Quite often I hear someone say that another person “must have a lot of Blue in them.” While we all know what that means, we all do have a lot of Blue within each of us, no matter what our primary Color! We are all Blue – and Green and Orange and Gold, in one order or another.
Just like the words freedom, fun, family, or honesty have very different definitions for each Color, our Blue comes out in very different ways, and at different times, whether it’s your first Color or your last! But when you have an understanding of Colors, you need to look for the very different ways it manifests itself.
For Golds, their “Blue” frequently shows in doing nice things for others, since they value being helpful and cooperative. But it’s also doing many things that other Colors might not notice. Golds do something because it is the right thing to do – and because it needs doing. It’s not about drawing attention to it, but just to help out. And it will often be in the form of actions, instead of words.
High Greens show you they care by giving you advice, or perhaps better ways something should be done, another way you could do something, or maybe sharing a book, magazine, or web story that will really help you to grow or learn. They care enough to want you to learn and to do better!
Most high Orange will show their caring through verbal feedback, positive affirmations, inviting you along, or maybe by using their great sense of humor to get you back on track, looking at the positive side, or pulling you out of your current state.
As the old saying goes: Different strokes for different folks. Look through the long list of each Color’s strengths in the Colorful Personalities book, and you will see how each of us uses our strengths in “Blue” ways. But it will always be up to you to pay attention, and to look for the value (look for the Blue) in all Colors. It is always present in a wide variety of subtle ways, if we just choose to look and to listen.
