No Color.

The other day, I didn't have an answer to a simple question. A question I should have thought about a long time ago. That question is (What is your favorite color?). When asked this question I lied and just said the first color that came to mind. The day went on and I kept thinking about my favorite color and I never came to a conclusion. A man or woman's choice of color defines their character some say. Why can't I have a color? I need color that fits me perfectly, like everyone else. I tried picking at random but I am never satisfied with the choices. The few people I talked to about this said “pick white or black. It's either all colors or no colors ". How boring would that be? I'm not a fan of all the colors so White is out of the question and if I didn't want to have a color I wouldn't be in this pickle at all.

Maybe I can't pick a color because I can't figure out what I want to do with my life, or maybe because I can't be happy with any girl other than the one I can't have. So now I am going to put some colors and their definitions on here to see if I can find the perfect one.

Red
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.

I am a strong person, I am filled with passion, and more than anything I desire to be loved. So Red is looking good right now. However, could all these things center around the fire and war aspect of the color. To feel passion, determination, and power for all the wrong reasons would be a huge conflict for me. Maybe Red is a bit radical.

Orange
Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

Well here we go, a less radical red. I enjoy the creativity, attraction, and determination. The rest seems a bit much though. I want to be successful, but I don't want to constantly be infatuated with it. I have no desire to be fascinated and stimulated by success. I think that one day I would be lucky to be Orange but it's not me right now.

Yellow Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.

Ugh Yellow, I'm not a morbid person but this is just too much happiness. It seems so empty, like a lobotomy. The definition describes the color perfectly though. I can barely see it on my screen it is glowing so hard. Not for me.

Green
Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety. Dark green is also commonly associated with money.

I almost picked Green a few times as my color. Growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility are a laid back person’s way of thinking. However, green also coincides with money, greed, and sickness. (Even though it wasn't in the definition ). These definitions contradict each other. Green isn't dependable.

Blue
Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.

Blue seems like a superhero. Blue will never let a person down and will always be there to save the day. The color has all the great qualities a person should have and enough mystery to be interesting. Blue is perfect, but most people aren't. I can say that most of the time I can be a blue, but when it comes down to it, no person can be that way all the time. It is a struggle to be blue all the time. When does blue ever get time to himself?

Purple
Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Purple is associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

This might be it. The good of blue mixed with the passion of red. for as long as I can remember I have been called King James. Nobility and ambition are two words I have been looking for the whole time in the color scheme definitions. I am also creative, independent, and to some mysterious. However, the radical qualities of red seem to seep through a bit more than the blue qualities. Power is so important to this color. I'm not sure how I would react to having an extreme amount of power. So until I figure that out for myself Purple can't be my color.

White
White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection.
Above is the definition of white. You can't see it because it isn't real anymore.

Black
Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery.

Well, I am afraid of death, we know my issues with power, formalities are boring, and I am not evil. The only good qualities of black are the mystery and elegance. I'm not Black.

I know, there are hundreds of colors, but they all come from these basic colors. Eventhough, I have written it out, I still have no clue which color I may be. However, I have a few colors I would like to be now. If I am successful enough I can be a Orange, If I ever get confident enough I can be the Blue superhero, Or if I can ever guarantee I can control my emotions, maybe I can be that passionate Red.
