Color associates are in every culture. White in some places can mean purity, but in others it can mean death and bad luck. But what about sex and colors? Here are some interesting tidbits that you might find interesting…
PASSIONATE PURPLE
Apparently, purple will pack some sexual punch into your bedroom.
One study by Littlewoods found that out of 2000 people found that people who had purple bedding (by their choice)had about 3.49 sex sessions per week. The next friskiest colors were…
- Red (3.18)
- Sky blue (3.14)
- Pink (3.02)
- Black (2.99)

GET-AWAY GREY
If purple is frisky, then grey it’s the sexual opposite. It might look posh in your living room or kitchen but in the bedroom, the same Littlewood study showed that people who have this hue in their bedroom also have the least amount of sex (around 1.8 times a week).
ASSOCIATIONS WITH GREY: Neutrality, staleness, depression, lack of emotion, solid, stable, functional sex, conservative, self-sufficient
BUCKSOME BLACK
You would think that Red would be the ultimate winner – and it certainly ranks near the top. However, a 2010 study by Dr. Beckmann says that red is a man’s least favorite undergarment color, whereas black was the general favorite. The funny thing? Most women buy red lingerie because they think their partner will like it.

RAVISHING RED
Black might be what people like to see underneath the clothes, but at first glance, red is the attention grabber. It brings out the attraction in heterosexual men. People give larger tips to waitresses wearing red. If a woman is wearing it, they can also be seen as more sexually receptive by the opposite sex (whether they actually are or not). You’ll also get longer looks if you wear red lipstick.

PRETTY PINK
Pink is all about unconditional love and intimacy. It’s a lustful red that is softened by white. It also might be a link to inexperience or naiveté – possibly intentional or just part of someone’s personality. People who love pink embrace their sensuality. Sex can be intense and wild but still deep. Since, when paired with stronger colors like black, it can be powerful in its own way (by cutting the strength of the bolder color).
