    Every time I take this test I’m surprised at the colors I choose. I’m also surprised at the accuracy of the test.

    I think my color choices are pretty consistent (warm to cool) but the results (accurate!) change a little each time…

    Stress: You have a strong desire to be free and uninhibited but you struggle to restrain these desires and maintain a rational and consistent life-style.
