Like many of us, I love associating colors with moods, experiences, emotions, memories, and more. Even without taking the time to ponder our associations actively, our experiences in nature, society, and culture have coded us to tie particular adjectives to colors - our brains love a shortcut!
Colors, of course, can have a wide variety of very different associations. Red can mean opposite things, love or anger; blue can conjure feelings of sadness or optimism; yellow can summon joy or anxiety. For this project, I have prioritized the playlist experience by narrowing the scope of sounds and emotions (mostly).
Red - Intense, Passionate, Bold.
Orange - Warm, Spirited, Fun.
Yellow - Optimistic, Joyful, Gentle.
Green - Natural, Prosperous, Welcoming.
Blue - Relaxed, Reflective, Adventurous.
Purple - Whimsical, Captivating, Opulent.
Pink - Playful, Sweet, Infatuated.
Black - Dark, Powerful, Mysterious.
White - Luminous, Positive, Transcendent.
Brown - Gritty, Strong, Rustic
I loved giving this a lot of time and energy and would love to hear your opinions and suggestions. These playlists are limited to my own knowledge and taste in music, but I am always open to expanding my horizons.
