DISC → personality colors
DISC comes from William Moulton Marston's 1928 book Emotions of Normal People and describes four styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness. Many trainers color-code them red, yellow, green and blue.
| DISC type | In brief | Pace | Focus | Approach | Likely colors here |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D (Dominance) | direct, decisive, focused on results | Fast | Task | either | Crimson, Cobalt |
| I (Influence) | outgoing, enthusiastic, focused on people | Fast | People | Explore | Amber |
| S (Steadiness) | patient, supportive, values stability | Steady | People | Structure | Gold |
| C (Conscientiousness) | careful, analytical, values accuracy | Steady | Task | Structure | Emerald |
How we built this table
For each DISC 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.
