🖍️ The meaning of red: what your choice of color says about you

🖍️ The meaning of red: what your choice of color says about you

 

Coloring is not just filling in empty spaces, it is a window into your inner world.

In art therapy, the colors we choose can say a lot about our emotional state, personality, and subconscious needs.

🔥 When red dominates your coloring

If red is constantly used in drawings or fills large areas, it may mean:

  • Internal tension or conflict
  • Need for emotional release
  • Unspoken anger or intense energy
  • Desire for action, change, or attention

But it's not always negative — red can also mean that you are in a creative surge, feeling powerful, or reclaiming space.

🧘 What to do if red appears frequently

Don't avoid it — listen to it. Coloring is not about controlling emotions, but expressing them.

If you see red frequently:

  • Think about where you feel pressure in your life
  • Let coloring release that energy instead of holding it in
  • Try adding additional colors, such as blue (calm) or green (balance), to find inner harmony

✨ Color as self-discovery

The colors you choose are not good or bad — they are information.

They reveal what words often hide. And through coloring, you give your emotions a form that can be gently observed, understood, and transformed.
