What's your favorite color?

The answer to this question might reveal more than you think! Are you a big fan of red? You're likely an intense and assertive person with a deep desire to be seen. Fond of Yellow? Your naturally bright, positive, and youthful spirit makes the world go round!

Art Therapist Innae Julia Kim told The Pioneer Woman that colors are more than just preferences; they give a distinct insight into individual expression and personality.

"While color preferences may not definitively unveil personality traits, we can gain insight into an individual's expression by deferring to universal archetypes from nature and cultural history to understand a color's meaning," Kim explained.

If this is the case, then a change in your favorite color might reflect a change within yourself, and this choice could tell others more about you than you've previously realized.
