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.
