PRISSY ACCESSORIES: April 2014

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

RED IN THE BIBLE

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.
