What Does Your Wax Play Colour Say About You?

Forget personality tests.

Forget star signs.

Forget asking whether you're an introvert or extrovert.

We have a much more important question:

What colour wax play candle are you reaching for first?

Because we're pretty sure your candle choice says something about you.

Are we qualified psychologists?

Absolutely not.

Are we going to judge your entire wax play personality based on the colour of candle you choose?

Absolutely.

Pick your favourite Bent colour and let's find out what kind of trouble you're bringing to the table.

RED — The Intense One

You didn't come here to be subtle.

Red is bold, passionate and impossible to ignore.

If red is the first candle you're grabbing, chances are you like an experience with a little drama.

You appreciate anticipation.

You appreciate intensity.

And visually?

You want something that makes a statement.

Your wax play motto:
Why whisper when you can drip in red?

BLACK — The Rebel One

Of course you picked black.

You probably already knew you were going to.

Black is dramatic, mysterious and unapologetically dark.

You're probably thinking about the entire atmosphere—not just the candle.

Low lighting.

The right music.

Plenty of anticipation.

And absolutely no pastel rainbow in sight.

Unless you're using it ironically.

Your wax play motto:
Turn down the lights.

WHITE — The Minimalist

Clean.

Simple.

Classic.

You don't need six colours competing for attention.

You're here for the experience.

White wax can also create an incredible base when you eventually decide to introduce other colours.

Which you will.

We know you will.

Your wax play motto:
Keep it simple. Make it memorable.

BLUE — The Cool Controller

You're patient.

Calculated.

And probably very comfortable making someone wait.

You're not rushing the experience.

Why would you?

Half the fun is anticipation.

If blue is your colour, you probably enjoy taking your time and letting the experience build.

Your wax play motto:
You'll get the next drop when I'm ready.

LIGHT BLUE — The Slow Burner

You're calm on the outside.

But we don't entirely trust you.

Light blue looks innocent enough.

Soft.

Relaxed.

Almost peaceful.

Which makes us suspicious.

You're probably the person who can stretch ten minutes of anticipation into what feels like an hour.

Your wax play motto:
What's the rush?

PURPLE — The Indulgent One

You want the whole experience.

Not just the sensation.

You want atmosphere.

Colour.

Lighting.

Music.

Presentation.

Purple people don't simply drip wax.

They create a production.

There's a decent chance you've already planned what the finished wax is going to look like.

Your wax play motto:
If we're doing this, we're doing it properly.

LIGHT PURPLE — The Tease

Soft colour.

Questionable intentions.

Light purple is for someone who enjoys keeping things playful while maintaining just enough mystery.

You're probably a fan of anticipation.

And pauses.

Especially pauses.

Your wax play motto:
I never said when.

PINK — The Playful One

You refuse to take everything seriously.

Good.

Wax play can be sensual, intense and artistic.

It can also be ridiculously fun.

Pink people bring energy.

You're probably experimenting with colour combinations before everyone else has finished deciding which candle to light.

Your wax play motto:
More colour. More fun.

RED + BLACK — The Classic Troublemaker

Okay, we said choose one.

You immediately chose two.

And naturally, they were red and black.

You like dramatic contrast and you're probably not interested in subtle visuals.

If Bent ever made a movie poster, you'd probably approve.

Your wax play motto:
Subtlety is overrated.

ORANGE — The Wild Card

Nobody quite knows what's going to happen.

Including you.

You're spontaneous.

You're curious.

You're willing to experiment.

You probably started with one plan and abandoned it five minutes later because something else looked more interesting.

Your wax play motto:
Let's see what happens.

YELLOW — The Sunshine Troublemaker

You're cheerful.

You're mischievous.

And there's a very good chance somebody is going to start laughing.

You don't believe wax play needs to be dark and serious to be fun.

Bright colours?

Absolutely.

Unexpected combinations?

Even better.

Your wax play motto:
Trouble looks better in yellow.

GREEN — The Experimenter

You're curious.

You want to know what happens when you try something differently.

New colour combination?

Let's try it.

Different lighting?

Why not?

UV?

Obviously.

You're the person most likely to turn a simple idea into an entire experiment.

Your wax play motto:
But what happens if we try this?

LIGHT GREEN — The Sneaky One

You look harmless.

We're not convinced.

Light green has an innocent, playful appearance, which makes it perfect for someone who enjoys a little contrast between appearance and intention.

You're probably already planning something nobody else knows about.

Your wax play motto:
Who, me?

UV PINK — The Attention Seeker

Regular pink wasn't enough.

You needed pink that reacts under blacklight.

We respect the commitment.

If UV Pink is your choice, you want the experience to be seen.

You like bold visuals, blacklight and probably at least a little theatrical flair.

Your wax play motto:
If it's worth doing, it's worth glowing.

UV YELLOW — The Human Highlighter

Subtle isn't really your thing.

You saw fluorescent yellow and thought:

Yes. That one.

You like things bright, unexpected and impossible to ignore.

There's also a reasonable chance your blacklight setup is already better than most people's living-room lighting.

Your wax play motto:
You can't miss me.

UV ORANGE — The Chaos Agent

You had a plan.

It was a good plan.

Then UV Orange entered the room.

Now nobody knows what's happening.

You're spontaneous, energetic and fully prepared to change direction halfway through because another idea suddenly sounds better.

Your wax play motto:
There was a plan?

UV GREEN — The Alien

Normal was never really an option.

You want blacklight.

You want fluorescent colours.

You want the room looking like something from another planet.

You're probably the first person in your group to suggest something nobody else has tried.

Your wax play motto:
Take me to your candle collection.

UV BLUE — The Night Owl

Everything gets better after dark.

You appreciate atmosphere.

Dim lighting.

Music.

Blacklight.

And enough UV glow to make the room look completely different from where you started.

Your wax play motto:
Wait until the lights go out.

UV PURPLE — The After-Dark Artist

You've somehow turned wax play into an art project.

You're layering colours.

You're thinking about where the UV light is positioned.

You're looking at the finished result and deciding whether it needs one more colour.

It does.

It always does.

Your wax play motto:
Just one more layer.

CAN'T CHOOSE ONE? — The Mix & Match

You looked at all the colours and thought:

Why exactly am I supposed to choose one?

Congratulations.

You're officially a Bent Mix & Match.

One colour isn't enough.

Two colours aren't enough.

You want options.

Your personality is apparently six candles, several questionable creative decisions and absolutely no interest in committing to a single colour.

Fortunately, that's exactly why the Bent Pick 6 Mix & Match Wax Play Candle Pack exists.

Choose six.

Mix them.

Match them.

Change your mind.

Create combinations nobody asked for.

We support your inability to choose.

Your wax play motto:
I'll take six.

WHAT IF YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR CHANGES?

Then congratulations.

You're complicated.

Welcome to the club.

Your favourite colour doesn't have to stay the same.

Some nights might feel like black and red.

Others might call for purple and pink.

And sometimes the only reasonable decision is turning on a blacklight and reaching for every UV colour you own.

That's part of the fun.

BUILD A PALETTE AROUND YOUR PERSONALITY

Now that we've conducted this extremely scientific personality assessment, put the results to use.

Start with your personality colour.

Then choose colours that complement or contrast with it.

Love black?

Add Red, Purple, UV Pink, White and UV Green.

Love purple?

Try Light Purple, Pink, Blue, White and UV Purple.

Love UV Green?

At this point we're not sure you're going to listen to our suggestions anyway.

Choose five more.

WHAT DOES YOUR PARTNER PICK?

Here's where this gets interesting.

Don't tell your partner what their colour supposedly means.

Ask them:

“Pick one.”

Then show them their result.

Better yet, each of you chooses three colours.

Put all six together and you've created your own personality-inspired wax palette.
