What is your color?
Our association and upbringing is the one factor affecting our
experience with colors. From early on in life, we were exposed
to colors, making it known that colors are something beautiful.
That without it, things are dull or dead-looking. Color still.
We can relate things, events and even persons to colors.
As everyone may know, yellow, orange and red are often
associated with heat, thus the sun and fire. It seem
inappropriate representing heat in different colors other than
that. Somehow it lacks something we cannot point our fingers on.
These same colors are considered high stimulating colors. Red
has been known to arouse the senses and increase the blood
pressure. This is seen as an example in a casino. According to
studies, people tend to gamble more and raise their bets when
seated under a red light.
Blue, green and violet, on the other hand, signify coolness, the
color of the leaves, ocean and sky. Although most artists add
their own touches by blending in other colors, these former were
the original and most distinguishable ones. These are the
opposites of red, yellow and orange; they are the low arousal
colors. These colors are often associated with peace and
tranquility and appears exciting to the eyes.
For most people, especially women, the first decision they make
at the start of the day is about color harmony. This is in
deciding what clothes to wear for the day. Oftentimes, the kind
of season plays the biggest part in these decision. As with
other associations, the weather has its own variety of colors in
clothes that people wear. The brightest of the season brings
with it the brightest of the clothes as opposed to gloomy
weathers which brings with it the tendency to dress poorly
because of the depressed feeling caused by the weather.
Nature is the main source of color ever since time started.
Flowerbeds in its bloom, the sun reflecting in the slow moving,
butterflies flying low in the garden, fishes swimming in the
pond and the view of the mountain in front of the setting sun.
These are just some of the examples of nature that artists have
tried and still trying to put into their canvasses. These
artists captures nature and color into prints as close as they
are in real life. Although not even the greatest of the best of
them can equal the color that is in nature.
