What it might say about you? Your character? Your style? ... I know I do. A lot goes into color coordination, and choosing the right shades that reflect on your own personality. If you know what I'm talking about, here's a quick chart to help you find out what color best suits you.

  1. I love this basic setup with title and description, but the text is a little crushed together and difficult to read.

  2. I like this chart a lot. And I like colors a lot. I like the colors in the picture, so maybe you could've incorporated it into the table somehow. Maybe accent the word of the color with that specific color. Also, maybe stretch out the table a bit? The text seems pinched in the boxes, so by stretching it out, it could be a little bit easier to read. =)
