About the methodology

Color psychology: the science linking color and personality. Over 70 years of research confirm that color preferences closely correlate with character traits.

In 1947, Max Lüscher developed the first standardized color test, proving that color choice is not random but reflects deep psychological processes. Faber Birren described the mechanisms of color's physiological impact on the nervous system.

Modern research by Andrew Elliot confirmed that color influences cognitive functions, motivation, and social behavior. Angela Wright's Colour Affects system is used worldwide in design and consulting to assess color personality profiles.
