Well since Holi - The festival of colors is coming up, I thought it would be appropriate for me to dedicate a post to, Colors!!
We do underestimate the value of color, you won't believe it, but color has a lot to do with how you feel , its something which gets to our sub-conscious mind and… lets say, sets the “mood”. :)
As I was thinking of how to put color into words, and I got this strange idea : Most of us would associate meanings to colors, but just look at how contradicting some of them could be!!
Red - It signifies love (red balloons, red hearts.. awwwww) on one hand and on the other hand it is a way to signify things like anger and danger!!
Yellow - Remember the rhyme "yellow yellow dirty fellow, sitting on a buffalo" and on the other hand the same color is used to refer to happy things !(the bright yellow sunflowers and the ever lovely yellow smiley :))
Pink - Its a girl's color but the men who dare to wear pink are they real men!!(Don't ask me where I got that from!! :P)
Green - On one hand its the color of money, prosperity (remember the greeny-greeny dollar bills) and at the same time green is also the color jealousy.
Grey - Well they say grey is a dull day's color but interestingly grey is also my fav tee's color(and I for one am not dumb!! [am I??])
Black - Its the color of Confidence but also the color which come depict a person to be really lonely and mentally imbalanced.
Blue - The color of the sea, its like polymorphism[refer JAVA dictionary for meaning], it can be calm when it wants to be and as destructing as a hurricane.
Orange – Its’ said to be a color of happiness but the same time a color which demands attention which in-turn reflects at a persons low self-esteem.
There was only one color where I din’t find a contradicting meaning attached, and the color was : *ta-ra-ra-tut-tara*
White - The color of peace, healing, comfort, truth, purity, idealism, reverence, simplicity, cleanliness, humility, precision and innocence.
Now that’s one powerful color!!
(btw, if u find some contradictions for white, other than its relation to death in the Indian culture(which I apparently din’t want to mention) then you could please tell me )
Well think about it and if you do come up with some more contradcting-colors, do let me know! :)
