Yellow

What Yellow says about you

Put you in an elevator with a stranger and by the fourth floor you know where they grew up. You find the funny part of almost anything, a dull afternoon near you tends to become a story, and you honestly believe things will work out. Pessimists find this annoying, mainly because you're so often right. Yellow is the brightest color on the wheel, and you have earned it.

Lifting a mood costs you no visible effort. You spot the person standing at the edge and pull them in, you celebrate a friend's win as loudly as your own, and you can turn stuffing envelopes into a competition. A bad day rarely keeps you down past lunch. That optimism isn't naive, either. It is a choice you keep making, and everyone nearby benefits.

Heavy topics are another story. The moment a conversation turns serious you reach for a joke, and your calendar holds five plans for Saturday because disappointing anybody feels unbearable. Once the fun part of a task is over, your attention leaves the building. It's okay to sit with a hard feeling for a while without fixing it. People who love your sunshine can cope with an overcast afternoon.
