Have you ever got up in the morning, gone to your wardrobe and found – despite the fact their are (far too) many hangers of clothes – you have nothing you want to wear? Have you ever suddenly decided you need an olive green or magenta jumper, or a bright red pair of trousers, when you don’t usually like these colours? Have you ever felt the need to eat fruit or vegetables of a certain colour? Has there been a time when you felt compelled to decorate a room an entirely different colour? Or suddenly hated or gone off a colour you’ve loved and had to replace things and redecorate as a result? Why is that?

We are naturally attracted to colours that resonate with our unique moods and thoughts. Sometimes we unconsciously know we need to feel the vibratory effects of a particular colour, so we bring it into our environment in whatever way we can. Clothes are a very simple way to do so, and it’s amazing what you can tell from someones choice in clothing colour.

Each colour is associated with certain moods, actions, or states of being, and can range from one end of the scale to the other on every association: for example, red can mean lots of energy or complete lethargy; yellow can mean clarity or confusion. Also, because most colours are made up of two or more colours, there is hidden meaning within any colour other than the three primaries (red, yellow, and blue). Hidden colours represent unconscious, repressed, or suppressed issues or aspects of our personalities.
