If You Are A Color, What Are You? [Migrated Post]

I'm always fascinated by personality typologies. You learn so much from the differences between you and your friends.

At the end of the day, I believe every one of us are as unique as how much we allow and dare ourselves to be. In this case, it’s how vibrant or delicate you represent a color from the undulating spectrum.

Get to know yourself a bit better through astrologer Michelle Bernhardt’s COLORSTROLOGY exposé, sponsored by color corporation PANTONE®. The revelatory chart is categorized into months, then dates, that tells you who you are according to the time of the year you’re born in. What follows is the specific tone from a color family that you resemble most.

Simply select your birth month and you’ll see a rainbow of color tones from various hues. You’ll notice how similar shades of different colors cluster together to depict a common trait or aspect of a person born in the selected month.

Apparently February has a dewy palette and is full of subtle pastels, such as salmons, sages, and lavenders. Hover on your birth date to see the specific color tone you represent.

As for me, if I am a part of any color, COLORSTROLOGY says that I belong to the pink/purple family:

February: Sheer Lilac

PANTONE® 16-3617
  • Uplifting
  • Progressive
  • Detached

The color for the month of February is Sheer Lilac. Inspiring and imaginative, this color invokes the qualities of humanity and kindness. Sheer Lilac helps us comprehend the spirit of mankind and allows us to experience our friends and the people in our community as family. Use this color when emotionally entangled, as it can help you practice and understand detachment. Wear, meditate, and surround yourself with Sheer Lilac to enhance your spirituality and compassion.

February 24: Pink Nectar

PANTONE® 14-2305
  • Sensitive
  • Talented
  • Aesthetic

You have a soft spot when it comes to loving and caring for people that are close to you. Trying to find a balance between taking care of yourself and the needs of others can be one of your challenges. You are usually good at anything related to the arts or creativity. [So, so true.] Your personal color helps you express your love without becoming too attached. Wearing, meditating, or surrounding yourself with Pink Nectar accentuates your beautiful spirit and allows you to enjoy the treasures that life brings your way.


On a side note, it’s also interesting how you can actually use a particular color tone, whether in any part of your clothing or accessories, to take charge of your mood and make the most of that day. Good to know that we're not supposed to leave everything up to fate.

Who Are You in the Animal Kingdom? [Migrated Post]

I’m always fascinated by personality tests, notably accurate ones. A friend referred to me this website, Doubutsu Uranai (literally meaning “animal fortune-telling”), a very long time ago. I recently stumbled upon it again and recalled the self-reflection I went through the very first time I saw my results. I’ve got to say … 80% of it are true.


  • You are Gold Lion, who is rather serious and polite type of person.
  • You value personal relationships.
  • You suppress yourself and act to be a sociable person.
  • But you are really a person who doesn’t like to lose to anyone.
  • You dislike emotional atmosphere and vague attitude. (huh?)
  • You want to make everything clear-cut.
  • You like to stay in your own little world.
  • If you get in a situation where there are lots of people you can not express yourself and act as a perfect person.
  • You are not very subjective sort of person, unlike ordinary women, but unfortunately you lack soft and gentle atmosphere.
  • You tend to be too bold.
  • You cannot help but stretch your hand to those who are in need.
  • You are very kind person who helps the weak.
  • You are also weak on compliments, and will work enthusiastically after someone has given a compliment.
  • You will go about your duty steadily and loyally, and not get in a rush to achieve the objective. (I do take my own sweet time …)
  • You have perseverance, and will work effortlessly until you reach your objective.
  • Something that you have worked steadily for a long, long time, will turn out to be an asset to the world. (let’s hope for that!)
  • You are careful and rational, and therefore place value to steady life.
  • After getting married, you will be a devoted mother and a wife, but you are really a very dependent person, and prefer to keep your own little world. (hmmm …)
Backed by social and behavioral psychology studies, the Doubutsu Uranai personality assessment only requires you to include your date of birth to accurately determine who you are among the 12 different kinds of animals your unique traits and characteristics most closely resemble.
Once you know which animal you resemble most, you are further classified into one of the colors on their file. If you are situation-oriented, or otherwise noted as belonging to the New Moon family or the Sun family, you are either a yellow, green, gold, or silver animal. If you’re a laser-sharp objective person, belonging to the Full Moon group or the Earth group, you’re either in red, blue, brown, orange, purple, or black. Stripped off the ‘gold’ label, of which the gold lion is described as “bold and sedate, but have inner sensitivity”, I zoomed out a bit and went back to what I basically resemble: The lion.

1. Lions love special treatment and praise.
2. Lions say things like “Awesome!” and “Definitely!”
3. Lions don’t complain and are hard on others
4. Lions are perfectionists
5. Lions are not good with numbers
6. Lions’ mortal enemies are lack of sleep and an empty stomach
7. Lions own expensive things
8. Lions love silly puns
9. Lions are actually spoiled kids
10. Lions are outwardly impressive; but their rooms are a shambles

… aaand all 10 of the above statements are true, as my fellow Lion friend agreed too.

Take the test and see the results for yourself :)
