This is a funny question because I really do not tend to think of people (myself or others!) as colors.
I discussed it with Sonia, though, and as I thought about it more, I was able to think of some colors that relate to people.
For instance, Zoe seems like the color red to me because she is a little bit fiery.
Lisey seems like the color blue to me because overall, she’s pretty peaceful and mild; a go with the flow sort of person.
It’s a little harder to come up with a color for myself; I could go multiple ways with this.
I could be yellow because I am fairly perky and cheerful.
I could be blue, like Lisey, because I am generally mild and peaceful.
I could be beige because I am not a person who stands out…I’m kinda vanilla in a lot of ways.
But there are some colors that really do not feel like me. For example, I really do not see myself as orange. I don’t even know what it would mean to be the color orange; I just know it doesn’t feel like me!
Probably green because of nature. That’s my habitat.
I think we’d all be swirly tie-dyed colors, with some predominant but probably bits of all of them, even orange! I think I’d be mostly a lot of shades of green, with quite a bit of pinks, reds, and purples- a little bit of blue, yellow, brown, beige, black and white. And a dot of orange!
Can I be a rainbow, pretty please?
This is a hard question. My favorite color is green, so if I were picking my color, then green all the way. But if I were to guess what other people see me as, it probably would be gray with some kind of bright lining or maybe narrow stripes — yellow, or red. I’m generally pretty boring/average, but in those few spots that are Lake-Wobegon-esque above average, then I’m very good. There just aren’t a ton of those spots, though, and although that used to bother me, it’s usually OK now that I’ve come to terms with the fact. 🙂
When I read this title, I was waiting to see you write “yellow” as your color. I see you as yellow because you come off as pleasant, thoughtful, and a great mom. That is what I think of when I see yellow. I see my own mom as yellow as well!
Aww, those are such nice reasons to think of me as yellow! I will happily be yellow. 🙂
