What Color Is Your Personality? Exploring the True Colors Personality Test

by Michelle' Stephenson

April 16, 2025

Picture this: I’m browsing the internet, casually exploring ways to combine my love for psychology with something a bit more vibrant and visually engaging. I stumble across something called the True Colors Personality Test. Naturally, curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t resist diving in. And just like that, a spontaneous scroll turned into the inspiration for this blog post.

Colour Swatches

Before we dive in too deeply, let’s set the tone - according to BetterHelp this isn’t a rigorous scientific assessment. Think of it more as a playful reflection, offering a lighthearted glimpse into your personality and the quirks of those around you. No advanced degrees required - just a bit of curiosity and perhaps your favorite cup of coffee in hand (BetterHelp, 2025).

So, What Is the True Colors Personality Test?

Wikipedia explains that the True Colors system was created by Don Lowry in the 1970s, and was designed to help people better understand themselves and others. It breaks personalities into four core colors - Blue, Gold, Green, and Orange - each representing a different set of traits, values, and ways of interacting with the world (Wikipedia contributors, n.d.).

Welcome To The One Percent explains the meaning of each color as follows:

💙 Blue – The Harmonizer

Empathetic, sincere, compassionate. Blues are relationship-driven and thrive when helping others. They're the friends who remember birthdays and ask how you're really doing.

💛 Gold – The Organizer

Loyal, responsible, detail-oriented. Golds love structure and rules. Think of calendars, checklists, and color-coded folders. These folks are often the reliable glue in any team.

💚 Green – The Thinker

Analytical, curious, independent. Greens are problem-solvers and idea people. They live in their heads, ask “why” a lot, and are big fans of logic over emotion.

🧡 Orange – The Adventurer

Energetic, spontaneous, fun-loving. Oranges crave freedom and excitement. Rules? More like guidelines. They’re the ones organizing last-minute road trips or suggesting skydiving on a Tuesday.

My True Colors Experience

So, I debated whether to spend $50 on the official True Colors assessment (found at True colors International), but then I remembered... this is supposed to be fun. Not a financial commitment. Instead, I found a free version at My Personality Test took a deep breath, and clicked my way through. There are a few free versions of the True Colors Personality Test online. While some are more detailed than others, even a quick one can give you a glimpse into your color spectrum. Just remember - most people are a blend of all four colors, with one or two shining brightest.

Spoiler alert: I’m a Gold.

Which means I’m all about the plans, the structure, the sense of security that comes with a clear to-do list. I’m big on tradition, family values, and doing things the right way - aka, by the book. Apparently, I would make a great candidate for careers in finance or public service.

Also, it says I might come across as a bit… pushy. Honestly? Guilty. But I’m working on it! And I do take pride in being dependable and helpful, so that was nice to see.

Final Thoughts

Was it fun? Absolutely. Was it eerily accurate? In parts, yes. Was it a tad too generic at times? For sure - because let’s face it, no test can capture all the layers of a person. We’re not pancakes. We’re lasagnas. 😄

But here’s what I loved: it’s a cute little reminder that we all see the world through different

lenses. And that’s not just okay, it’s kind of magical. So, whether you're a calm and caring Blue, a dependable Gold like me, an insightful Green, or a wild-hearted Orange, your color brings something unique to the table.

Perhaps one day I’ll invest in the full version of the test. For now, I’m content embracing my gold qualities and appreciating the diverse spectrum of personalities that surround me. After all, it’s this vibrant mix of traits that makes the world a richer, more interesting place.
