About

Who's Your Green / Pink / Blue Person is a TikTok trend in which users post videos asking viewers who their "pink," "blue," "green" or other color person is, then define the character traits associated with each color. In some videos, the uploader shows images of their "person" matching the color's definition. The trend began on TikTok as early as 2021 and became increasingly popularized in mid-2023.

Origin

It is unclear when the "Green/Pink/Blue Person" trend initially began on the platform, however, videos following the trend became increasingly prevalent on TikTok^[1]^[2] throughout 2021 (examples shown below). The videos typically ask who your "person" is and give a designated color, then a definition that attributes characteristics to the color.

The definitions for several of the most prominent "[color] persons" are:

Pink Person: Someone who has seen you at your best and at your worst and hasn't left your side.
Blue Person: Someone who is your comfort person, makes you feel safe and takes away your worries.
Orange Person: Someone you have known for less than a year but they already changed your life for the better.
Green Person: Someone who randomly became a part of your life one day and saved you; now you can't imagine life without them.

Spread

The trend remained prevalent over the following years, seeing a rise in interest in May and early June 2023. That year, TikTokers^[3]^[4] began showing images or clips of their "[color] person" after writing, "who's your [color]" (examples shown below).
