Hi Wisdom.
I always keep changing my mind when it comes to deciding what is my favorite color. I always end up decorating my home primarily in blue & yellow, my 2 favorite colors. However, I always come back to purple.
Maybe I do that because my astrological sign indicates that my color is purple. So, maybe it is meant to be.
However, color means a lot to me. I am always so aware of colors in everything around me. It is amazing what beauty colors can create, even in the middle of ugliness.
The color white is purity, cleanliness. That's why I keep the walls of my home painted white. Then I can use other colors to decorate, bedding, curtains, carpets, accessories, etc. I also fill my home with flowers. I bought bouquets of good silk flowers, so good that everyone thinks they are real - even me ;-) I would prefer real flowers, but they are expensive & many are dangerous to my cats.
Black - do you know what the color black is? It is a combination of every color — put them all together & the result is black.
Once, when I was in hospital, my Sunday School children (3 to 5 yrs. old) sent me pictures that they drew. One boy's picture had a black rainbow in it. He said that was because he wanted to send me every color, and he did. Even though it looked black to other people, he was able to see that it was filled with color.
love pastel colors, especially pinks & blues. I see those colors in the sky every morning & evening. The sky is God's canvas, & He uses nature as His paints.
I love so many colors that I cannot choose just 1 or 2 as my favorite. My bedroom is my "world," since I am bedridden; but I have made it colorful, a happy place to be in. The walls may be white, but I have pieces of furniture (that go together) in different pastel colors - blue, green & yellow. The draperies are soft yellow with vertical columns of blue flowers w/green leaves. The bedding can change colors every week. I also have 3 bouquets of silk flowers throughout the room.
The reason I love color so much is because I was (am) an artist. Or — am I an artist because I love colors so much?! "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" ;-)
Colors mean a lot in the field of Psychology and Science. It is a proven fact that certain colors can agitate people, and some colors can calm people.
olor also has temperature, in more ways than one. Along the color spectrum, one end has "warm" colors - reds, oranges, yellows; while the other end has "cool" colors - blues, greens, light purples.
Another way colors have temperatures is how they retain or repel heat from the sun. For example, in the playground (when I was little), the swings were black or white; plus, they were made from metal. On hot sunny days, if you sat on a black swing while wearing shorts, you would burn your legs. Black retains heat. If you sat on the white swing, it would not burn you at all. White repels heat. That's why we are told to wear light colors in summer & not dark colors.
That is why I feel sorry for Arabic women. In all photos of them, Arab men wear white, while women are covered in black burkas. I do not know how they tolerate the heat. It is another form of oppression of the women in the Middle East.
