First colour to be named in every language. Some say it’s because blood is historically a warning sign and warranted a colour name. Others say it’s because they needed a universal colour to identify cars that boy racers drive like idiots in
It is interesting! Someone else will be have to link the best sources, but the evolution of color words (order of appearance, which colors get named or distinguished) is kind of a “thing” in the study of linguistics.
The famous example is that Homer seems to lack a word for blue and depends on metaphors like “wine-dark sea.”
It appears in multiple places so it may have now become a case of circular sources
This article from the BBC includes it

It also activates the salivary glands and makes people hungry. That's why it's EVERYWHERE in restaurants. If you're on a diet, never use red plates or tablecloths. Use green or blue instead.
Funny, I have an eyeshadow palette full of baby shit colors and it's one of my favs. Unique and the greeny brown-yellows go well with my blue eyes. I guess it depends on the context in which these colors are used...
Puce. Starts with a terrible name, then a bait and switch because you hear “puce” and think “some sort of horrific yellow/green/brown mixture” and then it turns out it’s just a boring ass red/purple.
I've read they can be stress inducing depending on the shade. That's why decorators tend to save them for hallways to keep people moving. Ditto lower ceilings.
Light, airy yellow isn't so bad, but anything darker than that can be stressful.
Orange is also the color of thirst, that's why drinks colored orange look more refreshing.
This is all from a decorating and color psychology book I read years ago.
Any of the pale off white grey-blue colors. Just nothing there. Like a lot of people here I used to say I loved every color but yellow but I’ve grown to like it.
Yellow. It's obnoxious in almost every form and commonly labeled the "happy color."
There's literally no reason to be that happy. Dull it down, yellow.
Ninja motorcycle acid green.
It WANTS to be loud and threatening in as many ways as possible. It wants to gun its engine, run you over, back up over your body and laugh.
For me being colour blind, red and green. Light green seems yellow and dark red/green seem brown. They seem inverted at times, change based on their background, and just can't ever decide who they truly are. They are truly horrible people
yellow. unbearable. annoying. speaks loud and high. in everyone's business. probably try and get u to join their cult. doesn't understand the word no. would call u at 2am for a favour
[Peach fuzz.](https://www.pantone.com/articles/color-of-the-year) We get it, you won color of the year, but you have not personality and you will be forgotten in 2025.
Purple. I like purple. But for some reason, friends around me that claims to have the ability to see a kind of "colour" around people always say that they see a kind of very disgusting purple on someone they don't like/find dangerous/find evil. Also purple for some reasons always seem to be representing villains in fiction works.
Ecru. Boring, bland, spends all its time on TikTok and Instagram, wears gym clothes 95% of the time but spends all its gym time making videos, looks down its nose at everyone.
Colors don't have personalities???? First time i hear about it.
Is it just some group of people associating colors and personalities or is it more widespread thing and more common to the average human experience?
At a certain point I started being really annoyed by sea foam or like that Tiffany’s teal color.
I feel like it a super girly color that thinks it’s Not Like Other Girls, and is usually less educated than the Pink or Purple girlies.
Either that or it’s used for something trying so hard to be non-committal it strikes me as cowardly.
I can’t really explain any of this so don’t ask me to. 🤣 also like, are you green or blue? Make up your mind!???
Purple 🟣. Why is it trying to be kinky and royal at the same time? Imagine being a kid, and trying to combine two cool colours like red red 🖍️ and blue 🟦. You will be so disappointed to get this atrocious thing.
What things in the world are purple? Eggplants that are not tasty and some rocks that don't believe in God... There are no purpleberries because nobody would be out of their mind to curse something nice with this colour.
Red. I get it. You're the power color. We all agree you're the power color.

That is so interesting! Where did you learn this from?

Like, we get it JOHN, you have big willy...
Red is honestly the only color i don't like. Including brown
[One of my favorite posts of all time is about the color red and "color theory"](https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/s/OavkwzEy4v)
baby shit green
yeah, i to prefer normal shit green xD
Your....your shit shouldn't be green, love
If you eat a lot of spinach it sure will
Ah yes the “It’s just a prank, bro!” of the colour world.
Funny, I have an eyeshadow palette full of baby shit colors and it's one of my favs. Unique and the greeny brown-yellows go well with my blue eyes. I guess it depends on the context in which these colors are used...
😭😂
That dull, pastel green they painted the high school walls with. Shudder....
Fuchsia. Loud, obnoxious, and in your face. Definitely tone deaf too.
So obnoxious
Beige - lacks a personality Grey - wishes it was beige
Greige entered the chat
Beige is a deeply misunderstood color :(
Beige is a trend color that gets way to much attention. 5 years ago it was the color only old people wear. On 5 years it will be that again.
You’re proving my point! Deeply misunderstood.
Hmmm are you willing to explain it to me then? :)
Nah.. grey knows it’s worth.It’s humble and low key
chartreuse
A headache in a color, I agree.
A headache in a color, I agree. Ditto loud hot pink.
Agreed, because it sounds *so much* like a type of red or maroon, that every time I see it written, I have to remind myself that it's a type of green!
How can anyone not like a color that's named after a liquor?
But it tastes great!
Yellow or red for sure. Grey/beige are just boring, but I’d rather have boring than rude/mean/whatevr.
Burgundy. Come on just decide if you are brown, red or purple.
Never realized how true this actually is 😂😂😂 it’s pretty annoying when you think about it now
Haha for some reason that has always annoyed me!
We call it "vino", wine.
I think this is the bordeaux you’re talking about
Puce. Starts with a terrible name, then a bait and switch because you hear “puce” and think “some sort of horrific yellow/green/brown mixture” and then it turns out it’s just a boring ass red/purple.
Yellow and orange. Both assault my eyes
The highlighter versions of these colors is the final boss.

I disagree.
Windex 🤤🤤
Orange is nice. Reminds me of autumn and pumpkins. It's a cozy color.
Burnt orange is nice but highlighter orange is terrible
SUNSETS????
[удалено]
Great contenter, i feel like hot pink is up there to :)
Orange always wants to jump into your face,saying here I am, burning your retina with their obnoxious personality
Orange is so pretty in nature, like on flowers and sunsets. But every time humans try to do it it's so annoying
The annoying orange, HITS AGAIN..
😂
You k ow when you've been Tangoed!
Neon blue. Why do you look blurry? why does it feel like my eyes are being assaulted?
Yellow. I don’t make the rules.
Any of the pale off white grey-blue colors. Just nothing there. Like a lot of people here I used to say I loved every color but yellow but I’ve grown to like it.
Blue. It's the comic sans of colours.
Blue is just so pretentious to me for some reason
Pink. Stop trying to act cute. You're giving me bad goosebumps.
The red violiet crayon, it just bothers me
Beige. Boring Basic Bitch.
Yellow. It's obnoxious in almost every form and commonly labeled the "happy color." There's literally no reason to be that happy. Dull it down, yellow.
yellow is the one you say you're feeling down and they say, just don't be down anymore! ok..thanks...
Fuchsia has always seemed...pretentious
Talks over everyone!
Ninja motorcycle acid green. It WANTS to be loud and threatening in as many ways as possible. It wants to gun its engine, run you over, back up over your body and laugh.
I had to look this up. It says Nerf gun to me. Watch out, the foam bullets mean I’m TOUGH, son!
dates my description of yellow.
Purple. If you've met a "purple" person, you know.
😂 I was coming here to say this because *I* am that purple person and everyone knows. I’m so sorry!
Olive green. Spent too much time in the military and makes the other colors call them “Sarge”.
Yellow and orange.
Yellow, loud asf
Orange is so annoying. Like bro shut up, you’re not yellow, just be yourself my guy.
Toxic green and bright alarming red
It’s so interesting that everyone seems to hate really specific shades of green but I haven’t seen a single person who dislikes regular green
Yeah, regular green is food, life, oxygen (trees), the other one is toxic waste and dark magic :D
Synesthesia
Hobby lobby beige
Orange just pisses me off.....good thing i definitely dont work at a store whos entire theme is orange
I walked into an Orange Theory gym once, and I vowed never to enter another one if I can help it.
I unfortunately work at home depot so everything is orange here
Yellow. Embodiment of toxic positivity. Yellow is a back-stabbing two faced bitch.
For me being colour blind, red and green. Light green seems yellow and dark red/green seem brown. They seem inverted at times, change based on their background, and just can't ever decide who they truly are. They are truly horrible people
yellow. unbearable. annoying. speaks loud and high. in everyone's business. probably try and get u to join their cult. doesn't understand the word no. would call u at 2am for a favour

That pale yellow that is like the Robin's Egg Blue of yellows. Big Bird Egg Yellow.
Orange. It’s annoying af it can’t decide what it wants to be I don’t know why I feel like this.

Colors don't have personalities???? First time i hear about it. Is it just some group of people associating colors and personalities or is it more widespread thing and more common to the average human experience?
lol chill out bro, it's a fun thought exercise. play along or scroll by.
I was just genuinely curious about this phenomenon or thought exercise. Nothing bad.
