Do you go though color phases?

Question

It has been pointed out to me that I wear alott of green (I didn't notice). I was shocked when I realized how many green shirts I own (different shades). It got me thinking before this apparent green phase I went through a black phase, before that it was blues. I looked at some old pitures an realized I go through different color phases that last bettween 2 to 5 years. I also noticed that I don't feel so comfortable with colors I was once attracted to. Dose anybody else notice this about yourself? What attracts us to certain colors?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

No I do not

Answer 3

Sure, I go through color phases all the time -- but they seem to last about a year or so.

I find when I'm depressed, I buy a lot of black, and of course if I am depressed about being overweight, I certainly buy a lot of black to look slimmer.

However, if I am in love, or if my career is going fairly well, I tend to buy a lot of pink and red.

I don't know what attracts us to certain colors; maybe if we buy a color and wear it and a lot of people compliment us, we buy more of that color.  

I have to say, though, I have never had a 'green' phase. Maybe that color just doesn't look all that good on me, I don't know!  However, I have been through black, pink, red, purple, and yellow phases.  

Answer 4

Yes.

My skin actually goes through color phases.

My winter phase is light yellow to gold.

My summer phase is deep gold to deep copper.

Answer 5

Yes, I've been through that a number of times in my life.  I remember in high school I wouldn't have been caught dead in any shade of pink.  Then in college I sudddenly started buying pink dresses, pink shirts, pink makeup; over half my closet was pink.  I also went through a phase of metallic-type colors, like I wanted clothes with gold, silver, copper on them; and I've been through a stage where I wore a lot of unusual shades (at least for me), like burnt orange, olive green, mustard yellow.  I'm kind of dull now.  I have 2 young kids, so I don't pay much attention to what I'm wearing as far as colors; it's just whatever I can snatch up at yard sales.

Answer 6

To be honest i dont think i've gone through phases where I would WEAR different colors, but i do notice that my favorite colors have changed. Like 8 years ago it was blue, 3 or 4 years ago it was green, and now i like red. and i didnt really notice when it changed.  so i do think that there are phases of colors :-D  

Answer 7

Yes. I want to become a painter and colors are very important to me. I did have a blue period and then a orange one. Afterwards, I started painting dark images with surrealist and mythological themes. Now in a kind of balanced color period and my images tend to be more abstract.
