You can even use color to improve your day-to-day life. According to psychologist Bethany Cook, you can learn which colors make you feel best, and then use them to help you tackle whatever your day may have in store. "Look at drawings, go to an art museum, and immerse yourself in colors. Go to a store and try on a variety of colors, picking ones you wouldn't normally choose. Look in the mirror and see how you feel in each look," Cook suggests (per Real Simple ). "Once you have an awareness of your own bias for colors, ask yourself what you 'need' for the day when you wake in the morning: strength, calm, patience, or energy. From there, choose your outfit according to the colors that represent those feelings."

Below, we'll fill you in on what each of the colors represents and how others may perceive you based on which colors you wear most often.
