Colors


Imagine, getting up one day and discovering that the world is just black and white. No reds, yellows, blues and greens. All your shirts look the same, all the flowers look the same, No paintings, no movies, no variety, no vibrancy…just monotones of black and white. No looking at the sky as it turns from orange hues of the morning, to a clear blue, to a clouded gray, to a dark blue at dusk and finally black. No flowers, no butterflies, no rainbows, only black and white monotones. Sounds scary, right? When we start to imagine what lack of colors could be like do we truly realize how much colors mean to us.

Color is not just an embellishment, not just a decoration. Color motivates, excites, attracts, enlightens, emphasizes, empathizes. Colors are the language the universe speaks to our soul.

Red is the color of fire, blood, war, danger, passion, desire , love. It is an emotionally intense color and yet a color of warning. A color that screams danger and desire at the same time.

Yellow is the color of sunshine, of happiness, of energy. It is a spontaneous color that evokes pleasant cheerful feelings.

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It reminds me of joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

Green is the color of nature. The color of harmony, freshness and safety. It is the color of healing. It suggests stability and endurance.

Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is the color of depth and stability. It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. It brings tranquility and calmness.

Purple combines the stability of blue and the energy of red. Purple is associated with royalty. It symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and ambition. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic.

White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection.White means safety, purity, and cleanliness.White can represent a successful beginning.

Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery. Black is a mysterious color associated with fear and the unknown. Black is the color of grief. Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color.

May your life be touched with a little of every color. Wishing you a happy and cheerful celebration of Colors. Happy Holi!

As a small continuation to this I would like you to tell me what color do you think you are …and which color do you think I am.
