Color quiz: The first color you spot can say a lot about who you are.

Color Quiz: What the First Shade You Notice Says About You

Colors do more than please the eye—they can offer insight into your personality. Color psychology suggests that the shades you’re drawn to can reveal how others perceive you, including whether you come across as intimidating.

In this quiz, the first three colors that catch your eye can hint at different traits.

First Color

Which shade stood out first—gray, purple, or yellow?

  • Gray: You seem calm, logical, and steady. Your composed nature may unsettle people who struggle with emotional control.

  • Purple: You think creatively and challenge norms. Your originality can feel intimidating to those who prefer structure or predictability.

  • Yellow: Your high energy, enthusiasm, and positivity may overwhelm people who aren’t as upbeat.

Second Color

If blue, brown, or green showed up second, this suggests others see you as dependable and grounded. But people who feel insecure may find your stability hard to match.

Third Color

Noticing blue, brown, or green again as your third shade reinforces perceptions of competence and insight—traits that can intimidate those who feel less confident or informed.
