm confused and can't make up my mind. Go put on yellow and smile about it! Ha!

mypatookis 02-14-2011 08:42 AM

I would be purple because I am passionate about everything I love.
