Blue is often cited as the most popular color in the world due to its calming nature—and this relaxed feeling often translates to people who have blue as a favorite color.
"These individuals tend to prefer to be in a stable and consistent relationship; there tends to be a focus on trust," explains Michele Goldman, psychologist and Hope for Depression Research Foundation media advisor. "People who love blue are seen to be loyal and reliable."
Lisa Lawless, PhD, psychotherapist and CEO of Holistic Wisdom, adds that open and honest communication is likely to be a priority in relationships. But don't expect much in the way of spur-of-the-moment action.

Green represents nature, and as such, those who favor this color are often grounded and nurturing.
"They tend to be balanced between the heart and the head when making romantic decisions," says Goldman. "This translates to a partner who is considerate and contemplative and might feel very safe and level."
But if you're looking for a spontaneous or adventurous partner, "those who love green might not fit your desire," she adds.

All the experts we consulted agree that red represents passion. And people with this favorite color "are often emotionally energetic about their love life and may boldly show affection," says Lawless.
Rinaldi adds that red lovers are likely to seek out excitement and spontaneity in a relationship. But Goldman notes that sometimes all this fiery energy can feel like "too much" for a partner—however, their compassion and devotion usually win out.

When it comes to romance, people with the favorite color pink may be the ones to expect a real-life fairytale. And according to Lawless, their playful and optimistic nature means they just might get it.

"Purple is associated with loyalty, passion, self-empowerment, individuality, and a strong sense of self-worth," explains Goldman.
Rinaldi adds that these often-creative people may seek out partners whom they connect with both emotionally and intellectually, as well as "someone who appreciates their unique qualities and supports their growth."
Goldman also says that purple lovers are likely to exhibit these same qualities in return. "Individuals who trend towards this color will be highly encouraging to their partners; they will advocate [for them] to be strong and independent."
Orange

According to color psychology, orange is one of the least-liked colors.
Therefore, those who love this hue "tend to be more adventurous and spontaneous, which can translate to romantic getaways, fun date nights, and energized conversations," Goldman explains.
Lawless adds that people who favor orange may exude a natural warmth and seek out social connections with other couples.

They probably won't take things too seriously and will meet the hard times with a playful and positive attitude.
