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.
Has anyone tried duncan sabien’s colour wheel thing?

My colours: Red, followed by Blue, followed by Black
I don’t know, I also see them as the traits needed in different stages of a movement.
Red = freedom from previous movement.
Blue = figuring out how to organise a new movement.
Black = executing the movement to its intended ends.
