What Each Color Says

Here is the quick cheat sheet for what each color tends to communicate when you wear it:

• Red: energy, passion, confidence, attention
• Blue: trust, calm, competence, reliability
• Black: authority, sophistication, a touch of distance
• White: freshness, simplicity, a clean slate
• Green: balance, growth, easy approachability

A fair warning: these meanings are shaped by culture and context, not hard biology. White means purity at a Western wedding and mourning in parts of Asia. Read the room, then choose.
