I took the fast & fun interactive What’s Your COLOR ID Quiz on the Sherwin-Williams website. Click HERE to go take it for yourself.
My quiz results told me I am a Dreamer. A Dreamer is defined thusly:
I was further told that as a Dreamer I do the following:
Here is a screen shot of a few of the Sherwin-Williams colors that a Dreamer likes to see in her home.
Here is a photo of the wall in this particular Dreamer’s home office [or study if that’s what you want to call this room] where she is currently sitting. This wall is painted SW 7666 Fleur de Sel, one of the colors shown in the image above.
It’s not often that I take an online quiz and end up with results that I agree with 100%. In fact some of my previous posts [here & here] have been less than kind when discussing my quiz results, but for whatever reason, this time the quiz results made sense to me.
And with that I’ll end this pleasant post about knowing who I am by wishing you, my gentle readers, a Happy Weekend. May it be colorful in a way that pleases you and filled with sweet dreams ’til sunbeams find you.
I LOVE that song by the Mamas and Papas. One of my long time favourites!! Oh Mama Cass, your voice was magic 💕
… and I like that colour Fleur de Sel. I’m looking for a new colour for our bedroom. hmmm – I wonder if this would fly with Gilles?

I took the quizzes first on the older posts – I don’t remember how I did on the first one and I did bad at the emojis but for some reason, it didn’t display the emoji in Opera browser – I am not great at emojis anyway but I don’t use a smartphone and I really only use the smiley face on Facebook.

MINIMALIST
You enjoy what life has to offer and appreciate beauty in all things. You look to your home as a place to decompress and truly be you. Uncluttered, undisturbed. This is you. This is your Color ID.

Lacey, I’m glad you liked the quiz. You’re not alone here, there have been other Minimalists. In fact I’m married to one. I love the description of your personality and knowing that it fits you.

Ally, first of all, sorry I’ve been absent here. I can only give you the excuse of summer being way too busy.
I love your color palette, even though I tend toward bright colors, and the person that you are is one I always strive for – calm and optimistic. I could use some of that this week. 🙂

Mary, considering what you’re going through with your interviewees, I totally understand. Blogging is cool and fun and all that, but real life comes first. I like *my* color palette, too. Not enough to repaint the entire interior of the house, but nice colors.

Second time I took the quiz:
YOU ARE AN
ENTHUSIAST
Your interests take you far and wide. You immerse yourself in everything you do in order to experience life to the fullest. You’re your own person, open-minded and forever busy trying new things. This is you. This is your Color ID.
It was indeed the coffee table!

L. Marie, that darned coffee table has tripped up more people. I trust that you’re happier being described as an Enthusiast; nothing crunchy about that description.

Hello Ally. I like some of the names that were given to the colors. Stardew is a weird and excellent name. Secret Cove is right on the money. See ya!

Neil, yes I agree. Some of the names are wonderful, but others sound like someone opened a dictionary and randomly picked a word then slapped it on a color. Whatevs, you know…

I don’t usually take online quizzes, either, but I took this one, so I could play along. Mine said I was a nurturer. I’m not sure that is my color palette. Either I got it wrong or Sherwin Williams did. 🙂

Robin, thanks for playing along. There are a few other Nurturers here. I’m not sure how scientific this quiz is, nor do I think you’re required to only buy the colors on *your* palette, so I say nurture away with any color you like. 😊

Just saw this blog, and thank you. This was a lot of fun and I really needed some fun as things have been a bit serious of late. You know life. My color ID was naturalist and I have to laugh. It said I’m most at peace when surrounded by nature or walking along a rugged trail or just sitting in the sun. That is me, and coincidentally my new blog coming out this week is embracing that very issue for the most part! So I got to have another good laugh and I’ve now started my day on a whimsical note. Thank you Ally Bean.

Susan, I’m glad your quiz results made you happy. [Not everyone has embraced their personality types, like I have anything to do with the answers. 🙄] It is empowering to have a way to think about who you are and how you decorate your home/live your life. I look forward to reading your latest blog post knowing who you *really* are.

I love online quizzes–this one tells me I’m a Naturalist. Apparently I let the fresh air in! This is good to know. We all need a breath of fresh air. I’d say this is pretty spot on, although I also resonated with Dreamer, after reading your results. So I could go either way.

Kate, Naturalist is the most popular result so far. I thought the quiz was fun to do, but I also thought, for me, the results were accurate. Weird though, most of these quizzes leave me baffled.

Hi – I mean hello dreamer….
And I like your choice for the den/office
Last year – We went with a color called “granite dust” and I love it –
I took the quiz – it was fun… and I got the “minimalist”

Priorhouse, my husband is a Minimalist, too. Fleur de Sel is a light warm gray color with a hint of aqua in it. We find it easy to live with and I’m guessing your granite dust is the same. I like my walls neutral and my accessories colorful.

I think the granite dust is very similar and I do believe it is Sherman Williams –
And what is nice about it is that it sometimes is a bit more gray and other times a bit more blue – and it took one coat –
Reminds me as to how amazing modern paint is – low odor and some brands are such good quality
