Boost confidence by matching zodiac signs to their ‘power color’

Rachel Geronimo

Wearing colors that correlate with one’s zodiac sign is said to boost a person’s confidence. 

“Colors have actual, physiological effects on people. A lot of symbolism is involved in the different colors we associate with,” said Janet Fitzpatrick, lecturer in apparel, events and hospitality management. “For most people, those reactions are very subjective. It’s based on own personal experiences and personalities.” 

Astrologer Emily West said every color has a certain influence on a person’s psyche and has it’s own physiological meaning.

“You can make these inferences from your zodiac signs. Your sign portrays your personality which then relates to your type of ‘power color,’” West said.
