The Benefits of Colours

Everyone know colours and everyone use colours in their lives. We are in a world where colours dominate our lives, from reading signs on the road to seeing if fruit is ripe to eat. Colour is an inspiration in life and reveal the emotion of someone. In English, colours also uses as Idioms. There's no colour which is bad. Every single colour is good. But, every colour has it's very own meaning and expressions. Just think if we couldn't see the colour of blue sky or the colour of sun rises. God had give us eyes to see things, and more specifically, we can see the beautiful of colours.


First i will tell you what is colour, and why can we see colour through our eyes. Colour is simply light of different wavelengths and frequencies and light is just one form of energy that we can actually see that is made up from photons.We are all surrounded by electromagnetic waves of energy of which colour is just a small part. The retinas in our eyes though have three types of colour receptors in the form of cones. We can actually only detect three of these visible colours - red - blue and green. These colours are called additive primaries. It is these three colours that are mixed in our brain to create all of the other colours we see... how clever we are! Colour simply comes from light. To physically see this, we need a prism.
When light from the sun passes through a prism, the light is split into the seven visible colours by refraction.Refraction is caused by the change in speed experienced by a wave of light when it changes.
Second, I'll tell you about colour history. Colour has been investigated and used for more than 2000 years. Throughout history, different civilizations have experimented and learned more about colour. We are still learning today about how colour affects us and its importance in our lives. Colour has been used from the earliest time, from the Egyptian they used it for the cultural ceremony. But now, colour uses in many things, and also affected a economical in every country.



Every colour has meaning, for example: Red as anger, Yellow as cheerful, Green as inexperience as much more. Using colour in your cloths or in your room can affect your emotion. A China belief, Fang Sui can give you many information about using colour in room or clothes. Some colours may give you fortune, otherwise there are some colours that make you become unfortunate.

Colours also use in English as Idioms. For example: Once in the blue moon means once a while, Seeing red means get angry, feeling blue means sad. Colours also use to make something be more attractive than usual. Using bright colour makes you feel more confident and cheerful in the other hand, dark colours seen you are a shy person, with bad behavior.

I will tell you more specific about colours. Kids usually use bright colours because they feel comfortable in a room or using cloths with bright colours. Most of them like bright colours as like as yellow, green, white, and many more. Adults usually likes better a darker colours, like beach or even purple.

That's some parts of colours that i know. Maybe i will tell again next time. Thank you :)
