An Eye for Colour

Why is it that certain colours uplift the spirits?

Orange and yellow are bright colours, they reflect a cheerful disposition. Light blue and forest green relate to the peaceful notions of azure sky and everlasting greens. These colours are of serene dispositions. Both essentially represent life on earth, water is more often associated with the colour blue and the green to our forest covers.

Eyes love feasting on the light spectrum. Bold and vivid colours can be exciting; however, it isn't always the case. Eyes love change of scenery.

Soft palettes that are soft on eyes are great for thinking and writing. Strolling in the twilight is inspiring, who knows you might come out with some brilliant discovery with the likes of Archimedes. So is walking along the countryside full of greenery an exercise of transforming yourself.

In all probability, if your mother and grandma both owned big, beautiful brown eyes and they were the most loved and admired persons in your life, chances are you would have crush on a brunette with brown eyes.

Sometimes contrast colours also make difference. If you are a black eyed person, you might like someone with blue eyes – a total contrast.

An artist is capable of altering the mood of a painting by just some handful of shades. We often find that the painter dominates the canvas with a choice of converging colours that create magical moments. You might have perceived this magic with the bold and beautiful colours of four seasons.

Art has always relied on colours and patterns. Geometrical symmetry and asymmetry, both thrive in tricking the eyes into illusions. Brilliant architectures rely on shapes and colours that tend to bring the beauty in focus where the eye is cornered into magical confluences.

Enticing and alluring are the charismatic colours from the spectrum of light.

Light waves are analogous to sound waves impacting our lives. Colours from the light spectrum are energies of different wavelength. Colours even help in healing. When you wrap yourself in a colour, you are embracing and echoing the vibrations of that colour. Colours can help you win.

All pale colours help to breathe and relax. Bright and fiery colours are used to provoke and persuade.

White and saffron are the colours and dress codes of monks in India. They symbolize renunciation. They represent purity and chasteness. Also, the colour of a western bride’s attire is white.

Red colour relates to fire and warmth. It is the colour of romance and a passage to your innermost desires. In India, the obvious choice of bride’s dress is crimson, red and magenta.

Yellow is the colour of sun. It depicts all that is bright, intense and cheerful, in other words; the creation and a hope to life.

Blue represents the rivers and oceans. An indefinite expanse of the sea water that vanishes into the horizon. Nothing can beat the azure sky and sea waves when it comes to experiencing infinity.

Green is the favourite and obvious choice of an artist for landscaping vibrant farms and countryside. It represents the planet earth, full of life and vividness.
