Famous YELLOW Famous YELLOW PersonalitiesPersonalities
Mixed Colors The most difficult color combination is Red/Blue.
If you are strong in both categories, you will often find yourself stepping on someone's toes to get a task completed (Red), but feeling guilty afterward for making that person unhappy (Blue).
If you are a Red/Yellow, you are a natural leader and find yourself in a comfortable blend. The Red dynamically directs your life, while the Yellow charismatically invites others to enjoy your friendship.
Mixed Colors Red-White combinations are difficult to read
because they can be aggressive and determined one minute (Red), then quietly passive the next (White). If you fit this category, your guiding motive is power or peace rather than intimacy, which spares you the intense struggle of the Red/Blue combination. You are likely to be misunderstood because your behavior is inconsistent, and you don't easily allow others to figure you out.
Mixed Colors If you are a Blue/White combination, you are
comfortable. You express yourself softly and sincerely. Your personality is easy to read. People find you determined, yet flexible. You are someone with whom almost anyone can get along.
Mixed Colors Blue/Yellows are fun to tease. They can be
footloose and carefree one minute then suddenly turn very serious the next. They may pack the neighborhood kids in the van and race to the beach for a day of sun and fun. But once there, they'll start to worry about all the things they should be doing at home. They are intimacy-based and have no strong desire for power in their relationships.
Mixed Colors If White and Yellow are your two strong
colors, you possess the best people skills of all the personalities. You are relaxed and usually take the path of least resistance. You do not experience much conflict between your colors, despite the different motives represented by each. You are comfortable with your blend and present an inviting atmosphere to those around you.
