Attractions by Color
written November 15, 2002
Can you tell someone's attractions by what colors they like? Well, it's not quite that simple, but I have noticed a pattern between what colors attract someone and what people attract them. First, there are some things to consider. If you were to take a random sampling of people, you'll find a wide variety of favorite colors. Now, if you narrow down the sampling by attraction, you notice something interesting. Certain colors tend to represent certain attractions and how a person feels toward those colors can reveal a great deal about them personally. This is not saying that all people emotionally attracted to ten year old boys (for example) will like the same color, but merely that they tend to be attracted to a certain color more often (at a higher percentage) than the general population as a whole. For example, green may be tied with red in the general population, but be far above red in this narrow group. Now, of course, every person is different and we all have varying attractions, whether to colors or people. Another thing to consider is something that the teen-lover from work said when I asked him his favorite colors. He said, "green like the grass, blue like the sky, and gold like the sand on the beach." The sounded remarkably similar to something I said about my favorite colors somewhere on my site. He could have visited my site (because of his attraction to teenage males) and merely be mirroring what he wants to be (or not). People don't always think for themselves and they may feel pressured to like or not like certain colors. For example, Japan has a higher percentage of purple-lovers than the U.S. and those males who do like purple here feel pressures not to like it that they wouldn't feel were they to live in Japan. As always, attractions are a great tapestry. Yet, every tapestry is woven in a pattern. So, here's the pattern I've seen. It's up to you to think for yourself.

Blue- neutral

Blue is a perfect way to test the accuracy of any color survey. Blue is neutral. I have yet to meet anyone who hates it and virtually everyone at least includes it somewhere in their list of colors they like. Basically, blue means nothing. It is calm, soothing, and asexual.

Green - life, youth and boys

Test this color on someone you know. Green is a life-giving color and so, not surprisingly, is the color of youth. If someone truly loves green, he loves children. If he hates green, he hates children and visa versa. Another interesting thing about green is that people with a love of boys tend to love green at a much higher percentage than the general population. So, if you suspect someone likes boys, just ask what his favorite colors are. If he doesn't really care for green or is indifferent to it, your suspicions were probably wrong. If he loves green, that's at least another hint in your favor. But, remember, people may accept their attraction to a color, but not to a boy. You can't choose your attractions. Also, there are many different lovers of boys, from those who worship them as angels, relate to them as equals, just want to be with them, are emotionally attracted to their faces, or those who simply like their bodies. Everyone is a different composite, and Joey and I do not represent everyone any more than all those famous musicians who love boys are the green do. Still, for us all, green is the color of vitality of life.

Yellow - memory and homosexuality

Yellow is the color of memory. It's interesting to see that surveys find that "homosexual men" (which are primarily teen-male lovers with very bread sexual attractions) favor yellow at a higher percentage than the general public. Stereotypical gay men reminis about their youth more often than stereotypical straight men. So, is homosexuality an attraction to the self? Not quite. You see, the stereotypical gay man has very high estrogen and even higher testosterone. In fact, their sex drive can be so high that they can often "suffer" from proprietism (constant erections) during their entire teen years. This often creates an obsession with that one body part and, through constant masturbation, an obsession with the self. Now, no one chooses this hormonal flood in what would otherwise be a lover of teen boys, and what is interesting to note is that, without the high sex drive, they are more inclined to reminis and their attractions are much more focused (somewhat like my own). It's also interesting to note that green is the mixing of yellow with blue and that may be why green may represent a love of boys in males. Many males don't consider themselves "gay" if they like boys because boys have many feminine qualities.

Gold - teen males

Gold is a rather obscure color between yellow and orange, but still worth mentioning. Although rare, I have noticed this color pop up with those men attracted to teenage males. So far, though, I've only noticed it in teen-lovers who favor blondes. Still, gold shows through in the work of teen-male loving film makers. Interestingly, though, I've found that this doesn't at all apply to women, only men. Still, how men feel toward gold can be revealing.

Orange - hunger and sexual appetite

Orange is the color of hunger, yet it is surprisingly also an uncommon favorite color. Typically, it is part of a general liking of all bright colors. Orange is the opposite of blue, yet orange is a warm color and stands out when put against blue. Its stimulating effects (the opposite of blue) are used to do more than make food look appetizing. Frequently, you will find orange flesh tones displayed in an attempt to make the images more seductive. It's up to you to decide if it works for you.

Red - passion (and adults?)

Red is the color and passion of emotions. People who fear red tend to fear extreme emotions, especially anger. Those who love red tend to display emotional extremes. Red is the opposite of green, so to like both is to be "childlike" in spirit. I, however, love green and can't stand red, so I have a great deal of difficulty getting along with people who love red and hate green. Also, if green represents youth, could red also be its opposite in that respect and represent adulthood? This is very difficult to study because so many people are adult-lovers that it's difficult to take a narrow survey. If you are attracted to red, are you attracted to adults? If you aren't attracted to red, are you not attracted to adults?

Purple - teen females

How someone feels about the color purple often represents how he feels about teenage females. For example, I can't stand it and Joey loves it. Others are indifferent to it and likewise indifferent to teenage girls. It's uncertain how many American men like purple. Outside the internet, those I suspect are attracted strongly to teenage girls tend to become uncomfortable when asked about the color purple. you see, there is a pressure in this country for males to think of purple as a sissy color for girls to like. Japan, on the other hand, which embraces its love of teenage school girls, likewise embraces its love of purple. Also, purple lovers tend to have more of a sensual attraction to the female body and Americans are more for just straightforward sex. It's also interesting to note that purple is the opposite of yellow and that a more bluish (than reddish) purple is the opposite of gold, the color which may represent teenage males.

More Colors

White tends to represent a blank purity the same way that black tends to represent darker desires. Also, black-lovers tend have less fear and a surprising number of younger people attracted to boys like black. Gray becomes the neutral balance and a gray-lover will often be easy to get along with. Brown is the mixing of any two opposites, such as green and red or purple and yellow. Since people are rarely attracted to a half male, half female, I doubt this is what brown represents. Turquoise (blue-green) is an example of a mix between two close colors, the same as gold is such a mix. Greens with more yellow will be more impassioned than those with more blue and rely more on memory than a turquoise. I could go on and on about colors, but every person is different and every person has a combination of attractions. So now it's your turn. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
