Full Version: 4400 Question
I have only noticed blue being used alot especially in season 2.
I noticed a lot of Greens in season 3 and 4.
Hi Bubba here, I haven't noticed it.
Cassie certainly wore alot of purple!
It's hard not to notice the colors.
Grays in season 1
Blues mostly in season 2 & 3
Greens in season 3
Purples in season 4
It's fun to notice colors.

Deezigns, I've been trying to figure that out too. Seems like almost everybody at the 4400 center is wearing purple, mostly shirts. Got to be a reason!
Our reaction to color is almost instantaneous and has a profound impact on the choices we make everyday.
This lens is a quick look at general responses to colors based on research, historical significance of color and word association studies.
I have also included links to color personality tests that may give you some insight into your own color associations as well as how you react to different colors.
Meaning of the Color Blue
Blue is the overwhelming "favorite color." Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed. The color of sky and the ocean, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. As the collective color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming; however not all blues are serene and sedate. Electric or brilliant blues become dynamic and dramatic, an engaging color that expresses exhilaration. Some shades or the overuse of blue may come across as cold or uncaring. Blue is the least "gender specific" color, having equal appeal to both men and women.
How the color blue effects us physically and mentally
* Calming and sedate
* Cooling
* Aids intuition

Meaning of the Color Green
Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world that is an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere. The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology. However, there is an "institutional" side to green, associated with illness or Government-issued that conjure up negative emotions as do the "slimy" or bilious greens.

Color Quiz

MY RESULTS:
YELLOW is Your Color
You are quite the powerful thinker. It's this talent that allows you to overcome a plethora of great obstacles. Luckily, this doesn't affect your ego and you give off a pretty easy-going appearance. You enjoy the finer things in life and also have an attraction to art. If you can help it, you try not to rock the boat. But you also can't stop yourself from searching for new ideas, methods or styles.
This is the result given based of my answers to the color quiz. Why not find out what color you are?

Color Personality Test
from Better Homes & Gardens
Interestingly enough I came up as Yellow on this test too. My son has a different personality which resulted in green (which by the way is his favorite color).
MY SON'S RESULTS:
Your color personality is: GREEN
It sounds like the hue you most relate to is green -- the color most evocative of nature. Adjectives such as kind, gentle, and contemplative likely describe you. You enjoy being involved with your neighbors and coworkers, but you also require plenty of time to yourself to recharge.
You are social yet introverted, and modern but not trendy. Surround yourself with your signature color to create a restful, soothing environment. From sage to hunter, green can work well in virtually every room of your house. Use it generously to create a haven you'll love coming home to.
A fun color test but I'll warn you that the BH&G site has many annoying pop-up ads. If you can put up with that then take the test for yourself.

As for the original poster of this thread, I, like Bubba have not noticed any particular reoccurence of purple in Season 4, Except for Cassie, and I am sure wardrobe just liked the way it made her hair stand out.
