The Color Code → personality colors
Taylor Hartman's Color Code (introduced in his 1987 book) sorts people by core motive: Red (power), Blue (intimacy), White (peace) and Yellow (fun).
| The Color Code type | In brief | Pace | Focus | Approach | Likely colors here |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red | motivated by power: decisive, driven, results-focused | Fast | Task | either | Crimson, Cobalt |
| Blue | motivated by intimacy: loyal, caring, conscientious | either | People | Structure | Coral, Gold |
| White | motivated by peace: calm, patient, even-tempered | Steady | People | either | Gold, Sage |
| Yellow | motivated by fun: playful, sociable, optimistic | Fast | People | Explore | Amber |
How we built this table
For each The Color Code type we noted only what its public descriptions clearly say about decision pace, people versus task focus, and structure versus exploration. "Either" means the type doesn't clearly lean one way. Overlap in color names is coincidence: our Gold, for example, is not True Colors' Gold.
