colormatters.com

There is this really interesting website I found called Colormatters.com and it has all different things about colors from how it effects us to what colors mean. I just read an article ( http://www.colormatters.com/body_pink.html ) on how they put a bubble-gum pink color in some jail cells to calm violent prisoners. It was saying that no matter how aggressive or angry someone would try to get in a room that color, that it is somewhat impossible because they say it is a tranquilizing color that saps your energy. We've all talked about how color affects the body together a billion times, but I thought the bubble-gum pink one was pretty interesting.

They also have things on there about how color can affect taste and smell also, I don't really want to copy what they put down, but it is interesting and anyone who looks at this blog should just check out the website for a minute it's pretty cool.

COLOR!!!!!

I'm beginning to wish that my life was in black and white. Cause with all these color blogs brian I'm starting to wish that there was no color.
Which makes me think about dreams. I have always dreamt in color, but there are some people that I know that say they only dream in black and white.
Personally I think that most people do dream in color, but some may not notice colors in their dreams. Because color is so natural that we sometimes overlook colors in our dreams. I know that sometimes the dream memory fades so quickly that I only end of remembering it in shades of gray, like I can't recall any color at all, but while I am in it I recognize colors a lot. I have been having the weirdest dreams where I've been put in game situations, but I am at my house and only certain things were colored brightly so I only noticed them. My walls were yellow and my umbrella was pink. But i think that this is only because I long to be home. My bedroom is bright yellow, and I do have a pink umbrella. But in dreams colors can mean certain things. Like this one time I had a dream where I kept changing the color of my car and my grandma was paying for it. But she finally decided on this forest green -- which was her favorite color. After she passed away, I was having dreams where everything was completely green, and everything blended into eachother and all I could notice was my grandmother in technicolor - which is really weird. But I liked that dream a lot, it brought back a lot of memories.
I don't know why I was really thinking about that, I just think stuff like that is really interesting.

Coler Interaction

So last week we did what was called color interaction. We had to take three different colors and put them together to give the illusion that one of the colors was actually two seperate colors. Does that make sense? Yeah. So I found this project really very interesting. I liked the fact that colors can definitely play tricks on your eyes to make you see something that is not.
I really liked this project because it made me see colors in a completely different way, and I really enjoyed it.
Hmm what else about color?
Oh how about the new color project we have. I really dont' know what to do only because I'm not very good with illustrator - and even though I have other choices I don't really know what I'm going to do.

I have a lot to think about

Orange

When I saw this I just laughed so incredibly hard.
Poor Orange. It's such a nice color he didn't really deserve all that.

But yeah, on with my blog.
I guess I'll talk about me sarah and sara painting our faces.
It was so much fun, even though I felt like I couldn't move my eyelids and all the paint was in my nose and ears.
Sara got it all in her hair, and Sarah robbins was so damn clean. I wish I was that clean. All of our individual styles came out on our faces, which was really cool to see. Sara Winston being the sloppiest most care free and sarah's being the most neat and clean. I wish I had a picture on here to post but, I'll find one and throw it in here as soon as I get a chance. It looked so neat once we were done. So props to Sarah robbins for comin up with the idea to paint our faces to show Analagous, Monochromatic, and Complimentary colors made from Blue. Our face's were pallettes. So that was cool.

colorr again

I love color, where would I be in this world without color? One of my friends is color blind and I think about how much that would suck all the time. His life is probably so boring (but normal for him). It sucks that he can't see how beautiful the sky can be sometimes especially at sunset, all the purple, pink, yellow and orange hues. It sucks how he'll never tell the difference from a pink rose to the purest red rose ever, and how he'll never be able to tell the recycling bin from the garbage bin. He always wears the same color scheme too, a black shirt and some blue jeans, white pair of shoes.
Thank god I was born wiht the ability to see colors or I don't know what I would do. Most likely nothing.

Color me timbers!

So for this blog I decided to write about the connections between people and their favorite colors.
My best friend Mook loves, Loves, LOVES the color green. I'd have to say mainly a bright lime green but she also appreciates the original green too. I'm comparing her favorite color now to her personality. She's very down to earth, and considering we live in the mountains she's all about hiking, and nature. Not to mention she is a fun spunky person which is where the lime green comes out of this interpretation. Also she can be stubborn and or greedy which kind of ties in with the way green can make you feel or how to determine something.
For me my favorite color is red. To me that shows that I can be determined, and definitely girly sometimes. Along with that I see red as a powerful persuasive color. I see it as a color that says your mood can changes quickly as your mind and I can be very opinionated. I link Red with those feelings because you can see red as making you angry, or even anxious but I'll stick with a mediocre angry for me with the color red cause I dont see myself as a psycho bloodthirty killer bitch, but I definitely speak my mind and I like to take the lead every now and then.
My girl April's favorite color is Orange. This color goe's with her so well because although Orange is a bright loud color, April is very very organized. She's also an interior designer and very artsy so I love how this color really brings out the April in April. She's fun but is serious so this color even's her personality out quite a bit. My friend Jane and Kat are all about the color blue. Both blonde equipped with blue eyes you can see one of the reasons why they love the color. Not to mention they are both very chill people who love the sound of the ocean. Both calm people but overall like to have fun. Blue I see as a chill color, mainly with a happy outlook, and I think blue is a good color for the both of them too.
I think doing this comparison wiht color and personality is very interesting, and believe it or not I'm sure your favorite color says alittle something about you too!

Colooors!

I picked the first picture because I like how these few totally different feeling colors fit together on one composition. The garbage and brown leaves remind me, of just... dirt or just the feeling of being unclean. But up next to a festive purple and green swirl I don't know what to think about it. Now it's just confusing since they are two totally different feelings. Unless you like to be dirty and festive all at once. =] But just because of that I like this picture a lot.
