I am Neutral and Natural; Find out Your Colour Personality

Colour is one of the things that is very essential in our lives because we find colours everywhere around us; the trees, the humans, our houses, everything and anything around us is associated with one colour or the other. So I thought I’d do a post on how colours relates to us, how colours define our personality and how colours could influence our looks and appearances.

I once made a post on Style Personality "Style Personality" which is somewhat intertwined with Colour Personality. Colour is vast interms of things it can be related to; personality trait, fashion and skin tones, emotions, culture etc, however, this post will be discussing colours as it relates to Style Personality.

My Post identifies five Colour Personality in relation to Style Personality, but some school of thoughts think there are six or more. Let’s take a ride together on this journey of discovering your Colour Personality.

1.    Neutral Colour Personality(NCP1)

     They are usually the Classic Style Personality. They don’t like too many colours in one outfit and are never comfortable in bright colours like red, yellow, pink and so on. Their wardrobes revolve around basic neutral colour palette like cream, brown, pewter, grey, tan, olive, nude, taupe, khaki, beige, black, white etc. and sometimes love to throw in the mid tones palettes like blue, green, purple. These sets of personalities also like to wear neutral make up and accessories as against bright ones.

      You Know what??? Neutral Colour personalities are said to be Organized, Professional, Mature, Responsible, Sensible, Conservative, Reliable, and Trustworthy. Lovely traits hmmm!!!

Some words that may be use to describe this personality include: Relaxed, Casual, Unpretentious, Approachable, Natural, Easy-going, Sporty, Down-to-earth. However, if you do not identify with all these words listed here, I bet you, you will find some ring very true to your personality, but if only one or two of the attribute relates to you, you may be Natural Colour persona with infusion of elements from different other colour personality type.
