Built on Psychology, Not Just Genres
Our quiz is designed to get beneath the surface of your reading preferences — not by asking about favorite genres, but by exploring how you think, feel, and approach stories. We’ve blended insights from reader psychology, narrative theory, and thousands of book reviews and patterns to create a system that helps you find books you’ll actually finish — and love.
Every question is crafted to assess:
The emotional experience you want from reading.
The pacing and tone that keep you engaged.
The themes and characters that resonate most deeply with you.
The kind of payoff (adventure, emotional connection, insight) that makes a book satisfying for you.
At Read Your Color, we’ve developed eight distinct reader types, each represented by a color. These types are not just about what you read — but how you read.
Some readers crave fast-paced plots, others seek atmospheric worlds to get lost in. Some love deep character studies, while others want practical takeaways they can apply to life.
Each color reflects a different way of engaging with stories — whether you're an immersive Blue Reader, a relationship-driven Red Reader, or an idea-seeking Green Reader, there’s a type that captures your natural reading style.
WHy you keep reading the wrong books
If you’ve ever picked up a book everyone seems to love — only to abandon it halfway through — you’re not alone. Most readers don’t realize that what we enjoy in a book goes far beyond genre. It’s about pace, tone, character depth, emotional resonance, and even the way a story is told.
That's why reading recommendations from friends or social media don’t always work. You need books that align with your unique reading personality.
