My favorite color--'blue"(Yap)

Last Thursday I read a text about colors which drew much my attention and interest on the Supplementary Materials.

The writer showed eight colors, namely red, green, violet, brown, grey, blue and black, in the beginning and asked me to choose one. Without thinking twice, I chose blue at once. Actually, almost the color of all my pens is blue and I prefer to buy blue objects under same circumstances.

I have stuck to loving blue for a long time, maybe from when I fell into love with the blue sky. Whenever I have free time, I would like to go out for a walk and look up to watch the blue, spotlessly clear sky. In my eyes, the sky resembles much our hearts while the blue and clearness represent peace and calmness. Walking or jogging under such a sky can help you think the positive sides of life involuntarily and fuel your body and mind with powerful strength and fresh thoughts respectively.

Blue has also gotten the meaning of “sad and depressed”. If truth be told, I like things of that kind as well. Wearing a bit depression on one’s face looks more charming to me. I even can’t help feeling disgusted when contacting with someone who is outgoing and optimistic to a fault. In my eyes, introverted girls even look more beautiful.

Flash back to the text, its inference of personality of people who choose blue as their favorite color coincides exactly with mine. Although I am not satisfied with my present life but feel quite content with the way it is going. After all, I still have many choices to make my life more colorful and meaningful.

Notwithstanding the perceptions in the text are associated with superstitions to some extent, I enjoyed reading them at the same time studying my own personality. Anyway, blue is my favorite.

  1. Why do boys all like blue? I've asked 4 boys in our group and they said their favorite colour is blue in unison, while some are fond of the lighter blue of sky and some prefer the darker blue of the ocean. What a coincidence! Wouldn't it be better if our classroom is painted blue?? Ha ha~
    My favorite colour is violet. Although I don't want all my belongings to be violet, I do pay a lot attention to violet objects when I must choose one to buy. Until now I still clutch a wish that if I will get a chance to name a girl in the future, the name is definitely violet.
    But we don't want to be labeled with simply a colour, right?

  2. Hi Joyce & Josie perhaps this is a western cultural perception - blue for boys and pink for girls. Look around you at the playground, infant baby packs - all are in blue or pink. However, we like what we like. I like all colours. I do not take these test seriously. Colours are all around us. Enjoy nature and all the vibrant colours. Whatever the day, the weather, colours of nature still remain the same.
