Moody blues, fiery reds, mellow yellows. It’s long been known that color affects our mood and typically reflects our personality. What do your walls say about your personality?

With 372 colors to choose from, be it loud, quiet, calm, or outrageous, BEHR has a hue for every personality and makes it easier to find color and coordinate palettes based on what you feel, rather than just what you see. After all, color is personal, and we all interpret color differently.

You have a soft, soothing, and compassionate demeanor. Blue represents tranquility, calm and security. If you are drawn to blue hues, you probably view your home as an oasis of calm in a hectic world. You may also be a bit of an introvert, and enjoy staying in with a cool shade on the wall. Blues like High Dive also impart a note of self-confidence, which is quite fitting given the name. You like to be admired for your steady character and wisdom.

If you gravitate towards warm orangey reds, your personality radiates energy, enthusiasm and vitality. People who use such warm tones in their homes tend to be exceptionally friendly and nurturing—they love having others over. You are a social butterfly and you rarely stay in, but you loving the warm feeling of coming home to a color like Kalahari Sunset. Though you can be a little fickle and indecisive, on the whole you try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of fearlessness and curiosity.

You are a practical, down-to-earth person. As lighter shades of green like Bermuda Grass symbolize renewal and harmony, it is not surprising that you actively try to maintain a peaceful balance within your home and life. You are often the go-to for advice, and you thrive off of helping others. After a busy day, green lovers prefer to use their homes as the setting for calm activities, like reading or yoga.

You are probably outgoing, confident and creative. If shades of Sweet Lavender and Violet Vixen are your thing, you are more unconventional and adventurous in your home decorating endeavors. Purple paint can make a room feel glamorous, while creating intimacy and coziness in any size room. Purple people are highly individual, witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different.

You are warm, passionate and ready to take on the world. As red traditionally connotes power and drive, colors like Intrigue and Red My Mind are often chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous and impulsive – or someone who would like to be! Red people usually can’t stand monotony and therefore embrace change with open arms and ruby hues. Red paint is usually chosen by people with a zest for life! The intensity of your room definitely pushes you to embrace your fiery personality.

You are dignified and impressive without being showy. People who choose a dark wall color have sophisticated taste and like order and direction in their lives. Entering your Moody Black home is like entering your sanctuary, and the dark, comforting color helps you unwind from your day. You are definitely independent and like to take control in many situations. You are especially meticulous when it comes to decorating decisions, making sure every detail is perfectly planned out.
