Color psychologist Mathew explained in a blog post how a person’s phone colour reveals a lot about his personality.
Do you also put in a lot of thought before deciding on the colour of the smartphone? Well, the colour of your phone is a reflection of your personality. Most people, who do not look at smartphones as anything beyond a mere device, often opt for the basic black and white colours that every smartphone comes in. However, there are a lot of people who like colourful phones and that is the reason why the smartphone brands these days are coming up with different colours.
Color psychologist Mathew explained in a blog post how a person’s phone colour reveals a lot about his personality. Here is what each colour means.
As per Mathew, if your phone’s colour is white, you are most likely a cleanliness freak. People who have a white coloured phone may be non-judgmental, open about things and have high standards. "White is associated with simplicity, which could suggest that’s what the owner is looking for," he stated.
Black colour is preferred by a lot of users because it is the safest colour and almost all smartphones look stylish in black. Also, with black, you might not have to worry a lot about fingerprints and smudges because the black colour hides all of that pretty well. Mathew says that people who pick black have attributes such as sophistication, professionalism, power and elegance. It also suggests that someone is looking for a phone with no internet in self expression.
"Choosing black may also be a desire for privacy and to be unseen, it could be a strong indicator of survival instincts at play,” he said.
Blue is another most preferred colour on smartphones, after black. The blue-coloured iPhone reeks of elegance and everything posh. Mathew notes in his blog that people who buy blue coloured phones are reserved, calm and not looking for attention. The colour is also associated with in-depth thinking, being careful, thinking before acting, being efficient and conservative. These are some of the personality traits that a person with a blue-coloured phone embodies.
"Blue is rarer for a phone color than black or white, which could suggest a desire to be unique, and an expression of their taste. If it’s a dark blue phone it would suggest they were not looking for attention and they may have some creative talents or tendencies,” he noted.
