The Melancholic Temperament has a compassionate and rather sad nature. It is BLUE, turning inward into the depths, with edges, curves and endurance - like its element, the Earth. The Choleric Temperament has an active and fiery nature.It is RED, jagged and sometimes sharp-edged. Its impulsiveness belongs to the element of Fire. The Phlegmatic Temperament is steady and content. It is GREEN and still like the surface of a pond. Its curves and soft shapes correspond to itselement, Water. The Sanguine Temperament radiates cheerfulness and optimism. It is YELLOW and shines from within, losing itself in the periphery or in the sky. Air is its element.
