Well..this is a question for the artists in here..or maybe just for anyone.


I want to know what different colors mean to you.

For example, some people may see Red as anger, Pink as pretty, Blue as sad...etc. Usually these are great choices, but they're a bit different with me. Mostly I want to know what these three colors mean to you...you can post more if you want.


Red

Blue

Green



To me:

Red- Sorrow

Blue- Happiness

Green- Loneliness




Now..my "meanings" may be a little odd. You may ask, "What does the color red have to do with sorrow?"

Well, I'll leave that for you to interpret as you post. If you come back to the post you may see that people feel just as strangely about these colors as I do...maybe stranger.

That's interesting. What about those numbers reminds you of the colours listed?

Red - Sliding like a ribbon, adventure, seduction

Blue - Open, innocent, breathing

Green - Vibrance, alive...

Yellow for some reason makes me think of a warning. I see a snake, one of those venomous ones with red eyes

Brown just makes me think of October

I like october.

Hi Sadonis,

I once took a class in Comparative Literature, and I learned the meaning and the importance of using color in writing. I think being very descriptive is one aspect of being a good writer; I've tried to incorporate this into my own writing.

Red - anger, fury, also love

Orange, yellow, brown - autumn

green - envy

purple - nostalgia, fear

black, gray - sadness, solace

pink - love, happiness

orchid, lavender - spiritual


I've also read the chakra chart and the colors which correspond to each chakra, but as hard as I tried, I just could never see the color green as representing love.
