Colour Testing

The colour I have chosen to experiment with is, PINK.

Pink is stereotypically a girly colour, and is universally associated with love.

Pink is a very quiet colour and is typically a colour of beauty. Many magazines use the colour pink for their font, as this indicates femininity.

My second colour is GREEN. Green is a very neutral, genderless colour. It represents nature, fertility, and life. I believe this is because grass is green, and most things in nature. This is often used when a baby is expected, however you don’t know the gender because it is neither feminine nor masculine.

PURPLE it has been said that people that surround themselves with this colour will have a good piece of mind, or are searching for spiritual fulfillment. Purple also symbolizes magic and mystery, and is believed to be one of the warmest colours as it is a combination of red and blue. Most children love the color purple, so this would be a good colour if featured in a children’s book.

GREY is typically the colour of sorrow, isolation, lack of movement and emptiness.  However Native Americans associate grey with friendship, and grey with silver in is often seen as a very active colour. Grey is the symbol for security, maturity and dependability. It connotes responsibility and conservative practicality.
