My Color is an intimate documentary portrait of three artists living entirely in one color — from their clothes to their homes — turning radical visibility into a means of survival.
SYNOPSIS
Elizabeth, internationally known as The Green Lady of Brooklyn, has spent decades surrounding herself in green, creating a joyful world on her own terms as she reflects on a life shaped by both visibility and secrecy. Levaille, a trans non-binary jewelry artist in Cleveland, Ohio, experiences the color orange as their gender and wears it as body armor, choosing radical visibility while undergoing gender-affirming care in a hostile political environment. Ali, an autistic opera singer in Japan, uses pink as a safety blanket as she pursues dreams of pop stardom far from her small-town Alaska roots. Together, they form a layered, interwoven narrative where colors, emotions, and experiences echo across storylines.
This film asks: what compels people to live so visibly in a world that asks them to disappear? Each character undergoes a transformation, confronting not only how they are seen but who they are beyond their color. In doing so, My Color challenges societal expectations around gender, neurodivergence, and belonging.
