I’m biased. It’s my personal fave. And it’s deep in so many ways. It’s a very well-meaning and attractive color. It complements just about everything without domineering. An attractive lady or man who carefully escorts the more rambunctious colors, guiding them through their mistakes.
Careful, although blue is a very calming color, the visible spectrum becomes more energetic with blue’s entry. Lightwaves start speeding up, their amplitudes heighten and troughs deepen. Things are starting to get intense.
All this technical talk means nothing to Blue. It is regal and rare. It is very rare in nature with only a few truly rare organisms that are actually Blue — the others use prismatic shading and other tricks of the eye to seem blue. It’s so rare in nature that in the Medieval Ages:
During the Renaissance, painters reserved the use of deep blue for the colour of The Virgin Mary’s clothing to symbolize her importance. And even during Shakespeare’s time, the colour of your clothing denoted your position in society. Blue fabrics showed you ranked high up in society. Perhaps an explanation for the term used to describe royalty as blue bloods?
a lot to be said for green. Stable, smack dab in the middle of the visible spectrum. Normal, total C average. Green’s the type of guy who goes to Lions Club meetings in the suburbs, drives a minivan and considers Italian cuisine exotic.
Granted, we have our very lives to thank for this bore of a color. Plants reflect it and it makes us happy thinking that green = natural, whereas, green things absorb every other color but green. So, according to lightwave physics, it’s exactly the opposite of life-sustaining.
O, and it means wealth (see: greenback). And second to orange, no one is flattered to be seen in it. And it’s the color your mucus is when you’re sick.
Wow. This color is a two-timing son of a bitch. Cheerful and sunny. Bullshit. Yellow is all about treachery, deceit and falsehoods. Yellow is juane in French (see: jaundiced). Bile is an unholy shade of it. Yellow is the kind of color that gets you pumped up about something and then says “jus’ kidding, broham.”
(Un)fortunately, its only real affiliations are the fruit and Halloween. Besides being a secondary color in every meaning of the word, it really doesn’t have a lot of cultural play in our society. Nobody looks good in orange lighting and it makes me think of Vitamin C.
Red light is the slowest, biggest light wave in the visible spectrum. It just kinda of lazes around and bumps into things. Since it’s so slow, it’s perfect to make things just barely visible and not draw attention to itself, just like in every sci-fi movie. Yes, it means danger as in do not expect it to do much or be too active. Slovenly, actually. It excels at giving just enough light to recognize our prurient desires, lustfully illuminating (just) the deepest carnal desires we all carry around with us through our lives.
Outside the Western world, red has different associations. For example, in China, red is the color of prosperity and happiness. It can also be used to attract good luck. In other Eastern cultures, red is worn by brides on their wedding days. In South Africa, however, red is the color of mourning.
Red can actually have a physical effect on people, raising blood pressure and respiration rates. It’s been shown to enhance human metabolism, too.
