I’m sorry to interrupt your weekend with a post, but this is incredibly important. We need to determine our colostrology.
I’ll be honest. I’m a sucker for personality quizzes. Every time John and Sherry put one on their website, I’m off to discover what my style is, if I am more country than modern, or what my favorite color says about my career path. Actually, I didn’t take that last one. I could never decide on my favorite color.
I considered it my duty to figure out my colorstrology after I read about it on Design Box. Melissa summarizes nicely the concept on her post, so I encourage you to click over. It’s simple: just click on your month and birthday. Is it accurate? Who cares? It’s fun. And, well, I would like to imagine mine is pretty spot on. One of my favorite colors is saxon blue. All blues, really, which is why I wore it to my high school reunion, but saxon blue seems like a color I could live with in home decor because it’s muddier, not so bright.
Here is Mikey’s. His favorite color really is green.
And here is Nicholas’s, my little scrapper with a heart.
The Mister was also in the purple category. Now that I know our colostrology, I have an obvious question. How do you decorate a house with a blue-green-purple color scheme? The only things I can think of with those colors are circus clowns and hot air balloons.
I would love to hear your colostrology color and traits and if you think they are accurate. Happy weekend-ing!
I can’t believe I’m making the first comment. I’m Terra cotta. Blah, I hate that color. Supposedly I’m a commited analytical explorer…What?
Mauve? Really? I don’t think so.
You gals are killing me! ;)
Sun Orange for my month (August) and Golden Poppy for the day (9). Actually quite accurate. Also, strangely, for the past year or two I’ve found myself inexplicably drawn to shades of orange. So there.
Oh, I know–I totally stand corrected. Yesterday I searched blue-green-purple combination and found tons of fabric that I LOVE. I would link to it, but it’s to a shut down etsy store. I’ve been trying to find the same fabric elsewhere so I can link to it/post on it.
i am storm blue. i love it.
and i’m about to leave the house to look at paint colors for my office! this makes that decision so much easier.
Bud green is the color for my month (May), and kelly green for my date (the 5th). I do like green a lot– my kitchen is painted apple green, in fact. And since I started dyeing my hair red about a year ago, I wear a lot more green than I used to.
I don’t know that I could really pick a favorite color, though. I’m drawn to a pretty wide spectrum of shades, from 50’s aqua (the color of my living room walls) to pumpkin orange to mustard yellow. Basically everything but pink and purple.
As for the personality profile, it mostly describes how other people see me (“attractive, charismatic, and interesting”). I’d, uh, like to think those things are true. But who wouldn’t?
I am Bird of Paradise (basically orange). I love the color orange, probably because that’s how I would describe my boy’s fiery red hair.
Colorstrology said that I am a writer, self-sufficient and a storyteller. Self-sufficient, most definitely. A writer and storyteller… you would have to ask my friends, family and the handful of people that read my blog.
I totally love my birth month color (March, soft aqua, tres chic right now), and my description fit me (I “like to teach through stories”) but my specific day’s color? Gag. I’d never go near it. : )
Okay, so it specifically says “You have very strong convictions, so it is important that you remain open to new ideas.”
Well, one of those strong convictions is that pale mauve is not even a color, really. It’s magenta with severe anemia and a splash of gray. It’s the color of the barf trays and plastic pitchers in hospitals.
And yet, despite my passionate raptures over all shades of blue-green (yes, Amy really does love teal), my unwavering devotion to purples, the pops of red throughout my home and wardrobe, and my semi-serious flirtations with yellows and oranges…
My birthday color is. pale. mauve.
Blech.
It was a fun idea, though!
oil blue…very cool…interesting, charismatic, and seductive…i like it! :)
That was freakishly accurate as far as my personality. My birth date described me as independent and decisive, with leadership qualities. Being oldest of 5, I do tend to be a leader, I’m always the room mom because no one else will do it, and my husband said he’s never seen anyone make up their mind as quickly and firmly as me.
His was somewhat accurate, valuing friendship, tending to be intense and emotional.
The colors were a little off – lilac – no thanks. Cerulean blue? yes please.
Didn’t work for me. My color is vibrant orange and I have never liked orange the personality blurb really didn’t describe me either. It is funny though because it is my daughter’s favorite color and was described her pretty spot on. Too bad she was born in January.
My color is Storm Blue … love it! It’s just a shade lighter or so than yours. It also says I’m perceptive, talented and quick minded. This site is my friend.
The girls? Mellow Mauve. A cross between pink and purple, which is ironically each of their favorite colors. Addi is purple, Payton is pink all the way.
Greg? Firecracker.
Bright Aqua…and I do love that color. I’ve wanted to change our entire living room to a something along these lines for quite some time now (it’s currently accented in red). The personality profile…so accurate it was scary! Very cool…thanks for sharing!
i love these things, and my personality was right on target… but hush lavender? not my fave. ah, well. you win some, you lose some.
thanks for the site! chalk violet. i can live with that since feb always means amethyst. my description was pretty spot on too! with my family members, the descriptions matched but not sure how much my husband will appreciate Misty Rose LOL
Bruises also have those colors. Some just-before-the-sun-disappears-on-a-cloudy day sunsets – although green usually signafies a nasty storm… :D
Ha! Every wall in my house is blue, green, or purple: http://www.flickr.com/photos/erinkr82/sets/72157625316118687/
Oh, I know�I totally stand corrected. Yesterday I searched blue-green-purple combination and found tons of fabric that I LOVE. I would link to it, but it�s to a shut down etsy store. I�ve been trying to find the same fabric elsewhere so I can link to it/post on it.
Red Bud … apparently I’m powerful, charismatic and regal … who knew?!
Mine is “Crabapple”.. hmmmm… I didn’t even know that this was on the color wheel. I would consider myself more of a blue-green kinda woman, but I thought I’d bite, and read the analysis. “Brilliant, encouraging, different.”
Well, I have been moving more towards ‘moodier’ colors, even in my blues (think deep teals here), and although I don’t wear red, the color Crabapple is actually a weird pinky-gray-y-red-y color. I can handle it.
Then the first sentence said “Unique and different, you are not the run of the mill type.” Bingo! Yep, this is accurate. I would actually say that my colorstrology *wants* to call me weird, but doesn’t have the guts (it says I am full of power..maybe that’s why??).
Should I be happy, or sad that my colorstrology seems right on target.. LOL!
I love yours, by the way… blues are my favorite. :)
I just looked up my boyfriends’.. VIRTUAL PINK! HA!! Too funny. The description does sound like him though.
Maybe I should start encouraging him to wear this shade more often.
