The options are seemingly endless–not sure where to turn? Read on for our absolutely exhausting quiz to learn which color is perfect for you based on every single relevant facet of your personality.

As you go through the following set of questions, we recommend keeping track of how many answers you get of each letter–the results will be based on the letter you identify the most closely with:  

What does your ideal day look like?

1. Doing a light tidying up while catching up with a friend on the phone, selecting the perfect outfit to meet up with a friend or two for a long walk and chat that goes on for hours effortlessly. Popping home and getting your favorite takeout delivered, watching a movie you’ve seen a million times while catching up with your significant other and falling asleep snuggled together on the couch.
2. Coffee date and a walk in the park, the most amazing dinner party with a perfectly selected group of friends who all get along in perfect harmony–the conversation simply never stops. Walking home in a light drizzle on a warm night (almost the early hours of morning), falling into your perfectly cozy bed to sleep perfectly and wake up recharged to do it all again the next day.
3. Reading a book, looking wistfully out the window every so often while lo-fi or jazz plays softly in the background. If there isn’t a fire actively going in your fireplace, you have one going on the tv to ensure the vibes are immaculate. Getting a text from a friend to do that thing you love together later on in the week, enjoying the perfect cup of tea as you look out over the trees outside and on to the days ahead.
4. Waking up to the reminder of some plans you completely forgot about, throwing together what happens to be the perfect outfit. Your hair is somehow perfectly mussed and your skin is perfect. Sprinting out the door, somehow being late to plans always makes you feel like the main character so what’s the issue? Falling into hours and hours of eating, drinking, chatting, meeting new characters, and eventually realizing the time and how wonderful it’s all been. Making your way home and collapsing into the couch, looking at your phone for the first time in ages and smiling at the unread messages you’ll get to at some point–for now, all that matters are the leftovers you’ve been waiting to dive into all day and falling into bed.
   What’s your personality type?
5. Ambivert – while you enjoy a fair amount of time socializing with friends, family, and acquaintances, you very much also enjoy (and require!) alone time in order to recharge. Balance is truly key, as is ensuring you are fully rested in order to be your best self with your loved ones.
6. Extravert – Your social life is everything! Spending time with your people–friends, family, new friends alike–is your raison d’etre (your reason for being). While you don’t necessarily hate being alone, you’d much rather spend any and all free time with the people you love to be around.
7. Introvert – Pls leave me alone. Quality time spent on your own is truly the most important part of maintaining your own happiness and fulfillment. Being around people can be great, but taking time to recharge and find balance in solitude is the absolute best.
8. None of the above – Hey, some of us just are not into labels, and that’s okay! We all have different phases in life, some more social and others centered in solitude. Why paint yourself into a corner identifying as just one thing? Change and ambiguity is the spice of life.

What’s your astrological sign?

1. Earth – As a Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, you are extremely grounded and are the rock for most others in your life. You are practical, loyal, and unwavering, always keeping it real.
2. Water – As a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, emotions are at the core of how you operate. Sensitive and sentimental, you take your home life and loved ones very seriously.
3. Air – As a Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, your open-mindedness and creativity are what drive you. Innovative and outspoken, you find fulfillment in the unexpected.
4. Fire – As an Aries, Leo, or Saggitarius, you absolutely define the word “unpredictable.” You operate passionately, knowing exactly what you want and ceaselessly pursuing it–who cares what others may think?

What’s your dessert of choice?

1. Chocolate Cake – Delicious and perfect 98% off the time, you really can’t miss. Who doesn’t love chocolate?
2. Black and White Cookie – The perfect mix of icing flavors and texture, with a perfect cookie to bring it all together.
3. Creme Brulee – Gorgeous, elevated, the perfect mix of textures and a flavor you can’t beat.
4. Ice Cream Sundae – The combinations are endless! Endless flavors and toppings galore, what’s not to love.

How would you describe your decor style?

1. Contemporary Traditional – Timeless with modern touches, you aim to surprise and delight all who enter your space while aging gracefully
2. Midcentury Modern – Is it actually good or just trendy? Why not both? Clean modern lines and dramatic color are always in style.
3. Parisian Apartment – Soft luxury never disappoints, and a space with this vibe will always be effortlessly cozy and chic.
4. Eclectic Maximalism – Living is supposed to be fun! We’re supposed to live with color and texture–throw it all in there and somehow it always looks great.

And Now, For the Results…

Woo! You’re all set–tally up how many of each letter that correspond to your answers to the above questions, and take a look below to see which British Shorthair color is the perfect one for you:

Mostly A’s – Classic British Blue – A truly timeless specimen, the absolute classic British Shorthair. The British Blue embodies your occasionally full-on diva attitude, while somehow remaining elevated and above it all. Need we say more?

Mostly B’s – Black or White British Shorthair – You like the basics with a bit of an elevated edge. Dramatic flair is one of your favorite vibes, and who’s to say you aren’t bringing the drama yourself? Your British Shorthair should be able to keep in-step with this energy as soon as they stalk into the room, and a Black or White one is just the ticket.

Mostly C’s – Fawn or Cinnamon British Shorthair – These soft colors embody effortless luxury. Completely unique, expensive, and rare to a point of being difficult to nail down. Does this make you better than everyone else? Maybe just a little bit (or a lot).

Mostly D’s – Tortie British Shorthair – What’s not to love about mixing it up and keeping things interesting? While you’re dead-set on having an adorable British Shorthair of your own, one solid color isn’t really the vibe. You always want to keep people guessing and on their toes, and a Tortie is the perfectly unexpected combination for you.
