A new blog to contain answers to prompts |
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas "  became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one. Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.  |
| Prompt: What color do you feel like today and why? Write about this in your Blog entry today. ------- I've never thought of applying any color to my feelings, although I know that colors may use a language of some sorts: a silent yet powerful, subtle yet deeply expressive, language without saying a word. On the other hand, the language of colors may not always be universal, but it is accepted enough that different cultures apply different colors to the same feeling. For example, in some eastern cultures, brides wear red, while in the culture I am in, a bride is decked in white. Nature also uses color because color communicates. Flowers use color, mostly in yellows and reds, to attract insects for pollination. Even the colors of the sky change to signal time and season. This is because color has emotional weight. Such as red means passion and power or sometimes anger or danger, as in, "She's seeing red." Then, remember the road signs in red or orange that point to danger? In the same vein, blue is for calmness and trust; yellow stands for optimism; green means balance and growth; black speaks of mystery, grief, seriousness or sophistication; white suggests purity and clarity and is tied to peace and new beginnings. All this and more is used to great extend by designers, advertisers, and artists. The main reason I don't apply color to myself, my actions, or my feelings is because I don't like branding me and subconsciously easing myself into a certain mode or emotion. Yet, when I dress up, I don't like to wear clashing colors. Just maybe, that says something about me. |
