How to Sign "Color"
“Color” is signed by fluttering the fingers of your dominant hand in front of your chin:
- Hold your dominant hand open with fingers spread slightly.
- Place the tips of your fingers near your chin (without touching it).
- Wiggle your fingers in place a few times — like color blooming or shifting.
Tips
- Imagine a splash of colors spreading from your chin — that’s the idea!
- Keep your fingers relaxed and movement gentle, not exaggerated.
Common Mistakes
- Touching your chin — the fingers should stay close, but not touch.
- Making the motion too fast or jerky — keep it smooth and fluttery.
Think: “Colors radiate from your face — like expression!”
