What Your Favorite Color Says about Your Personality

It’s more revealing than you might think.
In collaboration with Prada.

We willingly consider ourselves suckers for a good color story. There’s simply something about the transformative power of a statement hue and its ability to capture a mood or energy that’s like nothing else in fashion. That might take the form of a bold, fiery red when we’re in need of a little confidence boost; a chill, elemental emerald when we’re craving something grounding; or a crisp pop of white when our look (or psyche) is in need of a clean slate. Color has been proven to alter and influence everything from feelings to behavior, and we’re all for harnessing that power any way we can.

Enter Prada’s latest handbag, the Emblème: a sleek, minimal shoulder number crafted in the brand’s trademark Saffiano leather. Inspired by the wide range of shades the style comes in, we brought our favorites to life in a series of monochromatic moments and still-life shots. Which color are you?

Green: the color of life, new beginnings, energy, and nature (duh). Also, cash money and fertility.

Warm neutrals, like this fawn shade signify warmth, calm and comfort—and appreciation for aesthetics.

Red’s a loaded one—representing everything from love and lust to energy, strength, and determination.

White is reflective, cleansing, and purifying, and brings a sense of renewal, order, and protection.
