"Colors"

Wherever we go, we see colors everywhere.

Blue for seas.

Green for peas.

Yellow for bees.

But whatever we perceive to be, color is at times relative. Apart from empirical sensation and interpretation, we learn to connect colors to anything or anyone of indelible value; we relate it to an unforgotten portion of time. 

Thereof, one may even differ the idea that actual colors are always objectively real. For it's neither fixed nor certain, always dependent of the beholder.

Thus, in the light of personal experience, we associate colors with memories (pleasant or not). These colors then heighten the act of recalling what has been learned and retained through associative process. And it's no surprise that, in a world awash with monochromity, we evolve in ways that help us remember things in poetic details.

So, to some as it is to me, 

blue becomes dreamy, not gloomy.

Green becomes lively, not queasy.

Yellow becomes doughty, not cowardly.

And, I don't mind if the color red tames my melancholy. 🙂
