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:
“The butterfly’s attractiveness derives not only from colors and symmetry: deeper motives contribute to it. We would not think them so beautiful if they did not fly, or if they flew straight and briskly like bees, or if they stung, or above all if they did not enact the perturbing mystery of metamorphosis: the latter assumes in our eyes the value of a badly decoded message, a symbol, a sign.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
