Word for someone who loves bright colours

English Language & Usage Asked by logeeks on April 18, 2021

How do we call a person having deep love towards bright colours (like he loves to wear very brightly-coloured clothes)?

6 Answers

I think this is best described as Colourful or Flamboyant?

There is no single word to refer to such a person. But you could get plenty of adjectives to refer to bright clothes, so you may use them appropriately in the sentence you want. Some of the adjectives:

  • garish
  • gaudy
  • vibrant
  • electric

The first two words are depreciative, the latter ones are rather descriptive. Your sentence could be:

He shows a preference for vibrant colours.

Chromatophilia is sometimes used for love of colour generally (alongside, e.g., melanophilia, xanthophilia, leukophilia as love of black, yellow, white, respectively), but doesn't emphasize bright colours in particular.

Augophilia, by contrast, is the love of bright lights, glare, or sunlight. So, it includes light, rather than just bright or glaring colour.

Maybe someone with sufficient Greek can suggest some coupling of the two ...

Actually i don't know if there is any word.. But as colors have different wavelength and our 3 cone cells see these long , medium and short wavelengths .. so the people who love colors with different wavelengts , i scientifically call them ...---

Simple naming of people who love different colours

  1. People who love short wavelength colours - S conicellulaexcitanda philic (S conecells stimulation philic)

  2. People who love medium wavelength colours - M conicellulaexcitanda philic ( M conecells stimulation philic )

3 . People who love long wavelength colours - L conicellulaexcitanda philic ( L conecells stimulation philic)

I am curious about this myself. Even as a young boy I have always been fascinated by different colored lights. Not clothing or paint, but lighting, both natural and artificial. I feel both energized and relaxed by a light show. I have wired multi-colored lighting into bookshelves and entertainment centers in my living room and during holidays I always set up appropriate colored lights around the house inside and out.

Heliophile: (n.) a lover of the sun. Photophile: (n.) a person who loves light.

If I had to pick one, I would lean toward a Photophile because it isn't just sunlight that interests me.But if anyone else has a better name, then I would love to hear it.

In the crossword puzzle sense, with more latitude in thinking, my guesses would be painter, writer, photographer, romantic, decorator, arsonist, and, someone with a schizotypal personality disorder (who likes to wear mixed-up colored clothing).
