What Color T-Shirt Did Jesus Wear?

There are people who study how different colors affect us ~ Chromotherapy and Colorology are two of many resources for this subject.

A friend of mine and his wife used to always wear black clothes ~ t-shirts mostly with jeans. When I first went to their house to see their newborn, I noticed that it was a sunny day and they had the blinds drawn and it was so dark in the living room, I thought that a seance was about to begin.

Both of them were nice people but they always had a lot of "challenges" and the glass was near close to being even 1/10th full. Actually, in their case, they would complain that ALL their glasses leaked and that they tried to return the set of glasses that they got for a wedding present but the store refused.
They portrayed themselves as victims at every turn.
The wife lost her job because of outrageous circumstances.
The husband was going to school and all his classes were a "waste of time".

Now I don't know why people are attracted to wearing the colors (or lack of color) that they do, but I do know that there are certain stereotype impressions that we get at first glance at someone who walks into a room, based just on the color they wear.

If you observed a woman wearing bright "island" type colors, is there a pre-disposition to thinking that she might be an extrovert? That she might be fun and able to easily laugh at your corny jokes?

And if a woman came in dressed in all black with a tattoo on both arms, you might come on another conclusion without speaking a word to her.

On a color therapy website, the following conclusions are evident:
Mood dressers are people who are in-tune with their emotions and dress accordingly. Do you feel pink today? Or, do you feel blue?
1. Wearing Blue - Serenity and Calm

* Creating a Serene Sacred Space
* Ways to Calm an Anxious Spirit


2. Wearing Gray or Black - Invisibility and Blending In
Wearing grays and blacks can be depressive.

Let's face it, black and gray are fashion basics. We all have the basic black suit or black dress slacks that are a must wear for a number of different social settings. Wearing black will allow you to keep a low-profile in social settings if that is your intention. Don't wear black if you want to stand out amidst a crowd. Most folks don't even bother to wear black at funerals anymore, it's just too sad to wear dreary and dark colors.


3. Wearing Green - Nurturing and Earthy

Green is considered to be one of the most healing among all the colors.

Because green is the color of trees and grasses it is a wonderful color choice to wear anytime you are wanting to feel more in-tune with nature. Green represents the Spring season and new growth.

4. Wearing Orange - Energetic and Creative
Orange urges you to get out into the world and create something grand! (author's note: some orange jackets worn by a nephew of mine is certainly an exception to this rule)

Orange is a very high energy color. Its creativity juices are extremely intoxicating and sweet tasting. Wearing orange is fun and can make you feel quite playful.

5. Wearing Pink - Open Heart
Wearing pink conveys compassion and an open heart.


6. Wearing Purple - Unique and Special
Wearing purple shows others that you want to be noticed.


7. Wearing Red - Powerful and Confident

Red can really pack a punch when needed. Ask any politician. Red is the favorite color of ties.


8. Wearing White - Fresh Outlook - New Beginnings
Wearing white will help reduce any nagging feelings of disappointment or drudge.

White represents cleansing and new beginnings.


9. Wearing Yellow - Cheerful and Happy
Yellow is the perfect color to wear whenever your spirits needs an uplift.

Yellow carries the same healing qualities associated with the sun. It offers warmth, optimism, and light. All shades of yellows and golds will cheer you up and help make you feel happier.

Now I am just a little curious as to why Jesus was usually depicted by artists as wearing white. Probably because of the climate where he was teaching, healing and changing water into wine.

But I'm thinking it might be that He read about color therapy.

Just a thought.
