    ONE: WHITE/SILVER
    TWO: LAVENDER
    THREE: PURPLE
    FOUR: BLUE
    FIVE: GREEN
    SIX: YELLOW/GOLD
    SEVEN: ORANGE
    EIGHT: RED
    NINE: PINK

    "So the colors that I associated with each of the Enneagram Personality Types is all related to the wavelengths in a rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. (ROY G BIV). You see that seven of the nine Enneagram Types quickly fall into place: Type 8 (Red), Type 7 (Orange), Type 6 (Yellow), Type 5 (Green), Type 4 (Blue), Type 3 (Purple/Indigo), Type 2 (Violet) easily fall into place using this logic. The last two Enneagram Personality Types were easily derived With Type 1 being assigned White, the color associated with purity and cleanliness and Type 9 being assigned Pink, which is derived by blending white and red colors." http://enneagramanalysis.hubpages.com/hub/Enneagram-Mandela-with-Type-Color-Associations

    Interesting! I'm a 6w4w1 triad. Do you know how this corresponds with DYT? I'm a DYT 1w4, ENFP, triple Scorpio if that helps? Thanks!

    As far as I know there's no correlation. There are colors for the enneagram.
