It also is an optimistic color which can uplift and rejuvenate a sagging spirit.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> If your favorite color is <span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><strong>YELLOW<\/strong><\/span> you likely have a happy disposition and people like to be with you because you\u2019re fun to be with. It also resonates with cheerfulness and creativity. You are often the one to come up with new ideas as yellow also relates to the mind and you tend to be analytical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>BLUE<\/strong><\/span> is your favorite color you likely possess the characteristics of reliability, trustworthiness, being genuine and sincere. You\u2019re also friendly and approachable being sensitive to the needs of others making them feel welcome when with you. Another trait is being sentimental and a somewhat nostalgic loving things of the past.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> If <strong><span style=\"color: #942aeb;\">PURPLE<\/span><\/strong> or <span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>VIOLET<\/strong><\/span> is your favorite color it shows you are are sensitive and compassionate, and supporting of others and often putting the needs of others before your own. You have a peaceful and tranquil quality about you. You can also inspire others with your creative thinking and how you deal with adversity with a positive outlook. The color purple is also associated with royalty therefore it creates an impression of luxury and opulence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And as an artist this is one of my favorite colors:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> <strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">GREEN<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> This color is associated with growth and is the color of spring. It has a rejuvenating quality renewing and replenishing energy by being a haven from the stresses of our hectic lives restoring our sense of well being. Green is a relaxing color and is associated with nature where it\u2019s found in abundance.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> I love painting the landscape with all its varieties of green and employing other positive colors in my paintings which brings enrichment to one\u2019s life through art.
