True Colors (personality) is a personality profiling system created by Don Lowry in 1979. It was originally created to categorize four basic learning styles using the colors blue, orange, gold and green to identify the strengths and challenges of these core personality types. According to this personality temperament theory, which is a refined version of the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, everyone's personality is comprised of a combination of all four colors, with the dominant two colors representing the core of a person's personality temperament. In general, green personality types are independent thinkers, gold personality types are pragmatic planners, orange personality types are very action-oriented, and blue personality types are very people-oriented. The idea behind True Colors is that it does not pigeonhole people into one personality type over another with the understanding that one's personality might make adjustments based on his or her environment or associations. True Colors is a way to understand the behaviors and motivations of others relative to our own personalities to help mitigate potential conflict by learning to recognize personality differences and characteristics.
