Hi all! Slowing down today and, for those that know their best color attributes, thought it would be fun to share out favorite color to wear. Share your season or tonal combination and a swatch of your favorite color. I will go first. As a Dark Autumn who can borrow from Deep Winter, my favorite color to wear is a burnt orange. And yes, this is a proof point towards the idea you often subconsciously already know your "season." Burnt orange is a deep, warm shade that combines the vibrancy of orange with a subtle infusion of brown, giving it a rich, earthy quality. It's positioned in the red-orange side of the color wheel, exuding a sense of energy and enthusiasm while maintaining a cozy and inviting feel. https://www.figma.com/colors/burnt-orange/

I'm working on a research project (Color Analyst × Preference Appeal Index) and could use your help. When you think of personal color analysis, which analysts or companies come to mind? Don't overthink it. Just list everyone you can remember, whether you've worked with them or simply know of them. I'm curious to see which names come up most often.

The four-letter Myers-Briggs type is not the destination. It is a decoder ring. What is it decoding? Your cognitive function stack. The letters exist to reveal which functions you prefer, in which order, and how they are oriented. The stack is where the actual substance lives. The last letter tells you which function is extroverted. J types extrovert their judging function. P types extrovert their perceiving function. The first letter tells you which function is preferred. Extroverts lead with the function they extrovert. Introverts lead with the function they introvert. Take ENTP and INTJ. Both NT types. Same temperament group. In practice, they are running almost opposite cognitive sequences. The ENTP leads with Extroverted Intuition. The driver question: what possibilities am I not seeing yet, and where could this go? The co-pilot is Introverted Thinking. The second question: does this actually hold together on its own terms? The INTJ leads with Introverted Intuition. The driver question: what is the pattern beneath all of this, and where is it heading? The co-pilot is Extroverted Thinking. The second question: does this work, and can it be made to work better? Same two middle letters. Completely different direction of energy. Completely different criteria for trust. If you know your current best-fit type and want me to map out your cognitive function stack, drop it below.

Our first live call is tomorrow evening at 7pm ET! I'll walk through decoding the four-letter type code and the Car Model, then get into how personality preference shapes stress response. After that, it's open Q&A and a chance to talk through what else you want this community to cover. Can't wait to see everyone live. See you tomorrow!

The MBTI x color season tracker has 26 entries now, and one number jumped out enough that I want to flag it for the group. N-types are 81% of this sample. The general population estimate is around 26%. That is not a small skew, that's most of the group running on a preference held by roughly a quarter of people (which, if you've ever wondered why "just trust the process" lands so badly in here, this might be part of the answer). What's NOT showing a skew anymore: Introvert/Extrovert is sitting at 50/50, almost exactly matching the general population estimate. So whatever is pulling people into a research-flavored color and personality group, it's an N thing, not an I thing. I'd have guessed both going in, so that one's worth sitting with. It tracks with how N and S types tend to approach learning a color system in the first place. An N wants the underlying framework before they trust a single recommendation (why does this hue read as warm, what's the mechanism behind clarity, how does this rule generalize). An S wants the concrete result and a way to check it against something real (this top works, does the new one match it). Neither is more rigorous than the other, they're just different entry points. But a group built around dissecting the framework itself is going to read as home base to N types in a way it won't for S types looking for a direct answer. That's probably at least part of what's showing up in the data. Two honest caveats before anyone runs with this: n=26 isn't enough to call this a settled finding (the target is 30+ per type before I'd trust anything statistically), and this only tells us who self-selects into a group like this one. It says nothing yet about whether N correlates with anything on the color side. Two different questions, and I want to keep them separate. So, curious for the room: does the N-skew track with why you joined, or is it just a coincidence of who ended up here? And if you haven't dropped your entry in the MBTI x color season tracker yet, now's a good time. Every entry makes the next pattern more trustworthy.
