Color Signs

place your dominant hand (open-5 shape) on your upper chest with fingertips touching. Pull the hand outward and away from your chest, closing your fingers and thumb together into a "squashed O" or "pinched" handshape.

draw your dominant index finger straight across your forehead from left to right, often mimicking a brow or hair line.

make the letter 'P' (thumb tucked between index and middle fingers, or index finger bent down touching the thumb) and shake it slightly back and forth.

form your dominant hand into a loose "C" shape, then squeeze it into an "S" handshape (a closed fist) twice in front of your mouth or chin.

form the letter "G" with your dominant hand (thumb and index finger touching, forming a circle, other fingers tucked). Hold your hand with the palm facing inward and shake it back and forth/twist the wrist twice.

use your dominant hand with the index finger extended (like the number "1") and stroke it down your chin or lower lip, often bending the finger into an "X" shape as you move, suggesting red lips or blood.

he color blue is signed by making the letter "B" (fingers extended and together, thumb tucked across the palm) and shaking or twisting the hand slightly from the wrist or elbow.

orm the letter "P" with your dominant hand (index finger extended, middle finger bent down, thumb tucked under) and brush the tip of the middle finger twice down your chin or lips.

forming the letter "B" with your dominant hand (thumb resting across the palm, fingers together) and sliding the index finger side of the hand downward along the side of your cheek.

form the letter "Y" with your dominant hand—extending your thumb and pinky finger while curling the middle three fingers into your palm.

COLOR is signed by placing your dominant hand in a "5" shape (fingers spread) with the palm facing inward near your chin, wiggling the fingertips back and forth. This sign can be used to ask for colors or indicate "coloring".

touch your earlobe (representing a gold earring) and then transition into signing "yellow" (shaking a 'Y' handshape). It signifies a bright yellow, similar to the color of the metal.
