Celebrating International Colour Day!

Have you ever wondered where colours came from?

According to history, colours have always been intertwined with the story of humanity and the awe-inspiring natural world.

Colours originated from natural pigments, such as minerals, plants, and animal byproducts. Over time, as civilizations advanced, the creation and use of colours became more sophisticated.

Let’s look at the beautiful rainbow as an example—it reminds us of beauty after a storm!

The colours of the rainbow, often remembered through the acronym  ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet), each carry their unique meanings,  some of which we have summarised below:

1. Red – It represents love and courage.
-A bold colour often associated with strong emotions and power.

2. Orange – It represents creativity and determination.
– It blends the energy of red with the happiness of yellow.

3. Yellow – It represents happiness and positivity.
– It’s the colour of sunshine and joy.

4.  Green – It represents nature and balance.
– Deeply connected to the natural world, it symbolizes harmony.

5. Blue – It represents calmness and stability.
– Often associated with the sky and sea, it evokes tranquillity.

6. Indigo – It represents intuition, spirituality, perception, and depth.
– A mystical and deeper shade of blue.

7.  Violet – It represents royalty and luxury.
– Historically tied to nobility and spiritual awareness.

We encourage everyone to celebrate the beauty of colours. No matter what they are going through, there’s always calm and beauty on the other side.

So, for every storm, choose your colour and “OWN” it, revel in its beauty and significance.

Happy International Colour Day!
