Registers for a True Colors Personal Success Seminar today!

Imagine, finally understanding why people behave the way they do!

People see the world differently, listen for different information, and feel satisfied by different outcomes.

After a True Colors seminar, members of the group will describe different reasons why the day was useful:

Gold temperaments will tell you that the workshop was valuable because it improves the bottom line, and the group performs more efficiently and more productively.

Orange personalities will talk about how fun and exciting the day was, and how much more energy the group developed to solve its problems. Motivation to work as a team evaporated the old burnout and stagnation.

Green oriented people will point out that this methodology is intellectually rigorous, and has proven results that can be replicated again and again in developing interpersonal skills that endure.

Blue inclined personalities will feel satisfied by the feeling of group unity that developed, the improved team morale, and the relief to have animosity turn into appreciation.

So, which one of these perspectives is the “right” one to describe the usefulness of True Colors? It’s obvious that they are all correct, even though they are different.

Why Use True Colors?

The number one reason employees are dissatisfied or leave their jobs is workplace relationship struggles, especially with their direct supervisor or team leader – followed by a lack of communication, trust, appreciation and fair treatment.

The True Colors methodology has helped millions of people find personal success and dramatically improve their interpersonal relationships in these areas and beyond.

It has a twenty year track record of success with hundreds of companies like Ford, Pfizer, Washington Mutual, ESPN, Kraft, Boeing, JC Penny, Cargill, Sabre, I.C. System, and thousands of schools, hospitals, and government agencies, who have used it to build teamwork, improve communication and enhance customer relations.

The Meaning Behind the Colors of True Colors

Color has been used to shape and describe our lives, our habits, our values, and our feelings throughout the ages. Research into the physiological effects of color has shown that it truly has an impact on our lives, often in unconscious and mysterious ways. The colors for the True Colors model were chosen to correspond with the various metaphors associated with each Color.

The True Colors Character Cards

What are they - why use them?

Recognizing the potential of the True Colors concepts to improve people’s lives, careers and relationships, Lowry set about developing a fundamental and universal way to package the information so it could be understood and easily applied by both children and adults alike.

Don Lowry originally selected theater as an entertaining way to acquaint people with the powerful insights of temperament. In order to involve the audience in the process, he developed the True Colors character cards (thus the mimes depicted on the front of the cards). The cards offered a gratifying, hands-on experience in discovering their True Colors personality traits.

Little did he know at the time, the simplicity of these cards would be key to the ease of use and lasting impact of True Colors.

Flip a switch – the light comes on. Simple as that, right? Most of us don’t take the time to step back and consider the vast technology of electricity that lies behind this simple act, and yet we enjoy the benefits of the light bulb numerous times throughout the day.

The same could be said of the True Colors Character Card Sort – on the surface it seems like a simple act, yet behind this simple process is decades of personality research and observation. Once you sort the cards into your unique personality spectrum your personality will take on a new light. Frequently from this one activity individuals have remarked, "Oh, so THAT’S why I do things that way”, or "Now I understand my spouse/mate better”. The card sort is a deceptively simple, yet profoundly effective way to discover your unique personality and begin your exploration with True Colors.

A Brief History of True Colors

The theory behind True Colors can be traced back to when Hippocrates (460 BC) identified four different temperaments of humans: Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic, and the Melancholoc... and in Plato's (428 BC) ideas about character and personality.

Many great thinkers around the world have expounded upon this theory throughout the ages from the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations to modern psychologists with relative consistency of these various interpretations (Adickes, Jung, Spranger, Kreschmar, Fromm, Keirsey).

In 1978 founder Don Lowry, further developed the personality concepts he had studied and was the first to apply the color metaphors of Blue, Gold, Green and Orange to the four temperaments, coining this methodology: True Colors.

What is True Colors?

What is True Colors and what can it do for me? 

True Colors™ is a model for understanding yourself and others based on your personality temperament type. The colors of Orange, Green, Blue and Gold are used to differentiate the four central personality styles of True Colors™. Each of us has a combination of these True Colors that make up our personality spectrum, usually with one of the styles being the most dominant. Identifying your personality type and the personalities of others using the True Colors Personality Identification Model provides you with insights into different motivations, actions and communication approaches. True Colors works because it is based on true principles and easy to remember and use – in all kinds of circumstances – from personal relationships to professional success. 

 "Successful people know who they are and what their True Colors are... when you know what your core values and needs are and feel good about them, you can perform at your highest potential in every area of life. And when you share a working, mutual understanding of other’ core values and needs, you have the basis to communicate, motivate, and achieve common goals with utmost dignity, efficacy, and mutual respect." 

 -Don Lowry, creator of True Colors
