Color 2

Hello everyone, I'm glad that you come back to my blog again since we're close to Mid-term exam. This week we'll choose one color(red) and talk about the connections between the color and things. Since I'm running out of time, some implicit meaning of the color and other things will be mentioned on the next few weeks. Hope you can enjoy it!

- Colored things -

Let's look at a picture first.

What would you think about at the first glance? Sun? or a flag of Japan?

This is an example to show how color connect with different shapes. When the color is combined with shape, it is very easy for us to identify what does it mean. And this connection always help us to recognize things more quickly and correctly. Notice that there's a not to do sign above, it's a good example that we build combination between color and the sign made by people. Here's another picture.

Through this picture, I think it isn't hard to find that we're already combined the red color to these trade marks since we saw it on the ads, TV commercials, web pages again and again. The use of color on the trade marks gives us a special feeling when we saw the common trade marks. For example, we'll think of piano or motorcycle when we see Yamaha, or think of happiness and cool soft drink when we see Coca-Cola.

Besides red, we have more colors being used in our everyday life. And there are thousands of things related with color on the world. Thus, our world becomes more colorful and beautiful.

This is the end of the article. Finally, I want to ask some interesting problem. Have you ever thought about why Coca-Cola use red as it's trade mark color?  or why the color of shop signs at xiao fuu 2F(小福二樓) are often red and yellow? We'll find out next week.
