Marigold is the hue of spark.
You light up around people and ideas, and you tend to warm a room just by walking into it. Your energy is at its best when things are new, and it can flag when they turn repetitive. Your risk is starting more than you finish, or smoothing over things that needed saying. Takeaway: pick one thing you began with enthusiasm and give it one more week, and ask a friend to check in on it. This is a self-reflection quiz built on our own four-hue model, not a validated measure, and it describes how you answered today.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be Marigold?
It means that across sixteen everyday scenarios, the answers you chose most often were the ones that involve people, ideas and a bit of spark. Marigold is the hue of sharing: you bring energy, people and ideas together. It describes a pattern in how you answered today, not a fixed trait.
What if Marigold is my second hue?
Marigold as your second hue adds spark: you bring people and ideas along with you. Your primary hue sets your default style, and Marigold is the gear that makes a plan feel shared rather than assigned.
How is Marigold different from the other three hues?
Scarlet looks forward to direction and progress, Jade looks after the people already in the room and Cobalt looks inward for depth and quality. Marigold looks outward: it is drawn to new people, new ideas and the energy between them. Everyone has some of each hue, so the bars show the whole mix.
What should a Marigold watch out for?
Starting more than you finish, and smoothing over things that needed saying. A useful habit is to pick one thing you began with enthusiasm, give it one more week and ask a friend to check in on it. The point is not to dampen the spark, only to give it somewhere to land.
Can my primary hue change?
Yes. The result reflects how you answered today and the situations you had in mind. Retake the test while picturing a different part of your life, such as work instead of weekends, and compare. The quiz is for self-reflection and fun, so treat a different result as another angle, not a contradiction.
