Colors In Sequence

With the help of a white angel tired of life and enveloped in heavenly white, we travel through earthly whites: light, the sky, clouds. Stars are also white, as is the moon, innocence, sea birds, storks, as well as doves-which symbolize peace and happiness. White is the color preferred by some religions and inhabitants of Nordic countries.

The last twenty-four hours spent in the womb determine the influence of life-giving green. It is the color of life and nature and has a soothing visual effect. It is one of the predominant colors in our urban landscape. Green represents freedom in the West. In Islamic countries, it is a sacred color that means friendship, non-violence and religion.

The love-hate story of a pedestrian painted on the roadway and the unbroken line that accompanies him is the pretext for addressing the contradictory nature of yellow. On the one hand, yellow symbolizes fun and joy, but it is also associated with hatred, madness, bad luck and illness.

Red, the color of blood, was the first color to be distinguished by human beings, a blood that was offered to the gods and was also used to fertilize the soil. Adam and Eve's apple was red and so too was hell, where the damned were toasted for all eternity. Overuse of red can create stress and nervousness. Sentiments are also red and a red heart is the symbol of love.

The story begins: Celeste must follow the blue clues to find her "Blue Prince". Celeste trusts blue. We are surrounded by this color and it inspires trust and a sense of safety. Both the sky and the sea are blue. Who do we trust to repair our car? Probably a mechanic dressed in blue overalls. The police wear blue uniforms. Politicians also wear blue to inspire trust.

A beggar wandering the streets reveals the contradictions of brown-a color that is undervalued yet is a common part of our daily lives. Brown is a primitive color and does not sell; this is why so few products are packaged in it. More eye-catching colors are chosen for logos.

An orange doll tired of a life in constant motion decides to seek freedom. The doll reveals that orange is the color of transition and momentary states. The first light of day is orange. Traffic lights blink orange, so do road warnings. Flames are orange and American prisoners on Death Row wear orange overalls. Autumn, the transition between summer and winter, is orange.

Pink is the color of glamour and 'la vie en rose' ['Life through rose-colored glasses'] and is always positive and synonymous with optimism. Romantic novels always have rosy endings and the "pink press" (tabloid/gossip news) in Spain is full of glamour and sophistication, stuffed with characters whose lives are one long ball. There are lots of positive expressions that use pink.

Black is the sum of the other colors, and the absence of light. It is the color of darkness and shadows and is associated with everything negative. Evil is culturally hidden behind the color black; the most vengeful and wicked characters always wear black. Likewise, black animals inspire tales of the supernatural, ill omens and death.

Silver-gray reflects all the colors. Colors are one of the first things we learned when we were children. We move around guided by all sort of color codes: on the underground, by traffic lights, on ski slopes, in the martial arts. When we see many colors together, we think of parties and having fun. There are colorful places all around the world.
