YOUR iPhone’s color may reveal more about your personality than you know.
One ‘color expert’, Matthew Reacher, has shared how a person’s personality traits may be gauged just by looking at the color of their iPhone.

“Cell phones were once mostly the same color, either black or white,” Reacher wrote in an article.
“Now people are able to express their tastes and personalities by choosing a phone or case color that reflects their temperament.”
And studies have actually shown that certain colors are preferred, and even associated with “good” or “bad” depending on one’s culture and life experiences.
“Color preferences are deeply rooted emotional responses that seem to lack any rational basis,” Dr. R. Douglas Fields, Ph.D., writes in Psychology Today.
“Yet the powerful influence of color rules our choices in everything from the food we eat and the clothes we wear to the cars we buy,” he added.
That said, it’s not impossible that the color of a person’s iPhone may reveal something about their personality, even if only subconsciously.
Here’s what the experts believe.
White
A person who has a white iPhone may be very clean or prefer clean things.

They may also be open, non-judgmental, and have especially high standards, Reacher said.
“White is associated with simplicity, which could suggest that’s what the owner is looking for,” he added.
Black
If you have a black iPhone, you may view your phone as simply functional.
The color black also seems to be associated with power, elegance, sophistication, and professionalism.
“Choosing black may be a desire for privacy and to be unseen, it could be a strong indicator of survival instincts at play,” Reacher said.
Blue
People who prefer the color blue may be reserved, calm, and conservative.
Blue is rarer for a phone color than black or white, Reacher noted, which may indicate a desire to be unique.
“If it’s a dark blue phone it would suggest they were not looking for attention and they may have some creative talents or tendencies,” Reacher added.
Red
Someone with a red iPhone may be energetic, competitive, lustful, impulsive, and aggressive, according to Reacher.
As red is an uncommon color choice for a device, it’s may indicate that the owner of a red iPhone is someone who likes attention.
Gold
Choosing a gold phone may illustrate that someone is seeking status, wealth, or knowledge.
Someone with a gold iPhone might also be very outgoing and socially astute.
“They want people to know they’re financially successful, and they have a passion for the luxurious things in life,” Reacher explained.
Pink
People who have a pink iPhone may be friendly, outgoing, affectionate, and emotionally expressive.
Pink tends to be associated with personality traits such as artistic, caring, and positive, Reacher noted.
“They’re also likely to be intuitive and idealistic in their thinking and ideas, not the most practical person.”
