I personally like yellow because it denotes “sunshine” which means happy. They call me Mr. Sunshine that’s why I love yellow. It’s an optimistic color.

I don’t really like yellow at all. I have fair skin, so I’ve never worn it because I look washed out, and I’ve never been fond of it, using it in my decorating. However, I need some in my office, to help my productivity!

Hmmm. My favorite color for wearing is red but outside of that – orange/green. Not sure what such indecisiveness would mean but it all depends on what the colors are applied to.

When it comes to yellow, I immediately think of those who’re optimistic, energetic, extremely confident and of course yearning for spotlight :))) Never thought it was related to the negativity like jealousy, anxiety or cowardice…
