Nancy Ann Tappe's Understanding Your Life Through Color, self-published in 1982, is a primary promotional text. Its strength is that it is the first published description of what became known as indigo children, so it is the correct citation for the concept's actual origin. Its limit is that it is a self-published personal system with no independent verification, and the concept it introduced has no standing in psychology or child development research.
