　　What's your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like gray and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy.

　　If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite colors as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

　　A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day.

　　Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black dark gray.

　　Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things.

　　Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose something in different colors.
