The Wonders of Color

       Color may seem like it is not necessary in life, but lying beneath the beautiful color lies deep importance to many people.  Since I was about 10 years old, my favorite color has always been blue. Light blue to be specific.  Ever since my uncle died of cancer and I was going through many rough times after another, blue has always been the color that seems the most forgiving.  Yes, blue is a color and cannot talk or move to make you feel better, but it does give emotional support when it is needed the most.  Blue is known to give off a feeling of trustworthiness and a want for peace, which is exactly what I find inside the depths of blue.  Colors do not judge and you can cry to your hearts content and they will not laugh, mock, or yell at you.  It may seem ridiculous, but the color blue has indeed been the color that I feel will not make me even more sad than I already am, which is how black makes me feel.  Something about the subtleness, the calmness of light blue always calms me down and I do not know what it is.  Blue reminds me of the blue sky above us, and it reminds me of beauty and magnificence that is life.  It is shown that the color blue tends to clam the human person, and instantly cool them down.  Colors remind me everyday of what a gift it is to be able to see all the beautiful colors that make up the world, green trees, blue sky, red flowers, etc.  People tend to take for granted the ability to see and absorb all the beautiful colors that are apart and that make up nature.  Colors are so amazing that they can change a persons mood as soon as they walk into a room or if they even eat off of a plate that is a certain color.  The color red, as it is most known for is at traffic light, and red means stop, green means go.  Color also has a deeper influence on us, for example it has been shown that pink will tend to make a person feel warm and comfortable, and the most known of course that the color pink is associated with are girls.  A girl's first favorite color is generally pink, because it is usually a really pretty color, and it is also a sign of sensitivity and delicacy.  It is truly amazing what a seemingly simple concept of color can actually do.  From looking and being absolutely beautiful, to calming the human person, color is most definitely not a simple concept, but instead, can be a successful place of solitude, comfort, and trust.
