Colors and How They Can Influence Your Interview!
We are slowly seeing pops of bright, colorful flowers around the neighborhood. Spring is one of our favorite seasons because, along with flowers, we’ve also noticed many more smiles as we pass strangers on the street. Could it be that the springtime flowers are influencing mood? Perhaps! Colors are continuously a topic of research in order to determine how they influence our behaviors.
According to an article by The Balance, the color(s) of your interview outfit may send a subconscious message to your interviewer about your personality. To see what your outfit’s colors are saying about you, check out our list below:
- Red: Power, courage, determination, passion
- Orange: Expression, enthusiasm, compassion, quality
- Green: Ambition, stability, harmony, energy
- Blue: Sincerity, honesty, confidence, intelligence
- Purple: Creativity, wisdom, observant, graceful
- Black: Leadership, strength, elegance, formality
- Brown: Dependability, friendliness, simplicity, steadfastness
- Grey: Analytical, independence (*Did you know? Dark grey tends to have some of the same properties as black, whereas light grey tends to have some of the same properties as white.)
- White: Organized, brilliant, possibility, sincerity
