"Personality is a mask you believe in."
Dr. White
If you wish to accomplish change through color then it makes sense to first take a look at your own reactions on colors. First choose your favorite color(s) from the color fields below, next pick out the color(s) you dislike from the second color fields, and finally analyze their meanings by reading the regarding text. If your favorite color is not mentioned below, simply consider of what components it exists (example: dark red, a combination of red and black) and combine the meanings of the separate colors. Your preferences and aversions for colors usually change in accordance with phases in your life.
Another way of working with these colors is doing a divination. Make simple paper squares and write the names of the colors below on them, or color them appropriately. Turn them around and shuffle your little cards. Pick out three cards; the first one represents your path (the road your life takes now); the second card expresses your goal (what you wish to achieve); and the last one will reveal the reason (what are the deeper reasons behind your actions). Use the descriptions in the first color fields (the preferences) for the meanings. This is a simple divination, but you'll find out that it works pretty well.
A preference for certain colors can point at two things:
self-expression (you choose the colors which match your personality; for instance green for a lover of harmony and nature)
completion (you choose the colors you need more of; for instance an active, passionate person chooses blue colors to cool down his nature).
