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:
“One wonders that the tithing-men and fathers of the town are not out to see what the trees mean by their high colors and exuberance of spirits, fearing that some mischief is brewing. I do not see what the Puritans did at this season, when the maples blaze out in scarlet. They certainly could not have worshiped in groves then. Perhaps that is what they built meeting-houses and fenced them round with horse-sheds for.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
