My art teacher showed our class this video. It’s so interesting! I enjoy writing stories, and when I do, I like to imagine and design the clothes that the characters wear. And I try to have the colors of the clothes display the characters’ personalities or other traits. This video helps me a lot with that, so thank you!

Orange is also the color of death. Dying leaves and pumpkins have a deathly feel. Orange and black are the true nightmare combo, see Halloween.

The photography in this video is stunning! I loved hearing the adjectives used to describe the colors---a wonderful ELA activity for students!

Some perceptions I've developed
Red: Primitive (civilization's first palette)
Orange: Avarice (gold)
Yellow: Quick (works with Energy)
Green: Gross (mold)
Blue: Ghostly (common spectre depictions)
Purple: Death, Edge (oxygen-deprived skin)
White: Damaging purity (hard to explain, but sort of linked by racism by white supremacists as well as pop culture villains like White Diamond who use white as a symbol for pureness with no room for something else) void (because Spongebob and Paper Mario's take on "nowhere")
Black: Almighty (space, very dark vast, and beyond anyone's perception)

Very nice video. I agree. These are feelings i feel when i see them. I love sunsets when they are golden. And i am at the beach. It relaxes me and gives me hope.

I tried matching my favorite color to my personality based on this, it wasn't that far off. My favorite color is mint (a light blue-green color).

Hey there! I know it's been a while but do remember the music you used in this video. I see the sources in the description, but not the actual track. Really nice video from an old F.I.T Alum :)

Great Vid!! This was really helpful for a project in my digital photo class.

[gourikaaaaaa]

Thank you so much, it helped a lot :)

[onezdj]

it sounds like you are looking at a color and looking up synonyms to describe them without any sort of meaning
