Colors are a simple way to talk about how we act, decide, and connect. This quiz turns everyday choices into a clear color profile. It takes about two to three minutes and works best when you answer honestly.
If you enjoy personality frameworks and want a different angle, you can also try the Color Personality Test. It looks at similar ideas through a different set of questions.
How this quiz works
- 15 questions. Quick choices about habits, preferences, and reactions.
- Scoring. Each answer adds points to several color profiles. Your highest score becomes your result.
- Blends happen. Many people sit between two colors. You may notice traits from both.
- Purpose. It is a reflection tool. It is not a clinical assessment.

Is any of this scientific
Color and mood links show up in research, but results vary by culture, setting, and personal history. If you want to explore the science, start with this review of color psychology in the Annual Review of Psychology. For a plain-language overview, see Verywell Mind’s guide to color psychology. Treat the quiz as a mirror, not a diagnosis.
