Scientists are one step closer to cracking the code of
courtship — and the findings certainly aren’t black
and white.
British researchers polled a total of 1,128 female and
1,232 male adults from around the UK, all of whom
were in relationships, asking them if they remember
the outfit that their partner was wearing when they met
(92% did).
In addition, they were asked what color stood out for
them the most. When asked if the color had an impact
on how much they were attracted to them, 64% of
women and 69% of men said it did — with red being
most successful for women, and grey for men.
Here, are the results:
Top 5 colours worn by women in relationships on first
date
1. Red (27 per cent)
2. Blue (19 per cent)
3. Green (14 per cent)
4. Black (11 per cent)
5. Purple (8 per cent)
Top 5 colours worn by men in relationships on first
date
1. Grey (24 per cent)
2. Black (22 per cent)
3. Blue (16 per cent)
4. Green (8 per cent)
5. White (7 per cent)
Additionally, the Daily Mail reports that men say yellow
and brown are the colors most likely to put them off,
while women say a man in pink or yellow would turn
them off.
George Charles of vouchercodespro.co.uk, who
commissioned the research, explained the basis of
their study:
“Whilst it may well be considered fickle to base the
odds of a second date with someone on the colour
they choose to wear upon an initial meeting, the fact
is that we make our primary assessments of potential
partners extremely quickly,’ said , who commissioned
the research.”It is human nature to want to find
faults and imperfections within these individuals in
order to protect ourselves from hurt later down the
road.It therefore makes sense that before you really
get to know someone, fashion sense, and in
particular, clothing colour choice, is one of the first
things the brain will notice and evaluate for later
analysis of a rendezvous.”
Ladies, this new information means that it’s time to go shopping
