About
The color pie or "color wheel" is a concept used by the card-trading game Magic: The Gathering (MtG) as a way of categorizing how individuals are motivated. Although it was created for usage in a fictional context, it seems to map fairly well to how real people are motivated.
The colors are shown on the back of every MtG card in a pentagonal pattern, such that each color is opposite two other colors which generally oppose that color's motivations (its "enemies"). Clockwise from the top, the colors are:
- white: order, peace, safety, community, civilization; following rules, and making sure other people follow them; absolutism
- enemies: red, black
- 2015-07-13: The Great White Way Revisited
- politics: believes that people need to be part of an ordered system; this can trend either towards support for diversity (a left wing value) or maximizing the power of a society by excluding those deemed inferior (a right wing value).
- blue: perfection, purity, discovering yourself, opportunity
- enemies: red, green

- enemies: green, white
- politics: right wing, might makes right

Fully-realized characters (or real-life individuals) most often consist of some combination of these traits, often including colors that are mutual "enemies". An example:
- blue, red, white:
