Color and Me

Color is all around us. We see it on the street, we see it on food, we see it on clothes, we see it on houses, etc. Color is very important in our lives because it gives us excitement to our daily lives, without it everything would be so dull and it's like a world with no emotions.

I love the night life because it is where you can see various colors that are often man-made, just like, stop lights, billboard lights, disco lights, even lights of a car. Night life is one of the best ways to enjoy color because you can clearly see how colors project beyond the dark skies and streets. I also noticed that it really boosts our energy especially when entering a club with loud music and sparkling rays of neon lights. Color gives a loud vibe to our lifestyle.

Color is very present in Fashion. Color is often one of the major topics when it comes to discussing color harmony because it is where you find out what color best complements your skin tone and what color pops out your inner most personality, vibe and emotion. As for me, I really love blue on clothes because I don't have a very fair white complexion, I'm tan and it's very difficult for me to wear vibrant colors such as orange, yellow, hot pink and especially neon colors but somehow it works out for me. Neon colored clothes can be very tricky if we aren’t aware of some principles on how to wear and accessorize acid green, muted neon, pink or in cases electric blue clothes. Indeed the designers’ tendency to evoke the trends of the 80’s is surprising, however many people welcomed it with excitement. Also in fashion, color shows your decency. When I'm wearing corporate attire in professional cases, I make sure I put on neutral colors such as black, white and gray because it really shows how serious I am in what I'm dealing with.


I remembered the time I died my hair dark red, people quite stare at me because they feel that I'm tough and ready for action because red is a very strong color, then I tried black-blue, it;s very electrifying and I look so cool and happy all the times. Recently, I just died my hair a rust brown tone, and really works out for me, my skin looks whiter and I look so calmed and relaxed as I have noticed, earth tones make people feel comfortable and relaxed.


Color is also a main factor in dealing with food and culinary presentations because it enhances the taste of those savory treats. I fast food restaurants, the color scheme of their area are often red, orange, and yellow because it gives a strong appetite that is eager to eat. However, in fine dining restaurants colors are of earth tones and sometimes heavenly colors because they want you to relax as you are having a taste off their scrumptious meals. Another factor of color in relation to food is that whenever I think of a certain color, a treat comes popping out my head. For example the color brown, whenever I try imagining the color I have this passion for chocolates, when I think of red orange Kaldereta (a Filipino dish) comes out of my imagination. So that's color relates to my appetite.

Color has always been my best buddy. it gives contrast to my life and to everything that surrounds me. And that's how I define
COLOR and ME.
