**obfusciatrist** , I was curious so I did give them my email. Here’s what they say about black. > [@](#): > > Your color is black. The color of night.

I was surprised to find that I was also a Black. I thought that my love of all things New Yankee Workshop and This Old House related would render me plaid. ---

Blue here, too. That happens to be my favorite colour so I’m happy I agree with this part of the analysis. > [@](#): > > . Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you’d rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Keith ---

Another brown, and the description does fit. I would expect a lot of people who like the idea of fighting ignorance and came here by way of a trivia column would be browns. ---

Black here too, although I always thought I was a kinda pinkish tan. I wouldn’t sign up either. We’re standoffish, we are! ---

Your color is pink – the color of flamingos. You therefore prefer to have sex in groups of up to one million. Pink is also the color of the shirts rodeo clowns in Mexico wear, though what significance this portends, no one here knows. ---

You’re yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It’s hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won’t allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can’t get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you! Hmmm that is me definately. Anyone need any compliments? haha [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-true-color/47446.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-true-color/47446.md?page=3)
