Matchmaker Maria Avgitidis highlights the impact of color choice on first dates. She suggests women wear green to attract compliments due to its associations with positivity and attractiveness. For men, lilac is recommended as it projects a friendly vibe, helping to create an approachable atmosphere. Conversely, Avgitidis warns against black, white, and gray shirts as they can inhibit romance, while advising brighter colors like blues and yellows. Additionally, red is viewed as too intense for initial meetings and should be avoided to foster connection.
This strategy makes sense in terms of color theory. Green is vibrant, it's welcoming, it literally means 'go' across cultures and it's associated with life, growth, luck, and health. Who wouldn't want to spend time with someone wordlessly exuding these characteristics?
Light purple generally gives off a friendly vibe, and women in particular like it when men seem approachable and safe - like they could be friends.
Wearing black is a missed opportunity to spark a positive feeling from someone you're just meeting. It's viewed as sophisticated but also dark.
Red is not the right color for a first date when you're just trying to get to know someone and potentially spark a connection.
