Color psychology is the study of how colors affect our moods, behaviors, and interactions with others and ourselves.
Since I can remember, my two favorite colors were navy blue and camel. More recently, I have added hot pink or cerise and vibrant/kelly green (see my specs!) to that list. Now, I am a wardrobe stylist and personal branding expert so I am aware that colors affect moods and, more specifically, how we show up and move throughout the day. In working with my clients, I take into account their favorite colors as well as those that seem to make them glow…
During a recent trip to London, I did a quick “photoshoot” – see gallery above – while I was waiting for my friend to get ready so we could go strolling the mean streets of Knightsbridge. I changed out of my tee into a cerise-colored cashmere sweater from Naadam and it felt like the camera was calling me. I won’t share all of the shots but, here’s what color psychology says about pink:
- Bright colors convey confidence
- Color placement matters
- Lighter colors communicate approachability
- Deeper pinks suggest sophistication
