What is your color story?
Hey guys! For the past few weeks I have shared the psychology of color, as well as how to select a color palette for your brand, but I wanted to go a step further and provide you guys with a few color palettes specific to your aesthetic. I had so much fun creating this interactive quiz that tells you what your color story is, and a free bonus download with 4 ready to use palettes in your color aesthetic. Go ahead and take the quiz below, and make sure to share your results on Twitter! I love how everyone has a different preferred aesthetic, so I would like to see what result you end up with :).
Share your color story!

I don’t know why I’m surprised! I am feminine beauty and it is all pink (which also dominates my glass collection and wardrobe), but I hadn’t realized that in the reflection of my brand for health care advocacy, it is also a mother’s color. A mother is the ultimate advocate! This is an awesome tool!

Classic & Refined! Although I have a bit of a Vintage Artisan feeling too. SO in love with this quiz, because I’d already chosen a sage green and classic font for my site – I’ve been justified! Found your site through Pinterest and I can already say it’s the branding site I’ve been looking for for months. Love love love! <3

Hi Beth! Aw thanks so much, that means a lot to me! I’m with ya, I definitely lean toward a feminine aesthetic, but I have a mix of other aesthetics as well 🙂
Lauren Hooker
This is such a clever idea! I got feminine beauty and I’m loving the color palette. So fun!
Jamie
So fun! I thought you would get feminine beauty… because that is what I got :).

This is SO fun. I love the quiz format—you should definitely do more posts like this! I got “Peaceful” (although I did take it multiple times because I had such a hard time deciding on my answers…very eclectic tastes here 😉 haha). All the palettes are gorgeous though!
Jamie
I’m loving the quiz format, I might just do a few more posts like this :). I love the peaceful color swatches in the download! I am like you, I can take this quiz at different times of the day and end up with a different result!

Ahh I love this! I got bold + cheerful, and that definitely fits my brand and personality. 🙂 I use like to use bright, fun colors – aqua, pink, and lime green especially.
Jamie
So fun! I love all of the bold + cheerful palettes in the download!
Julie Wylie
Such a fun quiz! I got classic + refined, which I feel fits perfectly with my brand. Especially right now, since I’m taking some steps to create a palette & some of the colors I’m already using were in my result. 🙂
Sasha-Shae
I’m a Feminine Beauty, and I have to agree that the colors in that palette are just lovely! I also love classic styles (but that’s mostly where fonts and layouts are concerned and patterns)
Jamie
Same here Sasha-Shae! I really love all of these aesthetics… but they can be combined through type, graphic elements and color! Love hearing the results 🙂

This was super fun! I just recently updated my color palette and website to match, so it was fun to discover that the result I got (Feminine Beauty) had a few of the colors I use in my palette incorporated!
