FUNCTION OF COLOURS
What is colour?
Colour is a microconsciousness. Like our senses of taste and smell, colour
helps us to understand the world around us. It helps us survive as a species,
and appreciate works of art.
Colour tells us whether strawberries are ripe, and sets the mood in paintings.
Colours can create emotions, change the atmosphere or help us to understand
things, like traffic lights.
