What color are you?
Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 8:21PM
If you were to ask me this question on any random day, I would probably say, "Aqua," or "Turquoise." I love any shade of blue-green, and often have to slap my own hand above the dye solutions to keep from creating yet ANOTHER yarn with aqua/turquoise/teal. I can't help it. It's who I am.
So, when I ran across this "What color are you quiz," I thought it would be moderately amusing to take it, just to see what happened. There are 144 possible results to this quiz, and this is what it says about itself: The colors are found based on hue (how you think), saturation (how much you do about it), and lightness (the effect you think it has).
I filled out the questionnaire. (Mind you, the questionnaire says nothing about colors, it merely asks you for adjectives to describe yourself. The quiz would be much easier to take if it asked questions like: "Which color do you like more, turquoise or vomit orange?" Or, "Which color is more appealing, aqua or dead bumblebee yellow?")
And here are my results. Again, the questionnaire says nothing about colors.
It's right here.
Hurry up.
I'm waiting.
I'm just sitting here, waiting for you to take the quiz.
Come on now.

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. |

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.
Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen.
Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.
(Hmmm...I don't think this is me...what do you think?)
I am violet!
Very cool, since purple is my fave.
Thanks for sharing - that was fun!
you are steelblue
#4682B4
Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect.
Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.
Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.
Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan.
Your outlook on life is dark. You're generally a pessimist and everyone knows it; you're the one the come to when they don't want the sunshine blown around, they just want to straight truth. You can miss good things in life if you make up your mind too early though.
here's what it said for me....

Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.
Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.
Well, you seem to have a lot of blue green people reading your blog and I'm not exception. I'm a sucker for teal and related colors myself. :)

Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion.

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days.

Your dominant hues are blue and magenta. You're the one who goes to all the parties but doesn't quite fit in at every one... you know what you want, but are afraid of what the world might think of it. You're a little different and that's okay with them, and if you're smart it's okay with you too.

I am pale tourquoise
I am pale turquoise too. Wonder if that is why we all (or at least 15 of us) love the Yarnista's yarn so much? So far we are pretty similar color-wise.

Ha! Another blue-green gal here too, my color is light cyan. No wonder we all love your yarn :)
I'm a highly saturated medium spring green. Who knew?! My favorites are blues, reds, purples.

Oh, how true. Yes, this is why we are drawn to you and your yarn, Sharon. And why we feel compelled to comment!
And I'm another one...

Well, blue and green are two of my favorite colors, too.
Interesting.
So the next question is, what is your husband, and do you mesh or clash? :)
My husband and I would totally clash :)
you are deeppink#FF1493Your dominant hues are red and magenta. You love doing your own thing and going on your own adventures, but there are close friends you know you just can't leave behind. You can influence others on days when you're patient, but most times you just want to go out, have fun, and do your own thing.Your saturation level is high - you get into life and have a strong personality. Everyone you meet will either love you or hate you - either way, your goal is to get them to change the world with you. You are very hard working and don't have much patience for people without your initiative.Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.
I'm pale turquoise, too. I'm sensing a trend.
looks like i'm bucking the trend:

Your dominant hue is red... you are passionate, energetic, and unafraid of life's changes. You're all about getting out and trying something new, even if it means taking risks that other people would be afraid of. Hey, if they're afraid and you're not, more power to you, right?
Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working.
