QUIZ: Which colour sums up your mood today?
Plus what we can learn about it from your Instagram.
WHAT COLOUR TOP are you wearing today? Ever think that your mood has an impact on the colours you’re drawn to? Or does your choice tend to be dictated more by whatever’s not currently at the bottom of your wash basket?
Although colour psychology tends to be somewhat debated in psychology circles, there is some strong evidence that the colours we surround ourselves with can be significant. A study by the University of Vermont showed that your Instagram photos can reflect negative emotions.
Similarly, colour has been shown to have an impact on success rates in interviews (blue and black are best, in case you’re wondering) and even our ability to pay attention (which increases if you’re wearing a white doctor’s coat), according to this fascinating study by Northwestern University.
So, if colours are so powerful, what can they say about your mood today? Take our colour-filled quiz to find out.
