Are personality colours a real thing?

I’m sorry to say that personality colours aren’t based on any scientific theory or evidence. While they may be popular they are not a recognized in the world of psychology as a tool to be used for assessment purposes.

No one had managed to produce any evidence that suggests personality colours can accurately predict or describe a person’s character, behaviour, or tendencies.

If in doubt I would rely on more valid and reliable measures of someone’s personality, like official psychological assessments.

Origins and popularity of personality colours

Personality colours have been around for decades, but their origins are still a bit unclear. Some people say they date back to ancient Chinese philosophy and the concept of yin and yang. While others say they were invented by  modern self-help gurus. Regardless of where the idea came from personality colours are still a great deal of fun but should be used with caution.

Limitations and potential drawbacks of personality colours

When it comes to using personality colours to decide a persons character traits there are several limitations and potential drawbacks that you need to think about.

To begin with, and as I said before, personality colours are not based on any scientific theory or evidence. Because of this their validity is highly questionable. Next, personality colours may lead people to make unfair assumptions and judgments about others based purely on their colour, which could lead to misunderstandings and stereotypes.

Finally, personality colours can be very limiting, because they tend to oversimplify and categorize people into really narrow personality types. This is not a realistic way of analysing a person and completely ignores the complexity and uniqueness of each individual.

Overall, while personality colours may be quite a laugh, it’s important to take them with a pinch of salt and not totally rely on them too heavily for a self-discovery or understanding each other.
