The relation of selected physical and personality characteristics to color preferences for clothing
The aim of the study was to explore the possibility of relationships
existing between the warmth and coolness of personal
coloring, certain personality characteristics, and the choice of
warmth or coolness in colors to be used for clothing.
A review of the literature dealing with color preferences indicated
that one group of individuals generally preferred warm, bright
and intense colors, while another group preferred cool, dull colors.
Furthermore, leading authorities in clothing selection suggested
that individuals with warm coloring should select warm colors for
personal enhancement, while those with cool coloring should select
cool colors. There were also reports from research which indicated
that individuals who were more outgoing, forward, warm, sociable,
and extroverted were found to select warm, bright colors, while
others who were more calm, quiet, cool, passive, and introverted
selected cool, dull colors. It was, therefore concluded that there
might be an interaction between personal coloring, personality, and
color preference.
In order to investigate these relationships a method was developed
for the comparison of personal coloring to Munsell hues. These
hues were divided into warm and cool tones of skin, eye, and hair
color as well as into blonde and brunette hair coloring classifications.
One hundred young women who met the standards set for the
four personal coloring classifications - warm blonde, cool blonde,
warm brunette, and cool brunette - were selected from the student
population at the University. They were presented with three color
preference tests which were designed to force a choice between a
warm and a cool color fan and between a warm and a cool tone of
two groups of six colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and
purple. They were asked to select the colors which they would prefer
to have for their own clothing.
The subjects were also presented with Cattell's 16 Personality
Factor Test, from which the scores on factors A, C, F, and
H were measured. These factors represented personality characteristics
that were described as outgoing, forward, warm, emotional,
happy-go-lucky, expressive, adventurous, active, and responsive
versus reserved, cool, emotionally stable, calm, sober,
serious, shy, and restrained. Some of these descriptive terms
were found by other investigators to be associated with warm or cool
colors.
The analysis of the data collected revealed that, for the subjects
in this study, the warmth or coolness of personal coloring was,
in some instances, related to the choice of warmth or coolness in
colors to be used for clothing. The difference in preferences between
subjects warm in coloring and cool in coloring was found to give
highly significant F ratios. A high percentage of the subjects who
were cool in coloring selected the fan of cool colors and also selected
more cool tones than warm tones of the colors red, green, blue,
and purple. Almost one-half of the subjects who were warm in
coloring selected the fan of warm colors. On the other tests
slightly over one-half of the choices made by the warm subjects were for warm tones of the color; however, the warm tones of the
cool colors were preferred less often than the cool tones. Hair
coloring had little or no influence on the selection of warmth and
coolness in colors although brunette subjects with warm coloring
consistently selected a higher percentage of warmth in colors, with
the exception of red, than did any other group.
It was found that the warmth or coolness of personal coloring
was not related to the personality characteristics measured, nor
were there any significant relationships between the warmth and
coolness of personal coloring, personality, and color preference.
It was, therefore, concluded that for the subjects of this study
the warmth and coolness of personal coloring was the only factor
that had any relation to the preference for warmth and coolness in
colors to be used for clothing
