Choose Your Colors!

So I was reading in one of my favorite magazines today (second only to US Weekly...I know, it's trash, but I'm hooked), Where Women Create, and came across a fun little sidebar in the article about The Paper Source:



"...our 'Colorscope' is also about coordinating colors– and then learning how those colors reflect your personality. Our founder Sue felt that a person’s favorite colors revealed something interesting about them, and thus was born the Colorscope. Try it, pick out your two favorites...and read what they tell you about yourself. Just as I’m wowed by how our colors work together, I’m blown away by how my favorites really speak to who I am."

How fun is this, right?  I mean, I know, it's kind of like rubbing a Magic Eight Ball or picking Lotto numbers based on what your fortune cookie reads, but I can't help myself!  When it comes to mini-quizes, personality-tests, or any other type of prediction game, I'm in!  (Remember that game MASH?  Where's my Lamborghini, 6 kids, Mansion, and husband Patrick Swayze?)




So, you can imagine how thrilled I was to come across one of these "pick it and your universe will unfold before you"  things from such a reliable source as The Paper Source!  Why not join in the fun with me?!



Here're the Descriptions

Though for me it was VERY difficult to choose only two "favorites" (I'm a color-junkie), I chose leaf and strawberry, though lake and fuschia were near tie-breakers!  What were your two favorite colors?  Do they accurately describe you?  Please share with me!

  1. What a great posting! I pink Leaf and Fuschia! I suppose it is a description of a part of me, or my spirit. I do strive for balance, It's one of my main concerns at the moment, as a matter of fact! Suzie
