Colour plays a very
important part and has a definite function in our (i) environment, (2)
attitudes, emotions, moods, thoughts, and behaviour, (3) clothes, and (4)
health. “We are living in a colour age. Colour is constantly with us in our
home, clothes, shops, decoration, furnishings, and automobiles. Wherever life
exists there is colour. Colour has an ancient history. Schools of colour,
music, and perfume were established by the Egyptians, Persians, Babylonians,
and Assyrians.
Colour is the effect
caused by the reflection of certain rays of light, which is a form of intense
vibration. Light is the agent which causes the sensation of vision. Light must
enter the retina of the eye before anything is visible. These vibrations affect
the nerves in the eye, fusing the sensation known as colour. Colour as it relates
to life is a matter of experience and sensation. It is romantic in effect.
Surface appear to be coloured depending on the colour of the light rays they
reflect. A white dress reflects all of the components of white light. An orange
surface reflects red and yellow ray’s, which mingle and give the effect of
orange. A black surface reflects no light.
Colourists state that
colour is a reality- that it lives, moves, and reacts as a separate entity or
being the same, as you, I, or a table. In other words, they say that colour is
not merely a part of an object we see but that it exists within itself. They
teach that to know colour you must realize it as a thing apart from objects;
that you must see colour mentally, an entity existing in its own right.
Colourists prove the
reality of colour by demonstrating flights in a plane `gondola’ into the
stratosphere. In first flight the gondola was painted black. While the
temperature registered 75 deg, F. below zero outside, it rose to 100 deg. F.
within the gondola, and was quite uncomfortable.
In the second flight it
was changed to a white gondola. The temperature fell to below freezing inside.
To-day the colours used for ascending is black and white. The black absorbs or
catches the light rays, thus producing warmth, and the white reflects or throws
off the light rays, which is cooling, thus producing balance and comfort.
Healing with colour is
comparatively not new. The harmonization of sound and colour is now being
recognized and used by many physicians, psychologists, and psychiatrists in the
treatment of certain diseases and behaviourisms. They consider the correct use
of colour as beneficial as taking vitamins A, B, C and D. Some colours
stimulate our organs, others act as a sedative.
Colours function and
according to their nature or specific rate of vibration. Red is the lowest and
coarsest rate of all colours because it is the slowest. It is made by the
lowest vibration of air- 24 vibrations per strike are heard. Rose is a higher
vibration of red. Red contains thermal rays, blue and violet, which are
intensely warm. Red and yellows are in greater demand in primitive languages
and develop first in an evolving language.
