After comparing my choice with those of 200,000+ individuals,
I found that we had the same associations for Pure= While, Dignity=Dark Blue,
Sexiness=Red, Mourning= Black. All of the other choices differ but a few of
them were close in the color spectrum. For example, I selected orange for happy and
many others selected yellow. The one association I found most interesting was, “Which
color do you associate with a deity?”. I
most people have selected white. I wonder if white represents a deity to most
because some speak of seeing a white light after they have had a near death experience.
According to our textbook, “Color is light. White light is the mixture of all
colors of the spectrum visible to the human eye.” I personally chose that I do not have a color
that I associate with a deity because I view a deity being on a spiritual plane
which our eyes do not see instead of our physical realm. I tried to just select
the first color that came to mind without thinking too much into it. It is very
interesting to analyze the reasoning behind my choices. This color survey could
be made into a fascinating psychoanalytic exercise focusing on people’s
beliefs and emotions. I am curious as to how colorcom.com is going to use the
data they collect. Angelica has a very tedious career matching color. It was interesting to
learn how printed color differs from screen color and what steps are
taken to align the two.

Good Luck
While doing the survey, I actually had to look the word up to see the true definition of deity. I actually thought to put white down too because for whatever reason it made sense. I ended up putting red-burgundy because it reminded me of wine and wine was the first miracle written about in the bible. I agree that it would be interesting to hear why people chose the colors they did, instead of just knowing the color itself. Lulu
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Michelle, I appreciate reading your thoughtful comments about color. Your favorite color is lovely! What would you call that? Do you have a lot of that color in your home? I find that when folks ask me about my favorite color, I ask follow-up questions: My favorite color to look at? To wear? To live in? All the answers are different. In case you're curious, my favorite color to look at is green, to wear is red, and to live in ... well, it's more of a color palette, so it would depend. How's that for an ambiguous answer! LOL Dawn
