I had a white-blue upbringing and a blue-green career (see below); my hobbies are black-green-white (compost makes my garden grow to feed our community); my vices are green-red; and my politics are five-color (at least to me).
Almost all of my professional career has been in sysadmin and SRE roles: which is tech (blue) but cares about keeping things reliable and sustainable (green) rather than pursuing novelty (red). Within tech’s blue, it seems to me that developer roles run blue-red (build the exciting new feature!); management roles run blue-white (what orderly social rules will enable intelligence?); and venture capital runs blue-black (how do we get cleverness to make money for us?); while SRE and similar roles run blue-green.
My garden runs on blood, bones, rot, and worm poop: green-black Golgari territory, digesting the unwanted to feed the wanted. I stick my hands in the dirt to feel the mycorrhizae. But the point of the garden is to share food with others (green-white) because it makes me feel good (black-red). I’m actually kinda terrible at applying blue to my hobbies, and should really collect some soil samples for lab testing one of these days.
