Color Codes
Tying a string around your finger as a reminder is an ancient tradition, thought to keep an idea from escaping — literally tying the idea to yourself.
The String-Ring is a cue to remind yourself and those who notice it, to be kind to one another. To do a kind act, say, or even think something kind. Each color of string represents a specific kindness reminder.
Colors signify different things from culture to culture. When choosing the color string to be worn on your String-Ring, keep in mind some of these common meanings to communicate your intentions.
