You might never have given much thought to the colour of your front door. However, recent research conducted by London based estate agent Marsh & Persons alongside Pantone shows that colour choice can actually reflect an individual’s personality.
Here’s what the different colours say about your personality:
Black
Elegant, prestigious, imposing, sleek and chic
White
Pristine, simple, fresh and minimalistic
Grey
Classic and timeless so won’t go out of fashion
Blue
Trustworthy and authoritative
Green
Quiet, calm and soothing
Red
Dynamic, engaging and commanding
Purple
Dramatic and opulent
Yellow
Warm, welcoming, cheerful and positive
Pink/lavender
Warm, welcoming, cheerful and positive
Natural stain
Rustic and comforting
According to the study most people prefer their front doors in black, white, grey or navy. Those buying a new house may be psychologically drawn to a colour which matches their personality.
