Primary Colors equal your Motivators – What gets you up in the Morning

To work effectively with others, first, you need to know how you approach life. I am going to take you on a colorful journey that will better describe “hue” you are and how you live your life. Many things can be learned through the colors your eyes go to without thinking.

Let your brain rest and allow your eyes to do the work. This is not about what you love to wear or decorate with. This is what your eyes go to without thinking to depict your personality.

Do not over think this. Let your eyes do the work for you. Go to a window that has good lighting. Close your eyes and then gently open them and let them go to one color. You might not like that color. Don’t analyze it just yet. Write it down

Primary colors

Color meaning

The primary colors of yellow, blue, and red are your basic “Motivators” and indicate in the broadest sense, who you are.

If your eyes went to yellow first without thinking, you are realistic, diplomatic and giving. Your power is wisdom to know what is needed. You love facts! Your motivation is personal growth. Finding common ground is the game you play best. You calm troubled situations and bridge differences. Your awareness of others’ perspectives allows you to express contrary, unpopular feelings without offending anyone. By keeping people listening, you allow solutions and possibilities to unfold. You accept people for who they are.

If your eyes went to blue first without thinking, you are a planner, initiator and visionary. Your power is the ability to visualize the future. You are a dreamer and a visionary—wistful, imaginative and eccentric. You’re preoccupied with the future. Your dreams give you the mental discipline to concentrate and stay on track. You need to justify your life by making a positive impact on the world, even on those you don’t know. Thinking about the future energizes you.

If your eyes went to red first without thinking, you are practical, resourceful and direct. Your power is the use of experience to improve things. Your motivation is to better control your world. You know exactly what you want. Money, power and status give you a sense of security but ultimately you use them as a means of expression. You’re not one to hoard your wealth. On the contrary, you would give the shirt off your back for those you’re concerned about. You are ambitious, driven, confident and outgoing.

Secondary Colors

Secondary Colors

The secondary colors of Green, Purple, or Orange determine your reasoning within your Relationships. They create bonds with the world around you.

If your eyes go to green first, you are nurturing, concerned and comfortable. Your power is creating supportive environments. Your motivation is to understand who you are and what you want. You’re the perfect audience for others’ problems. They interpret your concerns as encouragement to talk about their lives. They feel you can see beyond outward appearances and truly understand who they are. Like fertile soil, you nurture people so their dreams can grow.

If your eyes go to purple first, you are determined, dramatic and empowering. Your power is seeing new possibilities, ideas and strategies. Your motivation is to become more self-powered. Your search for personal power is certainly no secret. You are reflective and thoughtful. Others see you as witty, clever and full of pride, and they are right. You need to show off your stuff. You are strong-willed. You know exactly what you want from others.

If your eyes go to orange first, you are bold, sentimental and dedicated. Your power is implementing change without disruption. Your motivation is to discover how things are made. You are dedicated to your job, hobbies, friends and family. Your realistic view of the world allows you to identify what is not important. You are a doer and have a sharp eye for spotting physical things that are not working.There is no right or wrong color, personality or combination

There is no right or wrong color, personality or combination of Hue You Are, it is just who you are!

The most important thing you will learn from these color tests is who you are. When working in business or in personal life with a matching color or a different color, you can have a better understanding of how your relationships work. You can’t change others, but you can change and adjust yourself! Color test your family, friends and colleagues. You will be surprised at how much better you relate, once you know and understand Hue they are.

Knowing “Hue” You Are will help your relate better with others.
