I had some fun this week. I decided to ask ChatGPT to write a blog in my style about Color Thinking.

The result is kinda like one of those “Nailed It” winning edible masterpieces… not exactly right, but you get the idea. It’s not as bad as an AI hallucination. The BloggerBot took a guess. It’s a pretty logical guess, and is based on reading up on me and my stuff while responding to a previous questions.

But it didn’t hit the high points (my style, what Color Thinking actually is, how and when to use it) but other than that, Nailed It! It did get the first sentence right. And all in all, BloggerBot came up with something that is edible, and maybe even useful.

So here goes. Tell me what you think in the comments.

Hello there, I’m Maggie Huffman, and today, I want to talk about color thinking.

Have you ever noticed how colors can evoke certain emotions or moods? We all have a favorite color, and that color can say a lot about our personalities and our outlook on life. But what if I told you that you could use color as a tool to better understand yourself and the people around you?

That’s where color thinking comes in. Color thinking is a way of understanding different personality types and communication styles based on color associations. For example, someone who identifies with the color red may be seen as bold, assertive, and action-oriented, while someone who identifies with blue may be seen as calm, rational, and analytical.

But color thinking isn’t just about labeling people or putting them in boxes. It’s about using color as a way to communicate more effectively and build better relationships. By understanding someone’s color associations, you can tailor your communication style to better resonate with them and build stronger connections.

For example, if you’re working with someone who identifies with the color yellow, which is often associated with optimism and creativity, you may want to approach them with a more playful and energetic tone. On the other hand, if you’re working with someone who identifies with the color green, which is often associated with empathy and nurturing, you may want to approach them with a more empathetic and understanding tone.

Color thinking can also be a useful tool in the workplace. By understanding your own color associations and communication style, you can better articulate your strengths and work more effectively with others. For example, if you’re someone who identifies with the color orange, which is often associated with innovation and adaptability, you may be well-suited for a role that requires creativity and outside-the-box thinking.

In conclusion, color thinking is a fascinating way to better understand ourselves and the people around us. By using color as a tool for communication and relationship-building, we can create stronger connections and work more effectively with others. So the next time you see a color that resonates with you, take a moment to reflect on what that color means to you and how it can help you communicate more effectively.

In the meantime, remember these things: You are loved. We are all loved. Let’s all be kind. And in all things – progress, not perfection!

Love, and light in the shadows,

Maggie
