Today is International Colour Day – nicely chosen to coincide with the Equinox. Around this date, “night and day are equally long which symbolically juxtaposing the complementary nature of dark and light, of shadow and illumination, that are expressed in all human cultures“, Colour Group GB
To celebrate, here are some of my photos where I think colour speaks for itself. I know, I know, white isn’t a colour but I view it as utterly magnanimous because instead of absorbing or snatching wavelengths, it reflects and shares them straight back again thus becoming the most pure, peaceful and generous ‘colour’ in my mind…
White Peace
Beautiful, Elegant Green
Warning, Agressive Red
Endlessly Creative Blue
Ray of Yellow Hope
For more colour inspiration have a look at the Dulux Colour Awards 2014 which is run in partnership with The Guardian – definitely worth a look.
What colour are you feeling like today and how will you celebrate today, March 21st 2014, International Colour Day?

I remember you doing a post this time last year about ” International Colour Day” I can’t believe a whole year has gone by so quickly!! I agree white is just beautiful, it’s the paint I use the most of, also that blue is gorgeous and I love the Ray of Yellow Hope photo it’s so painterly. Enjoy your canapés and the exhibition it sounds like you will be having a fun night. xx
