East Fork Color Pairings By Enneagram Type
We’re big fans of the Enneagram over at #TeamEastFork, so we couldn’t resist matching up the Enneagram’s nine personality types with our core and seasonal colors. We kinda figure that if you can use the Enneagram to help you show up as your best self, you can use it to dream up your best kitchen shelfie, too.
Type 1: The Reformer
Keep it practical with black and white. The sleek contrast of bright, airy Eggshell alongside Black Mountain’s understated elegance reflects The Reformer’s penchant for perfectionism and principles.
Type 2: The Helper
Sunny with a side of rain. The Helper’s generous, people-pleasing nature is reflected in Piglet and Butter, while Soapstone grounds the warm-hearted hues with a soft, emotional bluish-gray tint.
Type 3: The Achiever
Big collegiate vibes. The Achiever’s focus on success and pragmatism felt like a dose of Lapis gemstone blue, combined with Big Sky’s soaring, high-skies. Add in a bright dash of Tequila Sunrise for all the energy this type can bring to the room.
Type 4: The Individualist
Luxe havens and firelight chats. The sensitive, artistic nature of The Individualist craves the dramatic, moody colors of Nightswim and Prune, while Harvest Moon and Amaro lend a deep, autumnal magic to the scene.
Type 5: The Investigator
Innovation meets intensity. The bright green of Celery, layered with Orchard’s riparian green reflects the heady energy of The Investigator. This type’s tendency toward secrecy shows up in Black Mountain’s shadows.
Type 6: The Loyalist
Mix-and-match essentials. Committing to core neutrals speaks to the responsible, practical aspects of The Loyalist’s character. Blue Ridge, Amaro, and Morel make engaging, unexpected pairings.
Type 7: The Enthusiast
Let’s do all the things. The bright palette of The Enthusiast matches their busy, fun-loving personalities. Rococo and Pollen are the essence of spontaneity, while Secret Beach wants to plot another diversion.
Type 8: The Challenger
Power trio. Nothing’s more confident than black, white, and red. The Challenger’s decisive will is clear in the dynamic combination of Henri’s Red, Black Mountain, and Eggshell.
Type 9: The Peacemaker
Still waters, a lavender breeze. The Peacemaker’s chill colors remind us of a lullaby. Taro, Malibu, and Big Sky soothe the eye, and Panna Cotta’s easygoing off-white gives off those agreeable vibes.
