True Colors → personality colors
True Colors was created by Don Lowry in 1978 and draws on Keirsey's four temperaments. It uses four colors: Gold, Blue, Green and Orange. People usually have a brightest color and a second color.
| True Colors type | In brief | Pace | Focus | Approach | Likely colors here |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | organized, responsible, values duty and tradition | Steady | either | Structure | Emerald, Gold |
| Blue | warm, empathetic, values relationships and authenticity | either | People | either | Amber, Coral, Gold, Sage |
| Green | analytical, curious, values competence and ideas | Steady | Task | Explore | Violet |
| Orange | spontaneous, action-oriented, values freedom and fun | Fast | either | Explore | Crimson, Amber |
How we built this table
For each True Colors 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.
