TikTok's Latest Trend Is The "Blue Person" And The "Pink Person." Here's How To Find Out Who You Are.
My careful and frequent scrolling through TikTok alerted me to a new trend. This time, instead of being gruesome or mind-boggling, it's actually pretty wholesome.

People are discussing the different friendships you have throughout your life and the purpose those friends serve by using colors as ways to identify certain significant people in your circle.

One TikTok describes your pink person as "someone that has been there as much as you can remember."
"The person that will always be there for you and loves and adores you so much overall, they are your hero."
Equally important, but in different ways, is your blue person.

Your blue person is "someone who came into your life when you needed someone the most."
"They simply changed your perspective on life," another TikToker wrote. "They are someone you can always count on, and know they will be there to listen to you vent. Someone who brings out the real in you. Your life wouldn't be the same if they weren't around."
Now if the trend seems a bit familiar to you, it's probably because it's made rounds on the app before.

Back in 2020, people were assigning different personality traits to the different colors of the rainbow.
And in 2021, there was a color personality test that went viral on the platform, although the results gave more niche responses than other variations of the trend — like vanilla ice, quartz, alice blue, ocean bay, warm flame, and periglacial blue.

With all that in mind, here are a few other color personalities you'll see around.

There's your red person who is "the person who you instantly clicked with."
You can count on your red person to "bring out the best in you" and be "genuine," one TikToker explains.
"Always there for you when you need them. Will never let you think badly about yourself. You can always talk to them about anything and they won't ever judge."
There's also your orange person, "someone you randomly met one day and now [you] can't see life without them."
Your yellow person is the one "you instantly clicked with."
"Talking/being with them brings out the best in you. The most genuine soul you've met," one user explains. "Always there for you when you need them. Will never let you think badly about yourself. You can always talk to them about anything and they won't ever judge."
Green people come into your life at "random," and you become "inseparable" with them.
"You feel like you can tell them anything... They are such a special friend and you never want to leave them."
Last but not least, you've got your purple people, the ones who "made it better by simply being there."
So even though it's all about the pink and blue people right now, your most valuable friendship could be any color of the rainbow.
