In The endless search of marketers trying to find the next big product, they have turned to more bizarre psychological methods to try and appeal to all different types of people. A particular Theory purposed by William Marston in 1928. Marston proposed that no matter what your background was, your interests and personality fell in a certain category relating to 1 of four colors. Marston truly believed that your color (usually your favorite color) also told a lot about your personality. The colors were:
- Yellow: Influential and charismatic.
- Red: Dominant and inspirational
- Blue: Detailed and methodical
- Green: Steady, and a Team Player.
This Theory, Known as the DISC theory, was then modified in the late 70s by Gary Couture in order to be used in the economic market. The modifies theory changed the color category, to specific types of bird:
- Peacock - Yellow
- Eagle - Red
- Owl - Blue
- Dove - Green
