Looking for Insights Discovery Cards?
If you’re searching for Insights Discovery cards, Insights cards or an Insights card game to use with your team, the Colour Energies Team Building Card Game provides an independent, ready-to-use option based around the familiar four colour energies.
Perhaps your team has previously completed Insights Discovery profiles. Maybe you’ve attended an Insights workshop yourself. Or perhaps you’ve simply encountered the four colour energies and want a practical resource that helps bring them to life.
You don’t need to start again.
The game enables teams to use their existing understanding of colour energies to explore behaviour, communication preferences and the differences between people.
And because Colour Energies is independent, you don’t need Insights Discovery accreditation to purchase or use the cards.
Already know Insights? Build on what you know.
Never used Insights? The game works perfectly well without it.

216 physical cards. Four colour energies. Hundreds of possible conversations.
The Colour Energies Card Game is a professionally printed set of 216 behavioural statement cards, divided across the four colour energies.
Each card contains a simple behavioural statement that participants can respond to, discuss and explore together. The cards are designed to be handled, sorted, selected and shared — making them an easy and engaging way to move conversations about personality and behaviour away from theory and into practical team discussion.
Use the cards as a standalone team communication activity or alongside colour-based approaches such as Insights Discovery, DISC and C-me.
A practical resource you can use again and again with teams, workshops and development programmes.
A Team Building Card Game That Transforms Team Communication
Understanding a behavioural model is useful.
Talking about what actually happens between people is where change begins.
Most teams already understand their jobs. What they struggle with is what happens when different people try to work together:
- Miscommunication
- Different working styles
- Friction
- Assumptions about other people’s behaviour
- Avoided conversations
- People communicating in the way they prefer rather than the way someone else needs
The Colour Energies Team Building Card Game gives teams a simple structure for having those conversations.
A Simple Way to Start Better Conversations
The game contains 216 colour energy cards, divided equally between Red, Yellow, Green and Blue Energy.
Each card contains a behavioural statement that gives people something tangible to discuss.
Use the cards to:
- Explore individual behaviour
- Recognise different communication styles
- Understand how others may experience you
- Discuss similarities and differences within the team
- Identify potential communication blind spots
- Open up conversations that might otherwise never happen
There are no questionnaires to complete and no reports to interpret.
Open the box and start the conversation.
Already Use Insights Discovery®? Put That Knowledge to Work
Many teams have experienced Insights Discovery and already understand the four colour energies.
The challenge is often what happens afterwards.
Profiles may have been discussed during a workshop, but teams still need practical ways to bring that understanding into everyday communication.
The Colour Energies Card Game provides a simple way to continue those conversations.
It can be used as a follow-on team activity for people familiar with Insights Discovery, helping participants move from understanding colour preferences to discussing how those behaviours actually affect communication and working relationships.
For facilitators, managers and team leaders looking for Insights cards or practical Insights team activities, the game provides a resource that can be purchased and used without requiring Insights Discovery accreditation.
No Insights Experience? No Problem.
The game doesn’t require Insights Discovery, DISC, C-me or any other behavioural profile.
Everything needed to run the activity is contained within the game.
That makes it suitable for:
- Team meetings
- Away days
- Leadership sessions
- Communication workshops
- Team development programmes
- Facilitated events
- Icebreakers where you want considerably more than an icebreaker
Whether participants already understand colour energies or are encountering them for the first time, the cards provide the starting point.
Run a Team Session in 30–60 Minutes
No complicated preparation.
No accreditation programme.
No individual profiles to purchase.
The game provides a structured team activity that can be run in 30–60 minutes, or explored in greater depth as part of a longer workshop.
It’s designed for:
- Team leaders
- Managers
- Coaches
- HR and L&D professionals
- Independent facilitators
- Consultants
Use it as a standalone activity or integrate it into your existing team-development programme.
A Practical Alternative to Personality Profiling
Traditional behavioural profiling can be extremely useful, but it isn’t always necessary.
Profiles can involve questionnaires, individual reports, accredited practitioners and significant investment before the team conversation even begins.
Sometimes you simply need to get people talking.
The Colour Energies Team Building Card Game provides a practical alternative.
It can also complement existing profiling. So whether your organisation already uses Insights Discovery®, DISC, C-me or another behavioural framework, or doesn’t use profiling at all, the game provides a simple way to turn behavioural awareness into conversation.
What Happens When Teams Use It?
The cards help move conversations away from abstract personality labels and towards observable behaviour.
People begin to recognise:
- Why colleagues communicate differently
- Why one person’s enthusiasm can overwhelm someone else
- Why attention to detail can be interpreted as unnecessary caution
- Why directness can sometimes feel confrontational
- Why someone else’s need for harmony may look like avoidance
Instead of deciding that someone is simply difficult, the team develops another question:
What might be driving that behaviour?
That’s where understanding starts to change communication.
