🟡 Why I Did This Mood Colour Experiment

We often say things like “feeling blue” or “seeing red,” but can colors actually reflect or even influence our emotions? Psychologists believe color can affect how we feel and how people react to us. So, I wanted to see what would happen if I wore colors that matched my mood—no matter what.

📅 The 7-Day Mood & Color Challenge

Each morning, I paused and checked in with my emotions. Based on how I felt, I picked a color that represented that feeling. Here’s how the week went:

Day 1: Blue – Calm & Peaceful

I felt relaxed and peaceful, so I chose a soft blue shirt and jeans. The reactions? People said I looked “fresh” and “easy-going.” I felt calm all day.

Day 2: Red – Angry & Bold

I woke up irritated, so I threw on a bold red hoodie. Suddenly, I noticed more eye contact. A friend even said, “You look fiery today!” I felt powerful, but also a bit aggressive.

Day 3: Yellow – Happy & Energetic

Wearing yellow made me feel brighter. I was smiling more, and strangers smiled back. Yellow really lifted the mood of everyone around me!

Day 4: Black – Sad & Low

I felt down and chose black everything. People didn’t talk to me as much. One friend even asked if I was okay. I didn’t expect others to notice so quickly.

Day 5: Green – Balanced & Focused

Feeling grounded, I picked green. The day went smoothly. I stayed focused, and one co-worker said I seemed “zen.”

Day 6: Pink – Loving & Open

I wore a light pink top and felt gentle and kind. I received more compliments that day than any other. Pink seemed to invite warmth.

Day 7: Purple – Creative & Dreamy

Feeling artistic, I went with purple. I felt inspired and ended up journaling and painting later that evening. Purple brought out my creative side.

🤯 What I Learned from Wearing My Feelings

People react to colors—even if they don’t realize it. My energy changed based on the color I wore. Color can influence confidence, mood, and social response.

Letting my mood guide my outfit taught me to listen to myself more. Some days I changed how I felt just by changing the color I wore. Color became a secret superpower.

🎯 Would I Do It Again?

Absolutely. It made me more self-aware and connected to my emotions. Plus, it was fun! If you want to try something new that’s simple but powerful, dress in the color of your mood for a week. You might just learn something surprising about yourself.

🟢 Final Thoughts

Fashion isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling something. Next time you open your closet, don’t just ask, “What looks good?” Ask, “What color do I feel like today?”
