Red: Strength/Strong, a very passionate person, a sponge
Reds symbolize strength and passion. They are the strongest color. The color Red itself has the longest wavelength of all the colors, therefore allowing it to be seen longest and strongest. At some point, a Red will absorb each of the other colors. They are, in that sense, the only color who will “travel” or “go through” each of the other colors on their color journey.
A Red’s ultimate “color goal” is to become a Purple.
Strengths: Reds are driven. They act quickly, getting jobs done in a timely and efficient manner. Reds have a strong outward show of confidence, and can tend to be intimidating to other colors without meaning to do so. They are willing to go anywhere and do anything. They love life, and are usually passionate in both their relationships as well as their line(s) of work. They willingly get along with any other color at any time, connect well with Blues, and gravitate most to Purples. They are very encouraging, often gift-givers, and usually make great teachers. They are fiercely loyal and will not tolerate bullying behavior or anything that threatens their family or close friends.
Weaknesses: Red’s are often headstrong, and many have severe tempers. The ironic thing is that self-confidence is the thing a Red struggles with most, and is often a Red’s greatest downfall. Red’s are extremely self-conscious and often spend most of their lives being people-pleasers. Red’s can be discouraged very easily, and often waste many years of their lives trying to be what they think everyone else wants them to be before they finally realize they are free to be their OWN person.
