How to Sign "Colors"

“Colors” is signed by wiggling the fingers of your dominant hand at your chin:

  • Hold your dominant hand near your chin with palm facing in.
  • Wiggle your fingers (index to pinky) gently in place near the chin.
  • The hand should stay close to the chin but not touch it.

Tips

  • Wiggle your fingers naturally — avoid stiff or sharp motions.
  • This sign is often followed by a color name (like RED, BLUE).

Common Mistakes

  • Touching the chin — the hand should stay close but not make contact.
  • Wiggling too fast or randomly — keep it smooth.

“Color” starts near your chin — think of it as radiating beauty from your face!
