146. What isyour favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must bean optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you wouldrather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded anddetermined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you aresuccessful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, andthe effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us that we don't chooseour favourite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so assoon as you opened your eyes, of at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel morecheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress bringswarmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black isdepressing. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but moreactive. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have feweraccidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or darkgrey.
Remember, then, that if you feel low,you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a fewcolourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and yourenemies better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don'tforget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a pieceof handkerchief.
