Colours and Emotions
Colours is a form of non-verbal communication. Our perception of colours greatly influence our mood as an individual as it can add vividness to an environment or subject but also dullness and monotony.
There’s an infinite number of tints and tones for a colour, but the most relatable and basic ones are the primary and secondary colours which form part of the colour wheel.
These are the colors I would generally identify:
Red, Yellow, Blue (primary)
Orange, Green, Purple (secondary)
N.B: In the visible spectrum, white reflects light and is a presence of all colours, but black absorbs light and is an absence of colour. (Physicists have proven it, as per the diffraction ecand your argument is invalid!)
