Reimagining personality assessments through the science of color

For decades, researchers have explored how color influences perception across cultures, geographies, and genders. The Color Emotion Guide in the 1960s and Nippon’s experiments in the ’80s both uncovered a striking truth—color isn’t just aesthetic, it’s psychological. People consistently associate specific color patterns with emotion, motivation, and even action. OpenSesame built on that foundation to create something entirely new: the color assessment. Developed through hundreds of experiments with diverse participants, this one-minute experience uses patented machine learning to map 1,560 color patterns to 150 personality traits. It draws from color theory, cognitive psychology, and the work of Gardner and Holland to surface traits like learning style, workplace values, and personal strengths—without the bias that typically clouds personality tests. The result? Fast, scientifically sound insights that help match people to roles, teams, and learning paths where they’ll thrive. And for L&D teams stretched thin, it means smarter decisions, more aligned learning, and less time spent guessing.
