They quietly shape our moods and memories, “a visceral language that speaks straight to the emotional core.”

We think color is just preference—“I like blue,” “I don’t wear yellow”—but our choices reveal emotion.

Red is “bold and passionate,” yet can hide “restlessness” or “suppressed anger.”

Blue brings “calm” and “clarity,” though too much can mean loneliness.

Purple appears “when we’re no longer who we were, but not yet who we’re becoming.”

Science and culture both guide these feelings.

Our brains react instantly, while traditions give color meaning—white for purity or mourning, black for elegance or grief, red for love or danger.

Color mirrors the soul. The “wall you paint sage green” or “the black hoodie you

wear every day” may reflect comfort, healing, or protection. Even in silence, “our colors are always speaking.”
