Blue

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.

Burnt Orange

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.

Green

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.
