Colors
Whenever we hear the word color, the first image that creeps
into our mind is the vibrant eye-catching detail it brings along. Just looking
at a host of colors brings us feelings of joy, happiness and joie de vivre. And
believe it or not there are more than a million colors that a human eye can see
and distinguish.
Colors have their own meaning too, like white is associated
with purity or angels. While black to evil. Red is associated with passion,
green with envy, yellow with fear. Green is now days associated with a push for
a greener environment. On food articles we see a green dot or red dot – to
signify the product composition. Holi is a festival associated with colors.
After the festival, we see lots of people walking around in different hues of
colors- we know they had a hell of a time with colors.
How important is color to us, we could almost affirm that it
brings meaning to our vision. God made this world so colorful. Imagine going to
tropical regions, the greenery just fills us with peace and tranquility. While
a visit to the beach, the blueness of the ocean captures our soul. Or even a
visit to an iron ore the redness of the soil fills the entire space and the
vehicles that travel in that region is all red in color.
We have road signs on our road to control traffic and
provide safe driving. These are made up of different colors to signify its
meaning and importance. Red is for stop, the reason red is used as a stop sign
is because it has the highest visibility. We have studied that white light is
made up of seven colors, ‘vibgyor’. During schooling days am sure we remember
the science experiment with these seven colors on a wheel when rotated it looks
white, would have taken us all by surprise.
Colors are food for the soul. Being in a pensive mood, just
visiting the nearest garden or during holidays traveling to famous locales like
the Himalayas literally washes away our pains. Just imagine seeing things in
black and white like the good old Charlie Chaplin movies, and now imagine if
they were in color. We have heard of old black and white movies being made into
color to enhance our viewing.
Colors are food for the soul, by the creator to enjoy and
enhance our life. We should always to thankful to God for such beautiful
colorful creation and the ability to enjoy it.
