| Add colour to your everything |
For me, every colour
has a particular meaning. I associate colours with a certain place or event.
Colours also dictate how I respond to situations. The same colour can have
different meanings under different circumstances.
For instance, I wear
the colour red on Mondays to say “Look! I am ambitious and have status.” I wear
it to symbolise energy, on the day I can go to work with a free soul and less
busy schedule. By Tuesday, work has piled up and my mood has changed, so I
choose a different colour.
However, red also
expresses danger, anger and sexual passion. Blood spills from the body when
there is pain. Pain is normally a result of anger. But when I see a lady with
red lips, the meaning changes altogether,and I feel happy and passionate.
Whenever I see pink,
I think of a girl. When a baby is born and there is pink around, I conclude
that it’s a girl, a soft and vulnerable being who always needs protection. The
colour pink says ‘Be careful here. You might break something.’

| Do you still remember how you learned about colouring from lower grades? |
Gold is the colour of
pride and status. You cannot associate yourself with gold if you are not
successful. In competitions, gold medals are the first prize. Gold is a luxury
that implies quality.
Black is all about
danger and bad luck. Anything associated with darkness I see as unfriendly and
unbearable. When I see someone wearing black, I wonder if everything is all right.
Widowers wear black to express sorrow and heartache; thugs use it to hide their
identity. Mostly, black reflects sadness. However, when rich people wear black,
they demonstrate strength and wealth. Just think of a black car, the most
expensive colour.
Colours can mean
different things depending on circumstances and the individuals wearing them. I
use colours to express a certain meaning at a certain point in time. People should
not add a colour which does not correlate with their actual situation. It would
be rather confusing, for instance, to have too much gold on you if you really
are poor.
