Our Poor selves. We're only Trichromatic.

Most people trichromatic, however, most spiders, birds & reptiles outdo us by being tetrachromatic. Makes me a bit jealous.

I've often wondered what it'd be like to see like with more colour. And so we turn our heads to women. About 2-3% of women are expected to be tetrachromatics, possibly yielding a chance to see more colour than men.

*sigh*

Lighting, Happiness?

Colour, it comes from the spectrum of light... Which, while daylights don't contain the full spectrum of colours, the sun does. Now, the sun also makes people happy, coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Indoor lighting, the kind you see in cubicles does not provide full spectrum lighting. Do you see happy people in cubicles? no. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

that is all for today

Colour Experimentation

There are commonalities in people and what they think about colour yet this is often something that forms through the foundation of our childhoods. Reds formed passioned hates and loves, and is supposed to make people hungry. Blues formed skies of peace and tranquility and finds itself in religious standings. Green is on the forfront of nature and fertility, wealth and growth. Yellow of sunlight and happiness. Purple of Envy creativity and royalty.

Revisiting ourselves culturally

Different colours are prominent in different cultures.

Okay, I'm stopping there as this blogger thing is really getting on my nerves with moving images around.

The other reason is for the escape of realistic things.. I never did get a good 'feel' for what the colours where. A lot of the pictures I looked at I couldn't be certain if they were special events and I didn't know the weather it currently was.

The only way to know is to be there.
