COLORS

Taking the survey was a little bit frustrating because I can't put into words what one particular color means to me. I see a color and I like the color that's it. I don't have much a deep or emotional connection with a certain shade. It's just a shade  I like. Half of my answers I named a color and the other half my answers were "none". For my favorite color is dark grey .Morning color was yellow,least favorite color was fuchsia, and the color for sexiness was dark blue, which I picked because I have a friend who looks really good in dark blue.

My choice that matched the results was for good luck, which was green and that was about it. I can't think of colors when I think about deity, being dependable, or pure. The ones I did feel good about was my choice of yellow for happy and green for good luck. I chose green for good luck because it of luck of the Irish, four leaf clover, and St. Patrick"s Day. Green, to me, has been the color for good luck, Now, with yellow for happy I can explain this choice. Yellow is the color of the sun and the sun shines bright to make everything around us grow. When the sun's out I see how pretty the grass is , how blue the sky is with or without clouds, and watching the children be happy as they play in the park without a care in the world. I walk down the street and notice things I haven't noticed before because I usually ride the bus but the sun makes me want to take a walk. I see a diner that I want to try or a bike path I make want to take a walk on. I see the flowers are blooming and don't  get me started on the lakefront. I love to people watch and the lake seeing people enjoy themselves. I take a break from the stress and worry and just enjoy people, places, and things. I can live in the moment, I become more mindful. Yellow is also the color for tweety bird. My collection makes me happy.https://www.instagram.com/p/BSw-3RNh1ux/?taken-by=wondarawherry

The TedTalk gave me a sense that color has meaning and we have to figure what colors say to us and what's the emotional and intellectual connection. From the text we realize that choosing the right colors is important to express one's vision more clearly. Like when you make a sign, the colors have to work together to properly bring what you want to express to light. From the start I fought to give colors meaning but writing this blog makes me realize is that colors mean a lot.

  1. I totally agree with your blog, when I looked at several questions it was hard to label with the exception of a color that makes me happy which is yellow and the color that I associate with money green. I also enjoy all colors and it depends on what I'm creating or the mood I'm in with other colors. I love color in general and I try not to generalize them because it all depends on the use and need for the color and how they are connected with other colors.
