What color are you?

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.












You are aqua.
#00FFFF

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 saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.
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.


The Color Quiz

So. There is a good reason I love aqua with such a passion. I don't just love aqua, I AM aqua. And I can't just turn my back on who I am, now can I? I'd love to hear what color you are! Take the quiz and report back.
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 hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy.

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.

I try to be these things. :-)))

you are medium turquoise

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 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.

I'm Lime green!

Your dominant hue is green. You're logical and steadfast, focused on figuring life out and doing what makes sense. You value being trusted because you know you're taking the time to figure things out and everyone should just follow you.

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 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.

I might be a little late on that, I guess...:) But I've just discovered your site, and it won't let me go... So I have to read it from the beginning, because I really-really enjoy your activity (I'm a beginner in yarn-dyeing), and your sense of humour.
I'm dark orchid, by the way, and yes, it's me, and it really is my favourite colour...
Greetings from Hungary:)
