Color





**My favorite color is purple.** Purple represents intelligence, art, luxury, fantasy, femininity, solemnity, ambition, beauty, independence, grace and creativity, among other traits are the negative ones such as arrogance, cruelty, conflict, sadness and loneliness. I like purple very much because it´s not a basic color, it is a combination of two primary colors (blue and red) and that makes it more complex. It is also the color that represents the season of Lent, a major celebration for us Catholics; it is the season of repentance and penance. The purple to me represents peace and harmony. It is a little difficult to combine with other colors, however, with this color we can get some original and unusual contrasts, for example with some shades of green, blue and white. The purple represents my personality in many of its positive and negative traits. I am ambitious, independent, creative, feminine, intelligent, dreamy, melancholy and quiet. Sometimes, I am pretty cruel, sarcastic and arrogant with people. In my opinion, these features seem contradictory. The discrepancy between positive and negative traits which characterize me (a person quiet and peaceful and at the same time aggressive and cruel) is given by the mixture of colors that creates purple, which combines both the characteristics of red and blue; the aggressiveness of the first one with the calmness of the other one.
