Colors

My Color The human eye can detect 10 million colors. If a human can detect that many colors, the outcome of this should result in a vast array of emotions and connections to certain colors. Some people may attach themselves to a color to portray a certain emotion, or to add color to the world that could be so gray to them, or even pick a certain color that makes them who they are. Without color, our lives would be meaningless, and nobody could express their feelings. The colors of our world allow us to reveal the true meaning of our lives, our aura would not have the same effects and our outfits would leave us with the feeling of absence. With color present throughout our lives, our plain and soulless furniture gains meaning, the blue sky gives us something to look up to; sunny and calm. Showers of fireworks entertain our lives with shapes and colors exploding into lifeless form, even the simple, but most extravagant color of eyes allow us to see into the depths of the souls that lie behind them, which all becomes worth living for by being embellished with colors. Every color reveals a story. Not only does each color disclose a story, but without color, there would be lost emotion. Warm colors such as reds, oranges, and yellows are said to induce excitement, cheerfulness, stimulation, and aggression; blues and greens to induce security, calm, and peace; and browns, grays, and blacks to bring sadness, depression, and melancholy. However, we can only generalize about such subjective perceptions. On days were it seems to be lurid, I take a look at my closet, which is essentially a reflection of my chirpy persona, I revel in my need for joyous color and expression and plunge into the pink section of my color coded assortment, and match all the pink I possibly can. I strive to lighten the mood with pink; it is my proclivity that makes me anticipate changing my day with the vibrant, simple, but flashy color. Color may not only be useful to emphasize emotions, but it used to show much more, such as brain development and reaction. Many psychologists believe that analyzing one's reaction to color reveals relevant physiological and psychological information. Some even suggest that specific colors have a therapeutic effect on physical and mental disabilities. It allows people to recognize simple matter, and distinguish certain things from others. Colors can even be used as an alternative medicine for people to relate their life to certain colors. Not only do colors distribute emotion, but it has influence on the neural system, which allows people to think open minded about the world. Everything that colors allow people to see and feel all come back to a common factor of self expression. Colors can portray people’s experiences, it may convey people’s memories within a single piece of clothing, it allows room for personal preference, and it can even change the way people perceive life. The beginning of the use of color can build a lifestyle; it’s the colors that you express that make you who you are, and what the colors allow you to do. In my perception, color is not just color; it’s the fuel that ignites my bones. It is who I am: a vivid dreamer. I do not want to be black and white. I want to stand out; I want to shine. I want to be one of the neon colors that light the world. At the end of the day, its color that ignites our world, its color that ignites my soul, its color that captures memories and it’s the color that makes life so beautiful and bold. Colors are an indispensable ingredient of our lives. No matter how they are used, the best use of colors are observed in self expression and in the stride of our lives.
