One of the most basic methods of communication is through colour. In the western cultures of Earth red is generally a warning colour. It demands attention and advises caution. It says ‘there is danger here, so wake up!’. Other colours have other meanings and each culture applies different meanings to colours. Black too is the colour of death, but it’s also the colour of sin and the colour of service or function. Write a scene in which the/a meaning of the colour blue features. For example, if blue is a royal colour, you could write about a royal ceremony. If it’s the colour of a uniform, you could write about someone receiving their uniform. If it's a warning colour, write about how it's used to provide warning. Things to consider... Is this colour being used as part of a ritual or ceremony, or is it used to flag something? what idea or feeling does it represent? Has language been affected by the meaning of purple? We have the phrases “black as sin”, “green light”, and “feeling blue”. Is there a colour which has a meaning opposed to or linked to blue? |
