What’s your Color Personality?
By Christa TerryAgonizing over what colors to paint your house or apartment? I’ll be honest and say that I winged it, choosing colors for the various rooms in our home when we hadn’t walked through it more than twice. I may not have many innate skills, but playing with color is one thing I can do reasonably well. I’m not at all surprised, as a result, that the Pratt & Lambert Color Personality Quiz spewed out a result that features colors (both on the walls and elsewhere) so similar to my own living room.
It’s not an exact science, of course, but it can’t hurt if you’re searching for a palette of colors for your home or you’re trying to choose between two different shades of purple. And it only takes a minute to complete — with brief questions about the qualities and colors you like — so you’re not committing to anything.

Same here — I was given the “raffia” palette, and wouldn’t you know those are the exact colors in my house!

Sadly I tried it twice and both times my palette (“”Pretty” and then “By the Seaside” which was at least a *little* closer) were completely ill suited. I suppose it doesn’t help that I wouldn’t use any of the colours in those top two rows or any of those accessories in my home.
I do like the “Traditional”, “Eclectic” (contrast and vibrancy-wise, but not really colour wise) and “Casual” styles shown in the style gallery though.

I got Botanical Garden. I could live with that. But I prefer my colors more intense.
