What Colour Do You Feel Today - And Why?

[Lsquaredw]

Right now, I feel orange. It is more of a fire or burnt orange. I guess I feel that way because I have been pretty angry most of the day.

For me orange could never be angry... Reading your post I could see a grinning face, up 'til you said you were angry... Hope you feel better soon.

I feel yellow with pain and fear today. Pain because the phisiotherapy hurts as hell and fear because I feel I am losing my mind. I'm too young to be this way...

Nyx,

I probably wouldn't associate yellow with pain and fear, but now that you mentioned it, I can.

Today, I feel brown, not a warm brown (one of my fav colours), but a bland and boring brown.

It's okay brucielucy I don't understand it either. Reading this thread i feel like I am missing out on a punchline :hug:
I am an auditory learner so I associate everything verbally. I could say something like "blue because blue is calm" but that is just because I know from reading that blue is a calming color. to generate something like that is foreign to me...

Although I can tell you what song is what color...

I feel like the color black today, the same as always.

For me though, depending on the circumstances, black represents different things.

There's the black that makes me feel powerful and in control, the black that makes me feel sexual and like the dominatrix, the black that makes me feel like a bad ass, black that makes me feel isolated and depressed, and black that represents everything evil and vile. Today I feel black that's evil and vile.

I cannot stand bright colors, they hurt my eyes and my head because they're too distracting and seem too....too energetic and alive.

OK. Give us an example. I am still struggling to understand this so would love to hear one or 2.

I sometimes have a need to feel powerful and ALWAYS in control but cannot identify a colour that does that.

Okay um, "Without you" from Rent is a really solid block of light blue. "Backdrifts" by Radiohead is teal. "Just for today" by brian jonestown massacre is green. "siren" by Bat for lashes is yellow.

I have no idea why this is but it is consistent every time...I always say the same color for the same song no matter when I am asked. sometimes I get images but they are mostly colors.

I think it is different than a color association for a feeling though. I think the basic premise of color/feeling might be based on the brightness or cultural association of a color. like I could feel really "red" or "evil" or whatever. red is "demonic" in popular culture, associated with blood, etc. Or yellow could mean happy, because it is bright and light and flowers are yellow and the sun is yellow and that is generally a good, positive color.

Of course it varies with different people. I think yellow is obnoxious so I would say "I feel attentionseekingly yellow today" lol :whistle:

Anon,

I have heard of people who physically see colour when they hear sounds, maybe your one of those! There was a stronger connection in the brains between (I think) sight and hearing!

Yes, that's called synethesia, but it's pretty rare, from what I heard. Here's the Wiki, in case you want to read more.

Today I feel like a deep bright blue. It is my absolutely favorite color and stands for so many things for me. It can signify safety (being wrapped in a blue blanket), hope (when you look at the color I can see anything in there), and endless possibilities (kind of like the sky which is all around us and everything is possible in the world enveloped by the blue sky).
