Jelly Bellys

People tend to associate food with color. Everything we buy and eat has a distinguished color, shape, and form to it. As we grow we learn to match colors to certain foods allowing us to tell what it is. For example, we know the fruit with a deep purple blue color is a plum, a banana is yellow, and a watermelon is green and red-pink. Some food items like candy, have the flavoring of foods without looking like the food itself. There for they distinguish the flavor through color.
Jelly belly's are the perfect example of using color to detect flavor. Jelly belly's have fifty different flavors and fifty different colors. Each color of the jelly bean follows the generic color of the food. For instance, popcorn is white with yellow for the butter, the bean is white with yellow speckles.

Color Eye Contacts

Eye contacts, they started as another alternative to the eye glasses. Then wahlah, the color eye contact was invented.






Color contacts are wild looking. I remember the first time I saw color contacts but didn't know they existed yet. I was in third grade and my friend invited me to Dave and Busters. At the end of a fun night I was going to cash in my tokens for a prize. The guy behind the cunter turned around and had solid black eyes, i was so taken back by it.









It is seems so extraordinary to me when I see people wearing color contacts. Its allmost like dressing your eye for an occasion, or mood, or simply because the color is appealing. Wearing colors is a personal style for people to express themselves beyond just clothing. People show this by dying their hair, or painting their car or room their favorite color, or getting colored tattoos, or contacts etc. This goes to show that color is such a representative subject. I think that extreme color contacts are crazy, and people have to be bold to wear them. I wonder, do people think..I want cat eyes today, or I want to invision patriotism....

Colors of a Wedding Dress

In America everything I see and know about a bride and her dress is the color white. Pictures, magazines, and bridal shops throughout America markets white dresses because its the traditional and most popular color choice. The relatively modern meaning of the white wedding dress in America symbolizes virginity and purity. This symbol has not always been around. In 1840 Queen Elizabeth popularized the white dress when she married Albert of Saxe and slowly it became the color of choice, especially when seen in American films.
Other countries in the world dress their brides in different colors each with different symbolism. In Africa brides chose colors and pattern's to their tribes custom. Jewish brides often wear white, which represents spiritual purity and clarity. In China brides wear the color red representing luck and boldness. In Japan brides wear white silk kimono lined in red representing happiness and a new beginning. In India brides wear silk sari made using the color of choice, red, green, gold, yellow, and white.
All over the world the color of a brides wedding dress has a symbolic meaning associated with the culture or just the women herself. I found this old American poem about brides dresses influencing her future. It folows; “Married in white, you will have chosen all right. Married in grey , you will go far away. Married in black, you will wish yourself back. Married in red, you’ll wish yourself dead. Married in blue, you will always be true. Married in pearl, you’ll live in a whirl. Married in green, ashamed to be seen, Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow. Married in brown, you’ll live out of town. Married in pink, your spirits will sink.”
