Impressions

Lady In Red

hot blooded
swirls and whirls
snippy snaps
piss and vinegar

Lady In Blue

aloof and cool
smooth and demure
wooing coos
cotton candy liqueur

Lady In Beige

meek and mild
nonplussed and unfazed
a smile is reply
warm caramel glaze

Lady In Pink

hot to trot
Marilyn's daze
wispy sighs
a sparkling flambe

Lady In White

prim and proper
regal and stately
bright and refined
a dainty French pastry

Lady In Black

head strong and bold
raises all bars
savoir flaire
single malt and cigar

Interesting, the way you have related color with personalities and taste...which makes the title spot on..

all these "impressions" are strictly subjective of course
and I'm sure not all, if any, of the ladies will see it my way in the slightest.

I love your word choices.
They are palpable.
I share some of these associations and I wear specific colors depending on the mood of the day.
I love to wear pearl grey on a rainy and foggy days, to become one with the low clouds.
I love to wear silver on a night stroll along the river.
When I am bitter and angry I wear red.
Black and dark blue are default colors of choice.
But these days I spent more time on choosing what kind of ski I should take, powder or racing.
It is great to have you back. Just ffffantastic.

Geezer

in my mind, that color has an effect or the opposite, [affect has an effect on color]. I too, choose my colors based on my mental state and sometimes dress for effect. I like the way you have also included the food. It makes for a very interesting read. Food for thought, shall we say?

I, myself wear muted colors in the blue, green,purple or gray range
NEVER reds, pinks, orange or chartreuse...these induce an overwhelming self conscious feeling of "I feel goofy"...and we can't have that, can we!

thanks for appreciating some of my rhetorical sensibilities...that makes me feel lots " less goofier" too.
