Color Connotations & Associations

A 4-frame self-acceptance and color therapy webcomic strip featuring colorful heart characters. Upper Left: An open laptop sitting on a table from the point-of-view of the pink heart character. Their hands are visible at the bottom of the frame. The squares featuring the faces of 12 heart character are visible on the screen similar to a Zoom meeting. They are pink, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple, black, brown, gray, and white. There is a green outline around the pink heart’s square. Text above the pink heart reads: Remember, everyone has unique associations with us based on their life experiences, cultures, locations, social groups, genders, and age. Upper Right: The green outline is now around the yellow heart character’s square. Text above the yellow heart reads: What if our assignment isn’t a good match? Lower Left: The green outline is now around the red heart character’s square. Text above the red heart reads: Don’t be discouraged! Lower Right: The green outline is now around the pink heart character’s square. Text above the pink heart reads: Just let us know and we’ll find a better match for you.

I swear purple, yellow, black, white, grey, and brown are the most polarizing colors. 🥴

💜 Liking purple can mean a lot of things depending on the purple and why you like it.

🩶 Liking gray doesn’t mean you’re depressed or moody. Nor does disliking yellow. 💛

🖤🤍 Black and white are colors in the context of how we describe the world around us.

🤎 And if you hate brown, I need you to interrogate why before you rush to tell me.

That last one always rubs me the wrong way because of my own experiences with color—like being a Black woman.

While I won’t say you’re wrong for liking or disliking a particular color, I may encourage you to give it a second chance (if your reason isn’t traumatic).

🤗
