Try to think and imagine how our life would have been if colours did not exist in our life. I personally cannot imagine my world without having any colours in it. We can see the differences each morning when the sun rises after the darkness of a night. We come across all the colours every day in our life by looking at the Landscapes and seascapes we can see the different shades of greens and blues and the shades of sun, the colours of the bird’s feathers, the different colours of fish, and the colourful flowers specially in the spring and summer is when most of these colours pop out in our vision. People usually only realise and recognize these colours on a grey wintery day when where are surrounded by coldness and the sun doesn’t bright up as it used to in a warm and shiny day.
Some Psychologists believe that in some northern countries there are a large number of people who commit suicide only because there is a nonexistence of light and colour for such a long time, because of the cold dark winters. People are asked to paint their homes in “happy” colours.
Psychologists believe that color has a strange power to move and effect on us emotionally. But in my opinion I believe the fact of colour having the ability to change our mood and emotions, but I also believe another very important relationship between colour and people is their cultures just like the reading discussion about the contemporary art and how the author was explaining art come from culture colour is part of art and they both have relationship to a cultural system. People from different cultures and countries have different point of views on different colours. For example someone from Middle East thinks of colours red differently than someone from Africa. These are not the only relationships between people and colours but these are some main facts about what people think about colours and how its represents to them from my point of view. It is also commonly thought that certain colours are associated with certain emotions; one of common examples is being red for anger. If this is the case then the animations could incorporate the theories of colour and emotion, and therefore make it easier for the emotions to be conveyed. But if look at it deeply we can see this is also related to our cultures as well, for example again the colour red in china and India symbolises Good luck, it is a colours for their celebrations specially new year celebration, however color red in western culture in represent danger and anger, and it some cases it’s the colour of love. one of the common and an obvious example to this situation would be the colour white, which mostly represents purity and cleanness, and white is the colour a bride would wear at their wedding but, in the Indian culture white is not a good sign to them and it represents death to them, instead they wear white at their funeral and wear red to a wedding because red represent purity and a good luck starts to them.
These are just some examples between people and their emotions and cultures having a connection with colours.
