I'm working on a project. An art project.
Because I'm an obsessive Ti+Si, my white whale has for years been to create a diagram of the functions that is colorful and easy to read. This means each function gets a color. I have been learning that human psychology makes this impossible. Everyone loves red and/or blue, and very few people like yellow and orange. Pe-leads' favorite colors tend to remain in flux, so picking a single color for them wouldn't do the psychology justice. I personally tend to associate a weird golden yellow mustard to Te, for no other reason than that I identify least with that color and function. The only solid thing I can say for sure is that Si is brown (sometimes gray, sometimes green) and that Ti is some cool bluish tone.
Anyway, I'm not here to brag about my failures. I'm here to ask everyone what colors they personally associate with each function, if they do so at all. Shapes and types of motion are also legitimate input.
I'm an artist with a particular love for creature design, so I want to make creatures that represent each function that are absolutely subjective to my perceptions, but still communicate a solid concept about what the functions do and what they feel like.
Any thoughts?
