Blue is the hue.
OK, the trend stops here. I’m not sure I agree with this assessment, but the important thing is Slipperman will definitely NOT get the same color I got. No way, no sir, no how.
Didn’t I take this one before some time ago????

And now, a lot more than you really wanted to know.
The do-gooders
Life cannot bestow on anyone
a more gratifying reward
than the sincere appreciation
and trust of a Blue friend.
-Blues Are Motivated by Altruism
Blues love to do nice things for others. They look for opportunities to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. Selflessness rather than selfishness is their guiding philosophy. Many Blues are uncomfortable doing things solely for themselves. They hold doors open for people, offer rides when someone’s car breaks down, contribute to charities, even devote their entire lives to helping others.
Blues Seek Intimacy
More than anything else, Blues want to love and be loved. A true Blue will sacrifice a successful career to improve an important relationship. Once considered solely a female characteristic, this nurturing is more accurately understood as a Blue personality trait.
Blues Crave Being Understood
Blues are gratified when they are listened to, when they feel understood and appreciated. They are notorious for revealing their inadequacies, because they value being known and understood so much. In the eyes of a Blue, being vulnerable is a small price to pay for the chance to connect emotionally. Blues may have their hearts broken more than most people, but they also spend much more time in love.
Blues Need to Be Remembered and Appreciated
With Blues, a simple pat on the back will not suffice. Blues expend such great effort in making the world a better place that sometimes they need to be told how wonderful they are. They need to be thanked and specifically remembered for their good deeds. They need sincere gratitude. They delight in being remembered on birthdays and other special days, especially if the remembrance is personal–a homemade anniversary card, a welcome home party, a special day that isn’t on the calendar. Blues need tender loving care.
Blues Are Directed by a Strong Moral Conscience
Blues are motivated to behave in a proper, appropriate manner. They have a moral code that guides them in their decision making, their value judgments, even their leisure time. Blues enjoy being “good.” Of all the personality colors, Blues come equipped with the strongest sense of integrity. A Blue would rather lose than cheat. Blues are trustworthy. Ethically, Blues are the people who should be in positions of power, but seldom are.

Recommended Time-Management Tips for Blues
-Thinks rationally rather than reactively when pressured. Emotionalism can create chaos and unnecessary distress.
-Clearly state your limits when others impose deadlines on you.
-Settle for less. Perfectionism often narrows your focus, causing you to ignore other important aspects of your life.
-Don’t set unrealistic expectations for yourself or others to the extent that everyone feels overwhelmed. Simply see goals as road markers rather than criteria for success.
-Don’t personalize your interactions with other people. Blues often suffer from feeling let down by others or from quitting because they let others down. Concentrate on the task at hand rather than becoming emotionally discouraged or critical.
-See time management as a compromise rather than “all or nothing.” If you fail to meet a deadline, learn to punt. It will free you to be more creative and less self-critical.
-Realize that there are limits to what you can control. You cannot control other people.
-Set a ten-minute time limit to worry about any topic in the day. When your time is up, so is your worrying. Get on with living in the present moment and doing what you can do rather than focusing on what is our of your control.

WHITES:
THE PEACEKEEPERS
Whites offer us all
a model for gentle
human dignity.
Whites Are Motivated by Peace
Whites will do almost anything to avoid confrontation. They like to flow through life without hassle or discomfort. Feeling good is even more important to them than being good.
Whites Need Kindness
While Whites respond beautifully to thoughtfulness and amiability, they have a strong, silent stubbornness that surfaces when they are treated unkindly. They resent being scolded. They dislike harsh words. They open up instantly to people who are kind, but Whites recoil from those who are hostile. They are motivated by kindness–and can’t understand why other people are unkind.
Whites Prefer Quiet Strength
Whites enjoy their quiet independence. What appears to some people as quiet desperation can show itself as bullheadedness. Those who misinterpret the peace-loving nature of a White as an invitation to be demanding and bossy will soon meet a wall of passive resistance. Whites are tougher than people think.
Whites Like to Keep a Low Profile
Whites like to be asked their opinions. They won’t volunteer them. They value the respect of others, but they rarely go out of their way to seek it. They need to be coaxed to talk about their skills, hobbies, and interests.
Whites Are Independent
Unlike Reds and Blues, who want to control others, Whites seek only to avoid being controlled. They simply refuse to be under another’s thumb, especially when treated without the respect they feel they deserve. Whites want to do things their own way, in their own time. They don’t ask much of others, and resent it when others demand things from them. They often comply with unreasonable demands–just to keep peace. They will express their anger and frustration only when they can no longer stand being bossed around. WHites don’t like to be pushed, and they can be fearsome when they finally “blow up.”
Whites Are Motivated by Other People’s Desires
Whites are open to the recommendations of others on ways to resolve any and all situations. White executives value new management ideas from employees. White children welcome help–they are receptive students. Whites make agreeable dates. They are interested in making sure the other person has a good time, and are willing to do whatever the other person wants. Whites, however, want suggestions–not demands.
