Red is the New Pink

Carly Icon

When you think of Carly Phillips, what color do you think of? Yes, that’s right, it’s pink! I liked even my accessories to be pink (iPod, iPhone, computer cover, etc.) I went through a phase recently though – I tried to replace my favorite color with red.

Say it isn’t so!

Yes, folks, it is. Red plastic computer cover for my Macbook Pro, red rubber cover for my iPhone, and my Product Red Nano. And I adopted a new mantra – Red is the New Pink – as if to convince MYSELF.

… Uh, … No!
But something didn’t sit right with me.
And then I found a pink cover for my Macbook Pro. And I bought myself a big fat iPod Classic to hold all my photos and songs forever more, and I covered my phone and iPod with pink. And guess what?

All was right with the world! So I decided to find out what my favorite color Pink said about me:


What Your Favorite Color Pink Says About You:


Blissful — Content — Romantic
Idealistic — Expressive — Artistic
Funny — Quirky — Individualistic
What Does Your Favorite Color Say About You?

This obviously is true – on a normal day I AM blissful, content and romantic … Idealistic – Expressive – and Artistic – can someone say writer? And Funny (sometimes), Quirky (maybe not) and Individualistic (YES).

And during my RED phase:


What Your Favorite Color Red Says About You:


Ambitious — Energetic — Passionate
Spontaneous — Attractive — Inspiring
Seductive — Powerful — Addicting
What Does Your Favorite Color Say About You?

But this obviously wasn’t the real me. It was part me - I’m ambitious and attractive But I’m not energetic I don’t consider myself particularly passionate or spontaneous or inspiring or seductive, powerful or addicting. geez, what a list. Doesn’t belong to me. I think I borrowed it for awhile!

I’m definitely happy to have returned to my true color.

So what is your favorite color and what does it say about you? And is it true?
