The Museum of Contemporary Art has this event called First Fridays. It's this mess of arty types meeting fashionable types meeting business types meeting hipster types. People come dressed in sleek cuts and drink and listen to a DJ spinning all while checking out the art.

It's a party with expensive decor.

But this past one was about color. They had MAC computers sitting at a table. You were to walk over and sit down and answer about eight questions. The questions went like this: "Which image makes you feel ashamed." and out of two very randomly different images you were to pick which one made you feel a certain way. For eight questions you asked to chose one of two pictures for things like "Which makes you feel angry" or "which makes you feel sad." At the end there would be a screen that told you what color your personality was based of the images you had chosen.

I was blue.

If you went to a chart you would find what each color meant. Blue meant charismatic and energetic and arty. Yellow meant dependable. Magenta meant something and green and red and orange and so on.

But then they identified which colors were compatible with others. Like blue was compatible with magenta.

You were supposed to walk away from the table and step in to the world with a dot sticker on your lapel or chest in search of the color you are compatible with.

I started to think how easy the world would be if we all had colors on our shirts. "I'm sorry. You're a green. I should be careful with you because greens are not good for blues." Or "You're a magenta! Let's talk."

Because in a world that never stops it is easy to forget that people do have feelings and, like colors, we all have different values. Some people say things they know you want to hear. Some people lie to protect themselves from their fears. Others are open books who end up being burned. Whether it's in trying to meet new friends or in dating or in just talking to someone else, you are always putting yourself out there with the possibility of being let down.

Sometimes we all act like we are color blind.
