First Discussion Of The Blog: WHO Is The Color Cyan?
First discussion of the blog: WHO is the color Cyan?

In my project about "humanized" colors, color symbolism plays a HUGE role in how I write certain colors' personalities.
And because I am heavily biased, I've separated "Blue" into different hues: Cyan, Azure, Blue, and Indigo.
In the future I'd love to do a separate post on "Azure", but I'd love to get a general consensus on what specifically "Cyan" is to as many people as possible.
Or more specifically: Who? Who would "Cyan" be as a person?
Earlier in the year I made this poll, which generally agreed that Cyan is an Extrovert, in comparison to Blue being an Introvert:
![[A screenshot of a Tumblr poll that says:]
just look at them and tell me how you feel. don't associate them with preexisting characters, i just want to know "who" these colors in particular actually are to other people
["Cyan is extroverted, Blue is introverted" is winning. The next part of the description showcases the exact results.]
Cyan is extroverted, Blue is introverted
71.4%
Cyan is introverted, Blue is extroverted
14.3%
Both are introverts
0%
Both are extroverts
14.3%
(insert nuanced explanation on their personalities in tags)](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0e65d666c2aecbc62eacebba862289fd/ae9f73ac4fd9df7e-9b/s500x750/6f8d5ab05ed6b8308abde7ed4a6bb557b09b7e28.png)
I feel like there's generally some consensus that Cyan is more "energetic" than Blue; I've described it that Cyan is jumping directly into a frozen lake, and Blue is slowly freezing after being outside in the snow for too long, but both of them are "cold" feelings.
One thing I've also recognized, Cyan feels like it's most used in "youthful" marketing?
I've noticed specifically the most "Cyan" characters of all time (aka, characters who represent Cyan because they have another character in the cast that represents normal Blue), are both quite "cute" or perhaps even "childish" characters; specifically, Hatsune Miku and Cinnamoroll

I would love to have a discussion on "Who" the color Cyan is, to get a reference on what its color symbolism is.
I struggle with trying to pinpoint Cyan's ""personality"" without comparing it directly to other colors, especially in comparison to Blue.
Who is Cyan by themself? Who is Cyan in comparison to Blue in particular? What kind of personality would you associate with a character that's SPECIFICALLY Cyan-colored?
I would very much appreciate as much elaboration as possible!

Hi! I'm Atlas! You've reached my COLOR account!
I really like colors! Color symbolism, color psychology, color theory, I love learning about them all! They even influence my prized OC project, "Simulacrum Ultralight", my dream cartoon idea that's fueled a lot by my love for colors!
I can't possibly fuel my special interest in colors just on my main blog, especially because I love talking about them so much! But I also felt it was time for a dedicated blog for it, so I could make lots of polls about them too!
Otherwise, this blog will be an archive for all of the color-related posts I've reblogged (and eventually polls I want to make, for personal research!), and I hope you enjoy either way!

twitter has been losing its mind over this "choose your starter, artist" image that someone made- doing what the internet does and rehashing it over and over lol. I like how mine came out!
