Certain zodiac signs are more compatible [1] with some than others, but a person's birthday colour can also reveal if they hold characteristics of a good partner [2]. Intuitive, astrologer, and numerologist Michele Bernhardt [3], looked to colourstrology (yes, it's a real thing [4]!) to assign a pantone colour to every date of the year. Using a combination of sun signs, ruling planets, numerology, and astrology, Bernhardt paired 366 days with a hue that best embodies the person born on that date.
We studied her book, colourstrology: What Your Birthday colour Says About You [5], and identified birthday colours with traits of an amazing significant other. Partner-oriented, loving, and romantic were just a few criteria we used. To see whether you or your partner stand, see if your birthday falls under the 18 colours below!
