i was browsing back through some really old entries here and stumbled upon this page that i had linked long ago. been thinking about the words melancholy and why i have always associated the colour indigo with this feeling. violet being my favourite colour, even though i never wear it. melancholy being my mood of choice also most often. anyhow, towards the bottom of the web page there is a description of your colour and how this could be linked to personality traits. normally i do not believe in these kinds of things, however, when something strikes home in my heart, it is hard to ignore. what colour are you and does it pertain? or is it merely a coincidence that the description for violet seems to fit me like glove to hand?

why these thoughts of purple suddenly? i dreamt last night/early this morning, of waking up in a lavender field much like the pic at the top. i don't dream normally, and so this was an unexpected surprise. if i do dream though, it is usually difficult for me to remember, so another unexpected surprise. i was so blissful and carefree...a little different than my typical dark, introspective, & slightly pessimistic self. how nice would it be to fall asleep and then wake up in the middle of a field of wild beauty, the sun's warmth just barely penetrating your skin? perhaps the dreamer in me...but you must admit, the sound of it just lends itself to a sigh of relaxation. ok, enough dreaming jenn...the coldness awaits you.

[ c o l o u r & p e r s o n a l i t y ] i am violet--> A combination of red and blue, violet “attempts to unify the impulsive conquest of red and the gentler surrender of blue, becoming representative of “identification”.” Purples are mystical, suggesting sensitive intimacy, union, enchantment, the blurring of thought, desire and reality. Violet represents a longing for wishes to be fulfilled and a desire to charm others.

"Violet can mean identification as an intimate, erotic blending, or it can lead to an intuitive and sensitive understanding."

Because it is so strongly associated with the idea of the world as a magical place and the need for wish-fulfillment, a preference for violet can communicate some degree of vulnerability or insecurity, perhaps a need for approval.
