What Your Favorite Color Scheme (or Theme) Says About You

BLUE-You're strong, independent and decisive. For dreaming, you'll have a restful, serene, (or peaceful) sleep-inducing retreat. You're loyal, affectionate, and considerate of your mate's wants and needs. Romance isn't just an act; it's an art form!

YELLOW-You're bright, optimistic and ingenious. Energetic and cheerful, this color may help you get up on time if your bedroom doesn't receive lots of natural sunlight. You're optimistic that every journey into the bedroom will be better than the last.

RED-Lively and animated, you thrive on excitement. This color's also sexy; its powerful presence in your bedroom can make every night romantic. Both genders who like this color are very dynamic. When both people are "reds", sparks can fly for hours (!).

PINK-If you prefer soft pink, you have a youthful outlook. If deep or "hot" pinks appeal to you, you have a sensual side. Women who like this shade are very feminine and love to tease and flirt. Men who like pink are also flirts and unfortunately, often philanderers.

MAUVE-This color is a sophisticated version of pink. You're youthful and have upscale taste.

PURPLE (VIOLET) or PLUM-You're creative, perceptive and a bit unconventional. This color's just right for dreaming, for it creates a mystical and spiritual ambience. You're a sensual lover with deep feelings. You may also be a tad selfish and will put your own wants before your partner's.

PEACH-You're good-natured and friendly, outgoing but not pushy.

ORANGE-You live to fulfill your fantasies. You'll be the star of the show.

GREEN-Your bedroom's an escape from the day's worries. The refreshing hues evoke images of nature and tranquility. You're earthy, natural, stable and balanced. You're a gentle, but not always a very passionate lover.

WHITE-This color leaves a quiet impression. Light and reflective, it creates the stillness of a deserted beach or a frost-laden landscape. White is actually a non-color and people who prefer this may often be inhibited.

BLACK-You're sophisticated, worldly and enjoy being mysterious.

TEAL-A combination of blue (independence) and green (stability) with your own brand of sophistication.

NEUTRALS (like BEIGE or TAUPE)-You're conservative and traditional; you play it safe and don't enjoy taking risks. For dreaming, these colors help you feel rooted and secure.

BROWN-Lovers of brown are warm and deep people who love to say: "I love you."
