Excerpt:
Orange and Blue
Blues and Oranges are both givers, although in different ways. Blues give themselves wholeheartedly to work; you can count on them to stay late and to care about doing the smallest things right. Oranges give themselves to people, anticipating their needs, saying just the right thing to put people at ease.
Blue and Crimson
You’re both committed and hard-working which makes you the most boring color combination of all time; laughing at yourselves will help with this. Incidentally, you are also probably the most productive color combination of all time.
Crimson and Orange
Crimson and Orange may be at different ends of the introvert-extrovert spectrum. It can be a lot of fun to hang out, as long as you know this about each other.
Green and Purple
Purples and Greens most likely get along perfectly well. If you can accept each other’s attitudes as genuine, Purple and Green make for a relaxed, conflict-free team.
Green and Orange
Green and Orange are not the best duo to move a project forward aggressively. You are both perfectly happy dwelling in the comfort zone. If you start to feel stuck, you may try bringing other personality types into the mix.
Orange and Purple
Purples and Oranges will tend to communicate well with each other; Oranges try to be great listeners, and Purples are expressive; well, at least when they have something original to share. Purples may enjoy hanging out with someone who laughs at their odd remarks (it takes creative energy to come up with new things to say!), and lobs a joke of their own back.
Grey and Orange
Greys and Oranges both want to improve relationships. Oranges may put themselves out there in risky and vulnerable ways, and may get hurt by a Grey, especially if a Grey uses the opportunity to crack a joke.
Grey and Grey
Who hates each other more: two punks who love different bands, or a blue-haired social justice warrior stuck in a room with an internet troll? When you buck the establishment, it’s hard to get along with other anti-establishment types unless their interests align exactly with your own. Fortunately, the antidote is also your strong suit: self-deprecating humor and snarky comments. Admit the flaws in your own crusade, and hopefully they’ll admit the flaws in theirs too and you can have a good laugh about the hopelessness of it all. Then move on and get some freakin’ work done. Shoulder to shoulder you’ll quickly find that the other person brings sharp clarity and new perspectives that can really push the project forward and expand your own understanding.
Green and Green
The chances that you two, as Greens, will erupt into conflict hovers somewhere between zero and minus zero. But that doesn’t mean you will be the most productive pair, either. The first issue that may harm your productivity is the fact you both prefer stability, so change (even productive change) can upset the status quo.
Orange and Orange
When a Orange joins forces with another Orange, an enjoyable association is bound to result. Oranges bring joy and optimism to everyone and know exactly when to help and when to step back. The only real problem for two Oranges is that neither of you may be comfortable taking the lead because you both enjoy being helpful.
Crimson and Purple
There’s potential for fantastic collaboration between a Crimson and Purple. Purple brings the creative, outside-of-the-box inspiration; Crimson brings the ambitious, enterprising charge toward the finish line.
Blue and Purple
Chances are that Purples and Blues find beauty and meaning in distinctly divergent ways. With your strengths combined, Purples and Blues may create functional beauty.
Green and Crimson
The brash go-getter and the stress-free chillaxer may not have a lot in common aesthetically and can find themselves taken aback and irked by each other at times. That’s okay, and may even be positive if you’re committed to making it work!
Green and Grey
Greens see strength in stability. Greys see strength in pushing through facade to a more “real” relationship. If you can understand where the other is coming from, you can get into a solid friendship.
Grey and Crimson
You both approach social interactions with a bold courage, although the emotional impulse which drives your courage is quite different. With this in mind, Crimsons, be aware that not all social behavior is to be taken literally.
Blue and Green
Green and Blue may just be the lowest stress color combination of them all: a low-key Green attitude that doesn’t make a mountain out of a molehill and with detail-oriented Blue thinking that keeps on top of things.
Grey and Purple
Greys and Purples are likely to share personality traits and maybe even interests and may even be amused and inspired by each other.
Blue and Grey
Although honesty is important to both of you, how you understand it is very different.
Blue and Blue
Theoretically, two Blues working together should be an ideal pair. How could two dependable and organized folks not work together to improve the outcomes of both? Well, a part of being Blue is also having a distinct preference for calling the shots and we all know what happens when we have more than one chef in the kitchen.
Purple and Purple
If days were only longer, Purples could find ways to work so much more effectively together. There never seems to be enough time to describe all the ideas that fill every Purple’s mind. Even when working in close proximity, a Purple often prefers to have more time focusing on the task at hand without the presence of another. The key is to find the areas where you both
Crimson and Crimson
This same-color pair often enjoys a spectacular outcome when working together. The energy, passion and adventurousness of two Crimsons combine to produce results above and beyond what either could have done alone. But there are also times when aspects of Crimsons may clash. The desire to lead, to be in the spotlight, to be recognized as unique, and other Crimson traits can make it difficult to work together toward a common goal.

I included this website because I find it interesting that a color can represent a person. Last year, I actually had a conversation with a group of my classmates where I told everyone what color I thought represented them based on their personalities from my perspective. I’m really curious about why I can see that and how I identified which color represents whom, even though I hadn’t seen this website at the time. I have always seen a person, place, or period of memories appear as a color in my mind since I was little. However, as I grew up, that “ability” seems to be fading.
