Hello yellow~ Russia Pavilion at Dubai Expo

Good Morning,

Let’s talk about color. What is it really? Why do we need to see it? Why is our planet blue? Why is the sun yellow? Why do we see the rainbow? Why are we drawn to different colors? How do different color influence us?

That’s an ongoing life long research but have you ever tried this simple experiment? Take a set of crayons and every day see which color is popping out or standing out more than the others? Try to tune to that color that day, wear it, draw with it, look for examples of it, and register the effects of that. I did that for years and I keep the colored pencils near my desk for that reason.

Maybe even consider that wearing the wrong color for you that day can have an influence on your whole day’s goings on.

And one more phrase to contemplate: “color is a cloak of force”.

Wishing you a colorful end of the week. Today we will drive to the yellow desert.

    Colour… Hmmm. I have a particular relationship to colour. I am slightly colour blind, though you couldn’t tell by my photos or sketching/painting. I can see all colours except for some greens and browns where I can’t tell the difference. It leads me to think that no-one sees colours exactly the same way. “Your” reds or blues look different to me or to others…
    Cheers

      fascinating! Yes, we cannot really tell how we see the colors and how they make each one of us feel. Amazing subject to research.

        It would be very interesting, even as a social sciences research. My conclusion is that colours are mostly another social convention.
