Lost in a cemented space
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I say to myself
What wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Bright sunny days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies
Are also on the faces of people walking by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
They're really saying
I love you
Lyrics from What a wonderful world great cover I found today.
I see them bloom for me and you
And I say to myself
What wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Bright sunny days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies
Are also on the faces of people walking by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
They're really saying
I love you
Lyrics from What a wonderful world great cover I found today.

Hearing colours in the new year.
So begins the new year ...
And with it comes words.
Kandinsky claimed he could hear colours by listening to music, and as a result he would create paintings. This condition is called synthesia
(1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.)
Lets try to experience the same auditory mixed sensation with various found and made texts allowing us to hear the colour words and imagine its feeling/place/sensation.
I feel not such a visual year coming on ...

Feeling Hungry?
Colour Combination Tuesday: Mark Rothko
Studies have shown that if red and yellow are placed next to each other they increase your metabolism thereby increasing your appetite. Certain fast food outlets, have used this psychological and physiological response of the yellow and red combination to their favour, creating diners and logos and clowns, all to get you to eat more.

I maybe in a complementary mood today but according to "google Ngram" the use of the word complementary is sliding (or is it not?), well in literary arenas that is. And apparently the word 'colour' is slowly on its way to becoming extinct. As always, the google Ngram appears to be an extremely reliable source for all your statistics queries.
