We thought the best way to structure this article was to go through a list of colours and look at ways in which they affect our moods. At the same time we will also consider situations in which you may want to wear this colour clothing.

Black

Black is very much the colour of authority or power. If you want to make yourself look like you are strong and in control it is a great colour to wear. This is why black works so well in a business situation. However black can sometimes be a little overpowering, to soften the look you could try wearing a dark gray. This gives the same impression of power but is less domineering.

White

The colour white is generally worn by brides as it implies an innocence and purity. If you are going on a date and you are not sure about the person you can wear white. This will help to keep them at arm's length as the purity you are implying means they should not get too close yet.

Red

Red is a colour of passion, anger, sexuality and confidence. If you are going to a meeting and feel you need a little extra confidence then red is a good colour to wear. However be careful with this as if there is likely to be a heated discussion at the meeting do not wear red, it could only inflame the situation. Red can also be worn on a date when you want to look really sexy and convey the fact that you are a passionate person.

As a slight change to this, pink can be worn to make a date more romantic. However stay away from pink if you need to have energy as it can quite often take your energy away.

Blue

Blue is a colour of calmness and serenity and so should be worn when you need to keep your cool. It can be a great colour to wear if you are going to a difficult negotiation as it can help to keep you and the other parties calm. However be aware that blue is also a cols colour and so can make you seem unapproachable.

Green

Green is a colour of calmness. If you have a show to do or anything that you may find stressful green is a good colour to wear as it will help to keep you calm before the event. Green can relax you and make you feel at ease.

Yellow

Yellow is a great colour to wear if you want to grab attention and get noticed. However be careful with yellow as it can often cause tempers to flare and make other people fell uneasy.

Purple

Purple is great for displaying qualities of luxury and wealth and can be used effectively on grand occasions. It also has a strong romantic feeling and so can work quite well in soft tones if you want to have a fantastic date.

Brown

Brown is very much a colour of nature and so will make you appear reliable and strong. However it can also make you feel sad and a bit wistful so is not always a great colour to wear if you need to be upbeat and energetic.
