We move through a world painted with feelings we rarely name. The red you crave when you’re exhausted may be your hunger for aliveness, a silent plea for passion to drown out numbness. The soft blue you wrap around your shoulders at night can be both comfort and confession: a wish for safety, and an ache for someone to truly see you. Purple often appears at the edge of change, like a dusk sky holding both goodbye and not-yet, inviting you to release what you’ve outgrown and step—uncertain, but willing—into what’s next.

Even your resistance is a kind of honesty. The colors you avoid may reveal the emotions you’re not ready to feel. Yet there is no “right” palette, only a living map of where you are. When you start noticing what you reach for—and what you refuse—you’re not just choosing colors. You’re finally hearing yourself.
