Answer 2

Who knows what a specific colour is?

As you grow up people educate you by telling you what you are seeing is a certain colour but there is no way of knowing if we are all seeing the same thing.

E.g.

Person 1 looks at the sky and sees a colour that would look black to you.
Person 2 looks at the sky and sees a colour that would look like red to you.
You look at the sky and see a colour that would appear yellow to the other two.

But you have all been taught that the sky is blue, so one man's black, one man's red and and man's yellow can all be blue.

The only person I would say who can really describe a colour is a person who has never seen one, someone blind from birth.
Their view of a colour is all mentally generated and is therefore a pure, uninfluenced interpretation of a colour.
Their colours are triggered by their brains interpretation of what their other senses transmit to it.

Even with machines that can isolate and break down colours into the smallest pigments still cannot govern what two sets of eyes are actually seeing when the colour hits the brain.

Answer 3

For myself, the colour RED means Wales and the Welsh.

BLUE means Tory or Royalist.

YELLOW means cowardly and untrustworthy.

PURPLE is for Julius Caesar and Rome.

What is colour exactly? Going back in time, we have Homer's description of "the wine dark sea". Was he seeing a RED sea?

What exactly is a BLUE moon? "Never in a blue moon".

Answer 4

female, 17, england.
red - stress and tension, feeling yourself overheating, bad worries. i dislike it unless im incredibly happy.
blue - water. safe - as a child my room was blue. calming
yellow - energy, confidence, in your face. sunlight and (for some reason) daises. makes me feel energetic though i rarely wear it as it seems too aggressive
green - natural, laid-back, peaceful. I love green, it seems confident but quiet, and simple. it reminds me of my garden, and matches my eyes! memories are green.

green is my faverite colour.

extra - i'm one of those people who associates colours with everything, and so i always remember colours and respond badly to those inkblot tests and so on!

hope that helped (ur email didn't work)
