    Why is the Apple card a “Chameleon”? Check out what each color means

    Managing your finances has never been more Instagrammable than it is in 2019.

    In March this year, Apple made several announcements that would be it focus it’s strategy on services and one of these is the Apple credit card or simply the Apple Card. This card is not your regular plastic card that you get from your bank, as there are a lot of things that separate the Apple Card from the regular credit cards you’re used to, but chief among them may be the fact that this is the first one that completely changes its look like a Chameleon from day to day.

    If you’re still wondering why the Apple Card changes colors — at least, the digital version in your Apple Wallet — there’s actually a fairly simple explanation. For every transaction you make, the colors of the Apple Card will keep changing. The change will entirely depend on what kind of purchase you make with that transaction, resulting in a card color that is entirely unique to you.

    At purchase, the Apple card will be purely white, so the moment you make that first purchase, a blot of pink will also appear. The size of the blot of pink versus the blot of orange will depend on the amount of money spent. This will make your Apple Card is an a multicolored map of how you’re spending your dimes, showing what you’re spending it on.

    To know how colors align with which type of purchases, here’s the complete color coding, according to Apple:

    • Green — Travel
    • Blue — Transportation
    • Orange — Food & Drink
    • Pink — Entertainment
    • Purple — Services
    • Yellow — Shopping
    • Red — Health

    Not to worry, your word will not look like a rainbow all the time, as you can go back and start a fresh slate with the Apple Card. You can do this with the tap of a button — as soon as you pay your balance, which you can do at any time, the Card will turn white again, and the color process will start over depending on what purchases you make next.

    Just to make sure there is no confusion here, the white titanium card you have the option of getting from Apple when you sign up for the card will, of course, stay the same color, but I supposed nothing is stopping you from coloring on it yourself. The Apple Card will not come this side of the Sahara in a long time if ever, but clear managing your finances has never been Instagram friendly than it is in 2019.
