How Different Colors

Interact With Each Other

Scenarios:

  1. Two people need to move to a new home. This is change, and Orange person sees it as a chance to innovate how they live, contemplating having a home office or living in a high rise to never have to do yard work anymore. Amber person is stressed enough about how she’s going to look presentable at work when all of her clothes and dresser drawers have to be packed for the movers, and where on earth are we going to keep hosting our widely beloved cookouts if we don’t have a backyard anymore??

  2. A three-person team is putting together a presentation to land a big client. Red’s idea is to just tell them what they want to hear. It has always worked for her before, and once the client is locked into the deal it will be too hard for them to back out if they realize they’re not getting what they wanted. Anyway, these kinds of companies always think they want more than they end up using. Orange has gathered loads of data of the satisfaction rate their clients have had over the last 5 years. These numbers speak for themselves, as long as we present this information clearly they’ll see this is the smartest choice. Amber is livid at Red. Lying is never acceptable, and she refuses to mislead the client in any way. Showing the client our integrity is the best way to land this deal. When they see we’re committed to staying true to our word, they’ll know they can trust us with this important endeavor.

  3. Politics comes up during the Thanksgiving meal. Amber sticks to her position: this family has voted Democrat for decades, and we’re not going to stop now. Orange owns a small business, and the costs of compliance with the regulations the last two Democratic administrations passed were crushing her company. She doesn’t prefer the ethics of the Republican candidate, but she’s going to vote for him so she won’t have to lay off any employees if more regulations get passed. It’s obvious to Green that people being treated well is more important than money, and the regulations are there to protect the environment, which is clearly the most important thing we need to do. Magenta isn’t going to tell anyone for fear of being disowned, but his plan on Election Day is to pull a tarot card and do what it says- tarot has been trusted be people for thousands of years.
