The Magic of Colours

The colour Green
Have you ever wondered why people say `Green with Envy' and also `Green eyed monster'. Why do they associate jealousy with the colour green? When we think of green, we tend to associate the colour green with the trees in the forest, not jealously. If we are given approval for a project at hand means we have the green light to proceed.

The colour red
If the business is losing money, we said the business is in red. Red on the other hand means prosperity and richness. If we suddenly get very angry, we start to `see red' but on the other hand if we are celebrating and in high spirits, we might want to `paint the town red'. Red is a fierce colour and it symbolises aggressive, bad tempered, impulsive and centre of attention. We hope to get red carpet welcome when we attend functions. Red is also associated with danger.

The significance of colours have been studied throughout history and despite meaning different thing to different people, they do have an effect on us. What colours are we drawn to on a daily basis?

Something for sharing.
