What Your Favourite Colour Says About You (And What You Might Need More Of)
By Kate Harrison, The Soulful Stylist
Let’s play a little game, shall we?
Close your eyes for a second (okay, read this bit first) and picture your all-time favourite colour. The one that makes your heart do a little happy dance. The one you gravitate towards in shops, scroll past and then scroll back to, the one that feels like you on your best day.
Got it?
Now, what if I told you that your favourite colour isn’t just a vibe—it’s a mirror? A reflection of your energy, your emotions, and maybe even your soul’s quiet cravings.
In colour therapy (or chromotherapy if we’re being fancy), your go-to hues are little messengers from your subconscious, whispering truths you might not even realise you need to hear.
Let’s decode them, shall we?
If You Love Pink…
You’re all about heart. Soft, nurturing, emotionally intelligent—you’ve probably been described as “the mum of the group,” whether you have kids or not. But loving pink doesn’t mean you’re all fluff and frills. Oh no—pink people are powerfully tender.
What you might need more of:
Boundaries. Saying yes to yourself more. Pink often shows up for people who give a lot. It might be time to wrap yourself in the same care you give to others.
If You Love Red…
Hellooo firecracker! You’re passionate, bold, full of life, and likely the one who makes things happen. Red people walk into a room and change the energy—just by being there.
What you might need more of:
Grounding. Red can burn bright, but it can also burn out. Make sure you're fuelling your own fire, not just everyone else’s.
If You Love Orange…
You’re juicy, creative and full of zest for life. Orange lovers are playful, sensual and bold in the best way. You’re probably the friend who says, “Let’s make it FUN,” whether it’s a business meeting or a brunch.
What you might need more of:
Stillness and self-trust. Orange energy can be outward-focused and always “on.” Sometimes the invitation is to go inward. To create just for you. To sit with your joy instead of performing it.
If You Love Yellow…
You radiate joy. People probably come to you when they need a pep talk or a pick-me-up. Yellow lovers are optimistic, curious, and often have a creative streak that refuses to be tamed.
What you might need more of:
Stillness. All that sparkle can hide anxiety or overthinking. Yellow is beautiful, but you don’t have to be the sunshine 24/7. It’s okay to rest behind a cloud sometimes.
If You Love Green…
Ah, the heart harmonisers. You’re all about balance, growth and that delicious sense of calm. Green lovers are natural peacemakers—soothing, soulful, and probably plant parents too (or at least trying not to kill their Monstera).
What you might need more of:
Self-prioritisation. Green people often focus so much on keeping the peace that they forget their own dreams. What would happen if you let yourself grow wild?
If You Love Blue…
You’re deep. Reflective. Likely someone who feels things in oceans, not puddles. Blue lovers are often drawn to truth, wisdom, and quiet strength. You’re probably the calm in other people’s storms.
What you might need more of:
Expression. Speak it. Write it. Sing it. Blue is the colour of the throat chakra—when you honour your truth, you glow.
If You Love Purple…
Mystics, visionaries, and seekers—purple people are tuned in to something more. You're a dreamer, a divine connector, and probably a bit of an old soul in a Zara jumpsuit.
What you might need more of:
Play. Purple can go deep fast. Sometimes what your spirit needs is not another download—it’s a good belly laugh and a dance party in the kitchen.
If You Love Black…
You’re powerful. Elegant. Possibly a recovering control freak (no judgement here). Black can be grounding, protective, and commanding—but it can also be a bit of a cloak.
What you might need more of:
Vulnerability. Try on a pop of colour every now and then. You might be surprised what parts of you show up when you soften the armour.
What If You Love All the Colours?
Ah, you’re my rainbow soul. You don’t want to be boxed in—you want freedom. You need to express different parts of yourself on different days. And babe, same.
What you might need more of:
Permission. To be a little messy. To not have a signature colour. To reinvent yourself as many times as you need to.
So, what’s your favourite colour saying to you today?
And more importantly—how can you wear, surround yourself with, or embody that colour in a way that lifts you higher?
Because colour isn’t just what you see. It’s what you feel. And when you start tuning in, it becomes the most fabulous form of self-care.
