July Edition of the Color-Personality Series
This month, we’re diving into the world of Turquoise – a color that feels like a deep breath, a salty breeze, and a moment of stillness all at once. Meet Gaia Maris, our July muse in the What If Color Were a Person? series.
She’s that friend who never rushes you. Who shows up barefoot with sea glass in her pockets and the kind of calm energy that makes your shoulders drop the second she smiles. Gaia lives somewhere between green and blue – like she belongs both in the ocean and the sky. And honestly, she kind of does.
Who is Gaia Maris?
Gaia’s in her late twenties, and even though she teaches breathwork, you’ll rarely hear her call herself a teacher. She prefers “guide.” She leads with softness, listens with her whole heart, and always seems to know when you need silence instead of advice.
She has long red hair that’s usually tangled by the wind, and her eyes? Ocean blue, with a spark that says she’s seen things you wouldn’t expect. Her clothes flow like water – light fabrics in sea tones that move with her. Always barefoot, always grounded.
And okay, I admit it, maybe I was channeling a bit of The Little Mermaid when Gaia first came to life. I mean, long red hair, beautiful voice, ocean energy… it’s giving mermaid. But she’s the grown-up version – the one who found her voice and uses it in the most healing ways.
Because yes, Gaia can sing. And it’s not just pretty – it’s soul-soothing. She sings like she breathes: naturally, gently, often without realizing it. Around a campfire, during a morning swim, or while making tea. Her voice has that raw, crystal-clear quality that makes people pause mid-sentence just to listen.
Gaia doesn’t keep a strict schedule. She follows rhythms: moon phases, tides, her own intuition. One morning she might hold a breathwork circle on the beach. The next, she’ll cancel everything to take a long walk by the cliffs, collecting shells and letting her thoughts drift. Structure just isn’t her thing. Flow is.
People love being around her because she makes space – emotionally, physically, energetically. She doesn’t judge, she doesn’t fix. She just is. That’s her magic. Friends say conversations with Gaia feel like exhaling. Even kids and animals gravitate to her, sensing that softness.
She’s a bit indecisive, sure. Planning trips with her can take forever. But once she does decide, she’s all in – curious, open, and fully present. She laughs easily, sings quietly when she thinks no one’s listening, and believes deeply in the power of breath and water to heal.
