Krishna Das, my favorite musician, wears only red t-shirts and Steve Jobs was known for wearing only black turtlenecks. Could I possibly become known for wearing only…chartreuse? I read once that when you are drawn to a particular color it is because you need to incorporate that color’s properties into your aura.
