In the society we live in colors are used as a connector to human brains and their atmosphere surrounding them. People were taught early in childhood to associate colors to common things in life. Colors are a way to visually represent moods or feelings, temperatures, and are used as adjectives to describe things. When the color blue is shown people relate it to the sky, ocean, a clam state etc. The color yellow is associated with the sun, illumination, a state of happiness etc. Red is associated with blood, stop lights, anger etc. Green is associated with the earth, grass, vegetation, life etc. Orange is related to fire, sunsets, Halloween etc. Black is related to death while white is related to purity.
Our class project was to take pictures of objects whose colors match the object and ones who oppose their object. One picture my group took was a green fire hydrant . I thought this objects color did not match the object itself. When I think of fire hydrants I think of the color red. Red shows urgency, chaos which is what goes on during a fire, but green is a natural earthly color. I think this color opposes the object it is on.
The next picture our group took was a picture of a row house. The color of the bricks are a light tan and the color on the window flaps are a reddish brown. These two colors work really well on the row house. The tan and brown are both neutral colors so they don't conflict with eachother. The colors together give the house a warm soft feeling to it, I think the color choice was nice.
