Do Soft Colours Bring You Joy?

If you find joy in soft colours you probably have a wonderful way of balancing femininity and a strong drive to achieve (even if you don’t yet know it).

Soft colours can get quite close to gray sometimes, which means you may actually find it hard to find “colours” you like instead gravitating to gray. Often though if you look hard at these grays some of them will be more blue or green or purple, meaning they are actually colours.

If mixing all different shades of gray is your thing, the soft palette may be filled with colours you love.
