The Color Of Covid Color Explainations

	A	C	D
1	Grid #	Color	Meaning

2	AA	Green	For being outside
3	AB	All the Colors Blending Together	Because there were so many feelings, all the feels that were happening at once! Happy ones, scary ones, bored ones
4	AC	Sky Blue	I've been relaxed and rested since retirement.
5	AD	Purple (the whole spectrum)	It's darkness represents the bad, depressing and loss. It is also one of my favorite colors whenit's a little more towards the lighter side. This represents the good that has come from the pandemic.
6	AE	Orange	It's the color I have a love hate relationship with. It always surprises me, and when found in nature, it calms me.
7	AF	Medical Mask Blue
8	AG	Puke Green	Because it felt very apocalyptic in the beginning.
9	AH	Black: Tornado Black with Greys & White	The reason for this color - to be super honest, I had postpartum depression during this pandemic. Covid brought on a majority of my depression. Having a baby and not feeling safe with family visiting, all the unknowns about Covid in the beginning, having to have a million conversations with my partner so that we were on the same page about safety for our newborn son and still hoping we were doing the right thing, not seeing friends and family, missing live music, shoot at the beginning missing running a simple trip to the grocery store. Not knowing when we would have light at the end of the tunnel. Having our first baby during a global pandemic scary as fuck. Hurting families feelings because they couldn't meet their new family member. The new, everyone dying or getting sick from Covid. The president at the time. The news made my stomach hurt.
10	AI	Beige	Boring, disgusting, lifeless, soul-crushing, not-even-as-cool-as-grey beige.
11	AJ	Grey	Because everything just IS!
12	AK	Zoom Logo Blue	It has been one of my biggest stressors - being stuck in front of a screen in a now sitting still job, but it has also been my connection to family, friends and students when I can't see them IRL.
13	AL	Maroon or Crimson	Bold Color. Blood. Heartache. Wine. But also not black and all dark as there have been positives too and I am personally doing okay.
14	AM	Chocolate Brown	It's been dark and deep but I also really love that color. The warmth of it - and there have been things that have been ok and even a gift. I get to have my sweet little family of 3 together all the time and we still love and enjoy each other. We've had the priviledge of staying safe and well.
15	AN	Green	Bc to me it symbolizes growth which we did a lot of during quarantine. And we were lucky enough to be outside and walk and see all the greenery.
16	AO	Night to Bright Sunshiney Day	My life has completely changed from the pandemic. At first very negatively. Now the polar opposite. I went from dark to bright. Bright sunshiney day is how I describe it now. Very dark during the peak of the pandemic.
17	AP	Rainbow	it would have to be a whole rainbow of colors since experiences day to day have been so varied. Each day seems to bring something new, and emotions have run the gamut. I picture splotches of paint of all different colors in no particular order, randomly covering the page or canvas.
18	AQ	Red	Wearing a mask and doing all kinds of things I don't wnat to do - I don't like it.
19	BA	Blue-Green
20	BB	Sage - muted but light	Parts have obviously been 'muted' but I have had more time to create - I am home with my children - my husband was home with us for a time... there have been benefits for my small family and I am forever grateful for that small gift.
21	BC	Muted Steely Grey Green
22	BD	Zoom Blue
23	BE	White	For new beginnings, clean slates, and opportunities that the pandemic has afforded some people.
24	BF	Dark Grey Fog	Sprinkle it with grief, anxiety and paranoia.
25	BG	Aquamarine	It's been very chill for me after the beginning. I guess because I have been home for the most part and teaching remotely this entire time. Plus my kids are all home with me, lots of bonding over the months.
26	BH
27	BI	Gray	Nothing bright about it. Monotonous. Ominous. If I were to imagine the weather of tthis period of time from a future perspective, it rained everyday.
28	BJ	Red	Emotions like anger, frustration, total fear, not a relaxing color, confusion and more ... red to me.
29	BK	Blue (the whole spectrum)	Blues have this shade scale where they can be dark (navy) for mental health down days, and then can be bright blues to represent the happy times (outdoor birthdays, family time, adopting a dog, working from home, wearing sweatpants every day!)
30	BL	Yellow	Mostly because of how everything will eventually be light and bright again; significance of hope for our world, even in the dark, there is light! Things need to die for something new to bloom.
31	BM	Cafe au Lait Color	Coffee in the morning and coffee frozen yogurt at night.
32	BN	Grey	2020 was all grey to me. I wanted to justify fun colors, but just can't. My color is Grey. just kinda blah...
33	BO	Black & Yellow. Not mixed I think.	Black like the color of my yoga pants. and Yellow b/c my personal 2020 was pretty awesome. New home and a new ray of sunshine in my Maddie.
34	BP	Purple, Red & White & Beige	Purple- red and blue mixed together: Red for angry!! Blue for sad and lonely. White- TP crisis. (Lol) and.. White for me represents isolated like in a padded room with no escape and confused in a blizzard
35	BQ	Purple	Because we got to be at home. And then we had to be at home.
36	CA	Medical Mask Blue	Because everywhere you went you had to wear a mask, or saw medical staff in masks.
37	CB	Orange	Because it's always the last freeze pop color left. Everyone likes the other colors more, but it's still pretty good. At least for me, the pandemic has been tough, but I've still been able to enjoy myself.
38	CC	Yellow	We do have some vaccines now, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel. And because we had to be cautious this whole time.
39	CE	Red	Because I feel like it has just been one thing after another and that seems to go along with red and anger.
40	CF	Yellow
41	CF	Yellow	The color of happiness. So many sunny days for an April in the mountains. Took long bike rides and walks each day. Lots of time with my daughter because she was teaching remotely. One of the most creative times in my life because I painted every day because I wasn't working. Idaho Springs was like it was 25 years ago before tourists and everyone was really a neighbor again, so happy to have our town to ourselves and spend time with each other. The amazing summer we had selling art. I paddleboarded every day at Georgetown lake. Realizing what an amazing community and friends I had!
42	CG	Grey Spectrum
43	CH	Gray	It feels heavy and you can't see through it, like heavy clouds. There's no brightness or change in anything.
44	CI	Grey	Just blah. Maybe the current stretch of gray cloudy rainy weather is also 'coloring' my vote.
45	CJ	Magenta	"Magenta. Magenta. That's what I call it when I get that way. All kinds of feelings tumbling all over themselves. Well you know, you're not quite blue, because you're not really sad. And although you're a little bit jealous, you wouldn't say you're green with envy. And every now and then you realize you're kinda scared, but you'd hardly call yourself yellow. I hate that feeling. I just hate it. And I hate the color magenta. That's why I named it that. Magenta." - Blanche, The Golden Girls
46	CK	First Black. But really actually a Rose color.	This whole experience has really been one of opening ourselves up to new experiences and growth. We have had to become creative in our efforts to plan our days and activities. We have enjoyed slowing down. Realizing the benefits after the fact.
47	CL	Hot Pink
48	CM	Dark Dark Dark Almost Black Green	Loss, rot, heaviness, growth.
49	CN	Red
50	CO	Blue, Grey & Purple	Grey for all the deaths, sadness and turmoil of the past year - and blue for all my blessings, including my three new and three already born helathy grand babies, adn the hope that there are better years ahead. Of course, a little purple always helps.
51	CP	Red, Grey, Yellow	when everything started RED I felt very anxious and a little angry. As it progressed GRAY I got very depressed and SAD for myself etc. I started doing work on myself and focused on my family especially my Littles and my world definitely turned YELLOW I found peace within the chaos.
52	CQ	Grey Blue - maybe with some Coral	It's been grey, but people are ready to add some color back in.
53	DA	New Growth Green	I've been forced to grow in a lot of new directions this year.
54	DB	Colorado Clear Blue Sky	For me, the pandemic has been mostly a good experience and mostly normal (like our 300 days of sunshine a year). I was able to keep doing so many of the things I love to do. I have felt mostly emotionally stable. And I have kind of enjoyed the changes with school. The moments I swing into realizing what's changed or what didn't happen (like visiting family or what I've missed have been like the few random days of snow or weather moving in.
55	DC	Red	They always colored the spikes on the coronavirus with red.
56	DD	Green	Green equals growth, perhaps meaning fresh eyes on both my life as well as opening my eyes to bigger things. While green is my favorite color, there are certainly ugly shades, which we've certainly seen through out the country over the past year.
57	DE	Green	For the trees that clean our air and help us breathe when we're wearing our masks.
58	DF	Grey	Seems like everything this year has been muted.
59	DG	Sunburnt Orange
60	DH	Yellow	Caution tape is yellow and I felt like no one knew what was happening so we were very cautious.
61	DI	White	I covered white walls with paint, spend a lot of time in the warm white light of the sun, and overall this time has felt bright and clean to me, actually.
62	DJ	Soft Yellow	We spent the majority of time in our home. We put in two new windows and a front porch. Our daughter, Louisa, brought a new light into our lives. A lot of new light was brought in during this time.
63	DK	Red	All the chaos and overwhelming changes and experiences the pandemic has brought into our daily lives.
64	DL	Green	There was a lot of growth during the pandemic in my life.
65	DM	Goldish	We've by and large managed to escape deaths in the family and I've had more time with Chelsea and the boys without so many distractions and busyness of normal times. Plus, I've been blessed enough to keep my job and be able to enjoy all of this extra time together. I would never have I chance to know the people I love in this way without this period of forced slow down, so it has some glow to it. At the same time, that's not all real because this time has been marked by a lot of heartache and sadness for people I love who are struggling and our country having a much needed but very painful reckoning. So gold seems appropriately glowy and yet not altogether real.
66	DN	Purple	The pandemic had both the shocking, stopping harsh qualities of red and the discovery and change of blue. Both different experiences but mixed together they make a beautiful purple and I truly grew and learned so much from my experience in the pandemic both personally and professionally.
67	DO	Turquoise/Purple
68	DP	Muted Mixed Yellow & Grey	Trying to stay upbeat/positive and find joy but also lots of dark grey days. Lots of uncertainty, lack of clarity, therefore the muted color.
69	DQ	Blue	Everything became very peaceful and quiet when things shut down, and I really was able to enjoy that peace.
70	EA	White
71	EB	Blue	Sad. But also blue is my favorite color and I met some of my favorite people.
72	EC	White	Hopeful for good change. Also to represent the simple things in life that many of us take for granted that disappeared during the height of Covid and lockdown requirements: like Good Games on a river trip.
73	ED	Dark Grey	Because it's not up or down.
74	EE	Red	Lots of confusion, anger and anxiety. Powerful, sometimes positive, sometimes negative, but always in your face.
75	EF	Green
76	EG	Red	Cause every time I wanted to go do something, someone was saying Stop.
77	EH	Washed Out Blue-Grey Sky
78	EI	Teal	This time has been filled with a lot of blue. Sadness, loneliness, depression, but it has also been filled with so much green! I feel like I have grown so much as a person, a friend, a counselor and a partner during this crazy time. So teal is the perfect mix of loneliness and inner peace!
79	EJ	Blue-Grey
80	EK	Deep Blue	I see it as a really beautiful color, but can be viewed with a dark side too because of the color itself being so dark. So I would say the pandemic for me has been two extremes of beautiful and then really dark and depressing. A midnight type of blue.
81	EL	Ocean Blue	Because I feel like my experience and feelings ebbed and flowed like waves on the beach.
82	EM	Grey	This seems like such a transitional time of waiting in the 'beween' spaces, its as though life has lost some vibrancy and is somber as we all greive the loss of so many lives. It is also a time of introspection, creativity and hope. Gray seems like the blank slate ready for something more when the time comes.
83	EN	Peach	I closed my mind and thought 'pandemic color' and that's what I came up with. If I try to ascribe a meaning I think maybe it's bc of our little kitties having that orange/buff/peach tone. And they've been really just a delight and cuddly love this whole time. Keeping both me and Simon sane.
84	EO	Blue (black to pale shiny)
85	EP	Teal, Wavy Like Water with Ripples	My new boat is teal, got it last year, had lots of awesome adventures on it and without it on water all over the west. It's an uplifting color and think a lot of people got the dark blues last year!
86	EQ	Green Veined with Red & Black	I'm an ISA certified arborist and have been able to stay out in the green things. Red for the anger everyone else is dealing with. Black for the experiences that so many other people are having where their livelihoods and health have been severely impacted.
87	FA	Purple	Good and Bad - Blue and Red mixed together.
88	FB	Grey
89	FC	Bruise	Every time you would start to heal and things would start looking up, you get kicked down again. The bruise that would never heal.
90	FD	Grey	Because of the general oppressiveness of each day being like the last. Not truely terrible, but nonetheless, bad.
91	FE	Skin Tone	We each have our own skin color - and we've each experienced the pandemic differently, in our own ways.
92	FF	Purple (the whole spectrum)	Purple can make me feel warm and cozy and peaceful, but also sometimes lonely and deep in my thoughts/feelings - just depends on the day. And that's kind of how this whole experience has been for me... hights and lows and lots of introspection.
93	FG	Trombone	A mix of yellow and a greyish color - grey representing the constant worry and general gloominess I felt throughout this pandemic, and yellow representing the amazing bright spots with Jaime and other smaller moments that became really treasured in the midst of all this chaos.
94	FH	Orange. The color of Fire: The combination of red and yellow	Red for life when it's properly contained and red for death when the body is compromised with no help. And red anger that assumptions are amde and influence has hands over ears with eyes closed and mouth babbling "truth." Yellow for the sun faithfully coming up each morning often with glorious color and the dark leaves. Warmth comes. Happy can be experienced, tears can be seen and hands can possibly reach out before the sun goes down, often with glorious colors, to faithfully return again.
95	FI	Lime Green	Because that's the color I associate with nausea. I am Sick of this pandemic and everything that goes with it.
96	FJ	Dark Blue	Navy Blue, because it feels safe and comfortable like home is and she's been safe at home. But it's also sad and dark like it feels outside and not seeing family and friends because it's scary.
97	FK	Green	Because now everytime I touch something I think of germs.
98	FL	A Green/Yellow/Grey	Like the gross color the sky turns before a tornado. I always think its the color of anxiety and isolation. Turmoil. This year has been tough. Lots of anxiety about the unknown.
99	FM	Light Tannish Brown	The color of Beau's dog food. Because it's a combination of yellow and brown. Yellow for me is a beautiful, sunny, happy day and brown is dark, sad heavy, but not as bad as a black day. Together they give you a light tannish brown, which symbolizes for me that the whole pandemic has been somewhat sad and heavy, but not completely. The fact that so many have died has always been with me, and made me sad. It kept me from those yellow days.
100	FN	Purple - Red & Blue Mixed	Red for all the crabby and cranky people I have had to deal with at work or 'listen' to on Facebook for the last year politically or pandemic-ally and blue for the hope that is now shining a bit more.
