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:
“Hoot how the inhuman colors fell
Into place beside her, where she was,
Like human conciliations, more like
A profounder reconciling, an act,
An affirmation free from doubt.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
