Abstract: This study explores the adverbial effect of colors—how colors indirectly shape human actions, expressions, and perceptions—through the lived experiences of Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLED) students. Anchored in qualitative insights, the research identifies three central themes: color’s influence on decision-making, interpersonal relationships, and personal philosophies. Findings reveal that students associate colors with aesthetic choices and consumer behavior, illustrating how personal beliefs about color affect lifestyle decisions. Moreover, colors were perceived to subtly impact social interactions, emotional connections, and group dynamics, suggesting that shared color preferences foster attraction and cohesion. In shaping self-concept and worldview, colors were found to play a vital role in enhancing self-expression and identity. The study introduces Carale’s Model of the Adverbial Effect of Colors, which identifies four interrelated elements—experiences, assumptions, conception, and concrete actions—that illustrate how individual perceptions of color evolve into behavioral manifestations. Supported by existing literature in psychology, philosophy, and design, the research underscores the wide-reaching implications of color perception in educational and business contexts. Recommendations include integrating color awareness into pedagogy, product branding, and social interactions to promote engagement, identity, and inclusivity.
