im really obsessed with colours. like the science, and like the wierd shit that no one cares about. like how we identify things with colours like how because of stop signs we instinctively read stop in red, and yet it is also the color of romance, which is quite the oposite of stop, if you know what i mean. and how just by walking in to a room painted blue can calm you down, unless it is accented in orange, and in that case it could give you a head ache.. i always think about the primary colours and how there are far more shades of blue than any other colour. you know what i mean? like teal and aqua and blue and navy and midnight blue, sky blue, light blue, dark blue, and indigo, ect. but thay are all considered blue. and yet red is just red, and pink, which compaired to blue would be like a sky blue, you know what im saying? yet pink is considered a completely diffrent colour than red, not an extention of it, like light or sky blue are to blue. and how blue can do crazy things, like if you are painting, and your white just doesnt look white, if you ad just a teeny hint of blue, it looks whiter, and yet if you want to make a shadow on a white shirt, or something, the shadow could be painted in blue. colours are amazing. like back to the red and blue discussion. ok so if you had a colour wheel and you turned it black and white, red and blue would be the same shade of grey, and yet they are so diffrent from each other. and then the discussion gets into secondary colours! orange, made from the 2 other warm colours makes the 3rd warm colour, which leads back to the primary colours- why are there 2 warms, and only 1 cool!? idk. but it baffles me. back to secondaries. so theres green, which is made from a cool and a warm and makes a warm, which makes sense cuz blue is a dominant colour, you know what i mean, cuz if you go back to the grey scale i was talking about, where red and blue are the same shade of grey, well yellow is like one shade of grey away from being white, so it would make sense that the product of that would be a cool. but then why does the mixture of red and blue make a cool colour? cuz they are like the same on the grey scale. so why would it tip to a cool colour? why not warm? itis 50 percent warm. so what is it about blue that makes it better!? and why is it darker, cuz back to the greyscale people, blue and red are equal, and if you mixed those 2 greys, technically you would get the same shade of grey, its just adding more, so why is purple so much darker than red and blue!? colours baffle me.
