Possibly you have not thought very seriously over why you prefer one colour to another. Each one of us have tried out most colours, but why does a certain colour influence our respective attires.

Walking around shops and trying clothes, you've probably noticed that you keep choosing similar clothes in similar tones. How come?

Colour preferences, according to psychologists, are affected by many factors, including personality, mood and character.

Whatever colour we pick up to wear, in some way or other, it is indicative of our personality. Let's take a closer look at the issue.

Pink

If the dominant colour in your wardrobe is PINK, you're most likely a delicate, romantic and very sensitive person. Moreover, pink is a colour of youthfulness, dedication and friendship.
