- What The Colors You Wear Say About You.

Color is a fascinating tool that can communicate so much without you even saying a word. By understanding color psychology, you can use it intentionally to influence the way people think and feel about you, and even impact how you feel about yourself. Hope you enjoy this video as much as I did making it!

Was looking for this comment
thanks bro
all of this is bs its just colors
i wear an orange hoodie like EVERY DAY for school, but im still an introvert what do i do
Thank you
I like that you are going much deeper into fashion rather than just showing outfits by season. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Jackson! Glad to hear you're enjoying the content.
@@TimDessaintThanks Tim nice to know btw you seem like a cool guy keep up the content bro
@@TimDessaint okay if I'm hearing this right it's all about outer apearens
@@TimDessaint 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔...............
i am always curious about how you create your script.
by yourself or outsoursed to others ?
As a writer and character designer, it's interesting how well most of my characters wardrobes fit this. Most of my characters have a reoccurring color in their wardrobe and throughout this whole video, whenever the color a particular character wears the most came up I was like "yup that's definitely so-and-so" in terms of their personality and the impressions they strive to give off.
Hey, I'll start studying graphic design(includes character design and animation) this september and I wanna know if it's easy to find a well paying job? It has always been my passion since I was little and I'm finally making it come true but I'm also scared if I'll be able to pull it off or not.
@@SleepyAaa Hey, sorry. I'm not exactly a professional writer and character designer yet. I'm still trying to find my way in too. I wish you the best of luck. Never give up on your dreams! We'll get there some day.
I’m watching this vid purely because I’m a writer and artist and don’t understand color theory at all lol
6:15 "White suggests that you're VERY CAREFUL WITH KETCHUP" Smooth bro. Smooth. 🍅🍅
Be careful about color psychology, associations we make with colors -- Different cultures can have either drastically different or subtly similar meanings they associate with a given color, and the boundaries for color names can also differ from culture to culture. Just because it means a few things in your own culture doesn't mean it will be those in another culture. Also beware of thinking you've thought of all the associations, even in your own language or culture. For example, is red active, energetic, or is it bloody and violent, or is it ripe fruit or a danger signal or a stop sign? It may mean any of those things, even for English-speaking people. Is a color really masculine or feminine, or is that a cultural thing, or only from a few generations ago? Its a color or palette youthful or elderly? There are all sorts of variables.
Also brown could be associated with shit
Yeah, it even ranges from person to person as well. I know for a fact that certain colour choices for clothing tell my subconscious brain to stay away. Colours like beige, any pastel colour or yellow do that for me and I don’t understand why. Something in my brain tells me those colours come with negative experiences. Usually I won’t judge someone for wearing those colours too harshly, I just proceed with caution. So, wear whatever colour combo you want because results will vary.
While this is true, there ARE some associations of color that are universal. Every culture associates green with nature, every culture associates red with blood, every culture associates blue with the sky and the sea. So I'd argue that cultural differences apply mostly to non-primary colors, where the associations are weaker and can depend more on the specific circumstances. For example, there are few yellow things around us, so do you associate yellow more with flowers, the sun, gold? Do you associate white with snow or with the clouds? Do you associate orange with a sunset or with fruit? Do you associate pink with human lips (this is also a matter of skin color) or with Sakura petals? Those are the things that vary wildly between cultures.
I think this whole video is bullshit, it falls into the same category of tests that were written for specific racial groups. Its very similar to the sloppy thinking of "anyone who folds their arms is closed off, ah no, they might also be cold... yawn youtube is starting to be all bland content that is not really novel or interesting. People drawing unnecessary distinctions on topics which barely matter.
I agree! In Germany, for example, wearing brown is seen as controversial, since that color is associated with Naziism. In China, green is considered untrustworthy (the green hat symbolizes cheating on a partner).
The colors you wear truly do have an impact. I work for a company that required all of its field employees to wear white pants. Prior to getting the job we were made to watch a video. In the video we watched, employees walk up to the door of a prospective customer with regular clothes on and most of them got turned away. But in the same video when we watched an employee with white pants approach the door, nine out of ten of these employees were invited into the home. The research in the video show that when people wear white clothes they are more trusted than people who don't. I found that to be pretty valuable information.
I love this kind of stuff!
My wardrobe obviously has the neutral grey, black and white mixed within it.
But for the other colours I mostly wear Brown, Blue, and Green.
I LOVE Yellow and Orange, but I only have a few items of them. I also prefer the warmer, most rustic oranges, and the deeper, golden-brown yellows, like the examples from 3:01-3:04 in this video.
I've tried purple, red, and pink at times, but they don't do as much for me. Although anytime I've worn red, people definitely seem to compliment me more and tell me it suites me. I found that interesting.
As a graphic designer... I studied color psychology deeply and always used it in fashion.. and I'm super happy that you're telling people about it and telling them how to integrate it into their fashion life... top tier. well done Tim 💪
Bro studied colors 💀💀💀
@@himydude4855 yes I did lol😂
@@AhmedMohamedSAM 💀💀🥰🥰🥰🥰😘🤗🤗😳😭😂😳😳😳
@@AhmedMohamedSAM Would you agree with this video's assesment of colors?
@@DeepInside9Yes, maybe I'd add more information that I think would be important and helpful, but the information in the video is quite correct. I definitely agree)
I think, brown + white is a great combination of colours for a formal suite, it looks kinda oldschool, mature and also helps to avoid the filling of authority and coldness most classical suit colours give
True! But giving off an authority vibe can be the right move sometimes too!
Most of my outfits are "white brown", "brown black" "brown navy" most of my pants are brown, beige and green, while shirts are black, grey, white or colourful
Brown is an ugly color for anything but boots.
@@StudleyDuderight most untrue statement ever made
@@StudleyDuderight Yeah, it's bad for skin too! - 👴🏼
What an insightful and very...colorful video this was! I love combining colors together, because it shows that creativity was put into it. My two favorite colors have always been red and yellow, because of how warm and positive they can be. Being someone that dresses well a majority of the time, I think that color plays a huge role in the things we wear. It shows who we are, for sure. :) 🎨
Or you know, people wear whatever color they like
but there's always a reason for us to like certain colours, even if it's for a short time
@@1minime2 Sure, liking certain colors is one thing. People wearing clothes is a different thing. While there definitely are some people who’s clothes are mostly one color, many people have a variety of colors.
Also, people have different reasons for liking certain colors. For example it could be the color of their favorite team, the color of room in a house they grew up in, because others don’t like it as much, etc.
@@1minime2I really don't. I don't recall a single individual color my family or friends worn yesterday. I remember having fun at a festival.
For real though
Yes
One famous artist said that :
THERE IS NO UGLY COLOR, THE COLOR ONLY BECOMES UGLY COLOR WHEN YOU PUT IT IN A WRONG COMBINATION OF COLORS.
So the right enough scale and balance combination of colors is the most important for artistic stuff including fashion.
Was it an Austrian painter who failed art school?
@Gilded_Zephyr no, he like blue, white and blonde
@@johnmurcott1273You meant red, black white right?
@@maxl8888 ahaha
I present to you Dark Yellow
“Blue is a great color to wear on your first date when you’re trying to show them you’re trustworthy.”
…meanwhile you are trying to manipulate their subconscious 😂
Or you feel trustworthy and want them to feel that right away
Well many perspective to look at things
funny ha ha 😐
@@ghost_of_a_dead_poet No. You a pos.
Facile. Anyone going on a date thinks about what to wear, precisely to make a good impression.
If not, what's the purpose of the date?
man i'm just trying to stay warm. but this is incredibly good to know why i've been sad or easily disgruntled
I finally understand why I like brown, green, and black so much so thank you😊
Color psychology has always been an interest of mine.
I like wearing different colors based on my mood, the weather, etc. Yellow, red or orange on sunny days; purple or green when wanting to mix things up. Blue is always a good color to wear; grey, white and black are particularly ideal in a work/business environment. And like they say, your clothing style says a lot about your character.
How should I dress going to gym?
and office?
As a guy
@@lavatr8322 I would think any kind of loose fitting clothing is best for the gym. I personally go with a tank top, shorts and running shoes. As for the office, that would really depend on the dress code requirements of where you work.
The effort put into this video is top-tier! Loving this Tim 💪
Yeah 😊 fun fact about me is my favorite color is magenta 💜💗 BUT HECK I GOOD IN GREEN!💚
My whole life, I thought what was considered "fashion" was just random. Now I see there are many more aspects to it than I thought
I tend to wear blue and grey most often and the descriptions of those color meanings really fit me
watching this video taught me more about color theory than all those years studying graphic design in college. awesome video!
Grey and purple is one of my favorites. Grey turtleneck with a purple sport coat, great combination for the right skin tone and setting, would recommend.
A long, long, time ago when I got involved in doing window display I learned about color, designing, and combinations, this presentation just reminded me about that most learned experience, many thanks.
i thought this would be some sort of MVPerry video, but this was way better, very informational and straight to the point, good job!
Finally a video with some color and not just black and white outfits haha. More like this please!
Bro criminals be taking notes on what to wear: 🌈🌈🔵🔴🔴🟢🟢🟣
Very happy to see people talking about color theory in fashion! My next suggestion would be to maybe do another segment on this but talking about how the different colors interact with each other to essentially tell a story. It was one of my favorite topics in design school and it would be great for that knowledge to be talked about more in the general fashion space!
Ohhh this sounds really interesting, I've never heard of that! Can you tell me more about it?
as someone who's fashion sense consist of primarily 2 superdry hoodies (an orange one and a gray one with light blue sleeves) i feel like i pull off the look of both really well while also making myself feel comfortable with how i look. Great video nonetheless!!
To me I do not give a sh*t about what I wear…aslong as it is not filthy or uncomfortable.
5:25 I view the world through a Black, White, Brown, Beige & Gray lens 👁️🥷🏾🦅🦾🏍️🪩✌🏾
Tim, what an incredibly well put together video, everything from all the research and knowledge behind it to the overall aesthetic & editing! honestly mate, incredible top tier work 👏👏!
Thank you Nathan! Appreciate it 🙏
@@TimDessaintWhy is it you can sense when someone’s staring at you?
Very well put together video of color psychology. I wonder though if other viewers go through different color phases in their lives? I've cycled through reds, greys, browns, blacks and now am really gravitating towards the color purple. And colors that complement it well such as pink.
Hmm well this actually helped with my party and us deciding our colors for our characters in dnd. I know that is a weird connection but we are all artsy and it’s a story and roleplay heavy game. This means character art means a lot to us and since clothes actually have a role in the storytelling, we were careful about choosing them. My own character has a palate of mostly blue and brown and their eyes are green. The main pop of color outside of all this is a set of long red tassel earrings.
Another player’s character who contrasts my own as a foil uses the main color of red and accents of black and grays.
Our cleric went with white with accents of black.
The rest can’t really settle on their palate and are still exploring it so I sent them this and they said it helped. Actually after watching this I feel it helped explain why each of us who had already chosen, selected the palate we had for the characters we play. Thanks for the video!
The clothes we wear speaks a message and can even tell a story.
Yep. I personally lean toward earth tones with my clothing and well..I enjoy the outdoors! 🌲 🏔 🍂
The basics are often the most important in all aspects of life, fashion included. Fantastic video on the most important aspect of fashion, color.
I love your editing style, really great
I am so glad i remembered to watch videos like these before getting to design outfits for characters, i will have this kind of videos in mind
The psychology of color is something i knew about but didn't know i actually needed to hear. This was amazing!
When I was married, my narc husband used to wear a lot of deep greens and browns.. After our divorce, I was surprised to see him wearing a lot of bright red. Because he had red hair and freckles, I thought this odd. He also started wearing very bright, bold electric blue which he had never worn in our 2 decades of marriage. Because there are so many different shades of blue, it would be helpful to subcategorize these. Some are restful and peaceful, and some are very bold and powerful. Just because it's blue doesn't evoke the same feeling.
I did the same, with my wardrobe after my controlling boyfriend left. I still don't know why I made such drastic changes.
I wear A lot of black and purple and white.For the purple part I get called "creative" a lot. And purple and black are my favorite colors. I get called "professional" by the black and white part.
As an artist this really helps me with the work I'm doing. Which kind of mood and backgrounds I use for the color. I think this is really handy in general.
I actually never thought about color theory, but I took a look at my wardrobe and see. Just wow how fucking spot on you were. I'm going to test some of the combos I don't usually wear and see what happens. Thanks bud.
Tim’s videos were already great, now he’s stepping it up even further 💯
Please know that I’m learning a lot because of you. Keep up the good work! 👍
As an Artist who likes to understand and teach color theory to others, This is the best video I have seen it for it!
0:01 bro named himself jeb_
The quality of the video edit and content is so so good - loved this!!
Your videos just keep inspiring me to dress more intentionally. Love this!
I wasn't really that into fashion before but watching this video really sparked a new found love for fashion!
I love how the most replayed part is the beginning of black.
I also skipped straight to it lol
I wore myself out wearing red and black! And all sorts of colors 10+ years back! Tryna bring back color without the shock! Thanks for the insights!
ur videos are so satisfying to watch I just recently started getting into fashion and this really helps when deciding on outfits to wear everyday :)
I wear yellow a lot and those descriptions are on spot-
Heya Tim Bro! Your vids are getting better and better. Keep up the great work and loving your insights and expertise to be a better dressed version of myself! Thanks heaps for your hard work!
Amazing summary! A great book to get more in depth in this subject is Eva Heller's Psichology of Colour. She explores a TON of historical and sociological meanings of all 12 hues, each with its own chapter. Really excellent resource :)
Thank you so much for recommending!
"Red is the most competitive color", this may be true, but many of the teams who have won the FIFA World Cup (which is the most competitive football tournament) such as Italy, Argentina, France, and Uruguay have worn blue as their primary shirt color. In fact, 13 of the 22 World Cup winning shirts have had blue as their primary color, meanwhile only 1 winning shirt was primarily red (England '66). And Brazil has the most World Cup victories with their home shirt being yellow. So...when it comes to sports teams, I'll stick to those in blue ;)
For those of us with warm, olive-toned skin, wearing white is a good way to make us look dead... lol. Please go with ivory.

This bro never dissappoints.
Great work Tim 👊
for anyone else in the comments, consider how colors can be connotated by people's experience in life.
for example, in my own life, purple represents control. it's a color i found quite fondly, and in my own use of computers, when something is purple, it's because i intentionally made it that way.
i picked that because it can be comforting and bold in the same breath, and by just changing the brightness you can pull the strings to make it do exactly what you need it to in any given context
it means something different to me, so clearly different colors can mean different things to different people, apart from all these general connotations
I like the in-depth description of the choice of colour wear.
Beyond fascinating. Thank you for this video. Its applicable to make up as well
SICK VIDEO. next level. Tim. You and your team keep outdoing yourself. 👏🏼
The effort, quality and editing that is done in this video is fantastic. Thank you tim and crew
I always tend to wear plaid designs of warm colors mixed with brown, but never had good ideas for pant colors. This helps.
This channel is everything 😩
Absolutely loved this video! As I have started to dabble in the fashion world, videos like this really help clear things up and present new ideas. Also, your videos always put me in a good mood and have such a calming effect. Love the vibes. Stay well man.
I love beige and browns. Great work on this video
I am 13 and my style is usually a blue sleeveless hoodie with a yellow shirt inside and khaki/beige cargo shorts.
thank you for starting with my favorite color blue 🔵🟦🔷🔹📘
I could see the hard work put into this vid. Makes me want to go put a fit on and go out!!!
Red = Power
Black = Funeral 😂💀
I'm so glad I got this video recommended
My favorite color is orange. I wear that a lot. So I guess I have enthusiasm, warmth, and playfulness! I love that.
Truly an insightful and interesting video - as an artist, discussing colour is always fascinating and this video really helped me take another look at colours!
Keep up the good work! :-)
This is super interesting. I wonder how personality would play in to this? If you already have a cheerful personality, I wonder if that would contrast well with a more calm vibe like green or blue?
I'm gonna use this for designing my own original characters to be iconic, recognizable, and expressive in their outfits
My boyfriend is 95% grey, blue and brown. I even gave him my dark blue umbrella, which didn’t fit my own palette.
I curate my palette around greens, with accents of deep reds or rich yellows. Belt, handbag, gloves, shoes…. are black. I have a personal aversion to brown and blue; dunno what came over me the day I got that blue umbrella.
The editing and research put into this vid 👏 mucho bravo
LOVED THIS! I love color psychology and this video was so concise and packed with info. It was also such a nice surprise to see me and my purple sweater thrown in :)
I had to come back..after reading the many negative comments. You hit a nerve. !!! I'm going to try your advice and I subscribed.
This is a really good video on this topic! It is a great example of impactful reminding of what is known.(the best way I could describe the feeling it gave me)
Saved this vid for wardrobe and clolor theme purposes later!
GGs and o7s
Great video as a Brit I died inside at Dur-ham though
Amazing video. It is incredibly interesting to see what colors contribute to a fit. I learned a lot by watching this and as usual you're explaining everything in a way that just lifts my mood. Thanks Tim!
All I wear is a black t-shirt with beige pants. Thanks for the insights!
As an art student this was perfect for me!
Was interested in what you was going to say about pink since I've been enjoying that colour lately and get compliments when wearing it. I do try to be empathetic in my daily life so maybe it's been a good way to express how I feel inside. Definitely saving this video. Another banger from you Tim, thanks!
I really enjoyed this, actually.. This should be used as part of a consumer behavior course, plus u have good presentation voice too👍👍
Texture and appearance is a big part of it too.
Blue jeans may say one thing but torn up blue jeans say something completely different even though they are the same color blue jeans.
This keeps popping up for some reason, but I am so glad I don't waist my time with worrying about what people think.
Very informative video and great editing as well!
Most people wear jeans.
Indigo is the traditional color for jeans.
Are you saying most people in the current era are actually STABLE since they wear typical jeans? I have statistics that invalidate that point...
This video makes me want to update my wardrobe.
To be honest, I like all colors & it varies on how you use them, combinations, or infused them to make.. A Work of Art. 🎨 🎭😹😸
As an introvert, I approve of this message 5:40
after watching quite a few videos on your channel, I ordered the infamous Uniqlo U Airism Oversized T and its one of the coolest and most versatile pieces I own. literally.
does the neckline stay intact after a few wears or washes?
@@JustysFrank definitely. I’ve known the brand for a while but just never shop for pieces from there. I will definitely be checking more products out in the future
@@i.am.je_music all I have is a now discontinued corduroy work shirt which I love, but I have been looking for cheap tees where the neckline holds after some time. will try a few thanks
Now I understand why I love black so much. I am somewhat of an introvert. Thanks for making that clear.
I wear light blue, red and black alot watching this is quite interesting on my look on colours
Orange:
What Tim sees: enthusiasm, strength
What I see: Orange
Love this and ive tried to find personal color palette now can use this too
When the meanings of the colors are changed.
When I was studying the meanings of colors were:
blue - love;
red - aggression;
yellow - enlightenment and jealousy;
green - nature, optimism, stability;
orange - ambition and enthusiasm;
purple - luxury, arrogance;
pink - tenderness, submission;
black - sadness, inconsolation, depression, anxiety, but also elegance and power;
white - purity, simplicity, coldness;
brown - stability, independence, stubbornness;
gray - neutrality, formality, professionalism, maturity
my rule is always black pants or shorts plus any color shirt (not pink or purple) sometimes, a style of light colored cargo pants with a black shirt, sometimes all black. In my characters i could just mix a green tunic with brown leather armor over it and a red scarf, also black pants and red shoes with white soles... Looks cool!
