RTotD - Green; What makes "you" so special? >:/
15 years ago
"RTotD" = Random Thought of the Day.
Why is it that so often we see and use the colors red, blue, yellow and GREEN?
Red, blue and yellow are primaries so that makes sense that we see those everywhere in our clothes, toys, and (just everyday stuff)...
But why is green just as common as our primaries? Green is a secondary color; just like purple or orange yet wildly more used. I understand that we are now accustomed to this trend, and it just seems normal or "right" to use this color in combination with our primaries... but who, and why was it deemed that green be a "secondary primary" in the first place... why not orange or purple? Maybe it was because of our grass/ leaves... but in the fall even those will have an orangey hue. Sunrise and set also have hues of both purple and orange; and what of all of the purple flowers out there???
All I know is if I was purple or orange right now I'd be pissed and planning the assassination of green. He needs to be put back in his place.
Your assignment:
Go around today and count all of the green, orange, and purple things you see (not in nature). It's rediculous.

GIVE US MOAR >:[ ...lol
Also, I'll have to go with "emotional association". Green is a calming color, and both orange and purple are "louder" colors that make us form emotional reactions to them.
I don't really think I see much yellow in the world really, though. Much outside of situations where marketing people use the primary color scheme to attract a specific group of people. Yellow is also a very "loud" color. A "busy" color.
I sometimes wonder if I make a lick of sense to anyone but me. XD
