Hello Ladies,
A very happy April to you all.
The month of March happens to be my
Pastor's birthday and the theme for the occasion was “BRINGING OUT THE GOD
COLOURS IN US". This got me thinking and decided to do a research on
colours.
From the Bible, I was made to
understand that even God love colours that was why he created the Rainbow. "When God appeared unto Noah after the flood, and
placed a rainbow in the sky, He did much more than shows him a
phenomenon.
In the seven colors,
beginning with red and ending with purple, God was displaying a natural miracle
that demonstrated the complete redemption of man".
So I will be starting with
the Colour red because red is my favorite colour and our colour here at PRISSY
THE
COLOR RED
The color red is the color of
energy, passion and action.
This color is a warm
and positive color associated with our most physical needs and our will to
survive. It exudes a strong and powerful masculine energy.
Red is energizing. It excites the
emotions and motivates us to take action.
It signifies a pioneering spirit and
leadership qualities, promoting ambition and determination. It is also
strong-willed and can give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will
power.
Being the color of physical movement,
the color red awakens our physical life force. It is the color of sexuality and
can stimulate deeper and more intimate passions in us, such as love and sex on
the positive side or revenge and anger on the negative. It is often used to
express love, as in Valentine’s Day, however it relates more to sexuality and
lust, rather than love – love is expressed with pink.
At its most positive it can create life
with its sexual energy, or use its negative expression of anger and aggression
to fuel war and destruction.
The color red can stimulate the
appetite, often being used in restaurants for this purpose. It also increases
craving for food and other stimuli.
Being surrounded by too much of
the color red can cause us to become irritated, agitated and ultimately angry.
Too little and we become cautious, manipulative and fearful.
Colour combinations for red includes
Gold, black, blue, grey, white, yellow, purple, silver
etc

MY FAVOURITE COLOUR
RED QUOTE
Red is such
an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it's on both ends of
the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with
someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you've got obsession, jealousy,
danger, fear, anger and frustration.
