Dot Colors
Every year a group of fellows is selected, the cohort is assigned a color, and thereafter wears a sticker (or dot) of that color to national mathematics meetings of the MAA. There are seven colors for the stickers, so cohort seven years apart have the same color sticker, although they are assigned a different name. Colors are frequently chosen according to the location of MathFest in the year of selection (for example, the peach dots first meeting was in Georgia, and the Brown dots first meeting was at Brown University). The colors since inception of the program are listed in the following table:
| Red years | Green years | Blue years | Orange years | Silver years | Brown years | Gold years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1994: red | 1995: green | 1996: blue | 1997: peach | 1998: silver | 1999: brown | 2000: gold |
| 2001: cardinal | 2002: forest | 2003: sky | 2004: orange | 2005: sterling | 2006: sepia | 2007: sun |
| 2008: red/08 | 2009: green/09 | 2010: blue/10 | 2011: peach/11 | 2012: silver/12 |
The color yellow is reserved for Section NExT fellows.

Famous quotes containing the word colors:
“Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
