I know from studying these that it takes more than one color to describe you, in fact there are probably quite a few colors that accurately represent them all. In fact, I would say that my personality changes with my mood, my physical location (meaning I am happier at home than at school), or the people around me. To properly display my personality, a full rainbow of loom band colors may be necessary.
My 9 year old son has taken the color meanings and made loom band bracelets using many colors. These are really great gifts as the present is not just the time spent making the craft but also the thought and meaning behind the color choices. For example, my son has a boy who is his best friend and so he made a bracelet with the colors black and red because he wanted to express that they were best friends and had a powerful friendship.
So maybe your favorite colors are orange and pink, or maybe you want to express that you feel confident and creative, either way have fun and start weaving with these color meanings and showing them off with rainbow loom band creations.
