In my today’s blog I would like to share some thoughts about the role of colors in our life. This write up is not going to enumerate about blue and green colors, it’s about choosing colors in our life.
I still remember the good old days of wearing black t-shirts and trousers in our school escort team to play the lead role in school annual day function. On teacher’s day, class XII of the students decided to keep blue as a concept to depict that teachers are at the level of sky. At the tender age the white top shirt and blue trousers are our school uniform and white & white for our sports day function are still route in my mind as beautiful story.
Today, we have are choosy in deciding the colors. May it be for painting the house, buying a car, cloths and as such. In one of the article I’ve read sometime back says, that human has 90% of their attraction and identification through color by all means. For instance, some of my friends mock that hey if it’s yellow color car then it should be none other than Raghu.
Recently, one of my friends has picked up a red shaded hyundai i10 and he has reasons to choose the particular color. The reason could be of any of the following – favorite color, lucky color, looks good, esteem and prestigious, sentimental, emotion etc., but the fact is that there is a reason tiedup for choosing any colors.
Let’s get in to Indian family traditions and their outlook of colors. In Hindu customs – during “semantham”, the general habit is wearing of color bangles in the function. Hold on, there is a reason for and why they do this. Red bangle is to show the blood relationship, green bangle is to show the attachmemt with the family members, black bangle is to prevent the eyes, yellow bangle is to show the “sumangali”, and blue bangle is to show the health.
During marriage occasion, mostly the people won’t prefer black as they feel it as “sad” colors. On most occasions in Hindu customs - yellow, green and red are the preferred colors.

On view, if you take the traffic signals – red, yellow and green would guide and control the traffic at the right time. This system helps the people who are driving on roads for their safety and convenience. Red symbol is to stop, yellow is to hold and green is to run. In some signals number systems are also followed to control the traffic, still the red, yellow and green lights remains constant.
In generic, light colors go with the dark colors. For instance, in schools black board is written with the white chalk piece and in offices, white board is written with black, red, green and blue markers.
Color theory is quite famous in abroad countries and it’s basically the countries following traditions. Like, England, France, Paris, Germany, Italy, London etc., these countries still follows their traditional colors and majorly aesthetic woods shades and stone shades are footprints by all means.
Indian instances like police stations and fire stations are red in color, hospitals doctors wear white color to show equality. In courts, advocates wear black courts to show the equality. Politicians wear different colors to show their party symbols.
In corporate, colors plays major role and in fact the similar colors are followed in all corporate functions and programmes. For instance, Oracle’s logo is designed with red color and starting from the portal, new letters, public domains looks as in red colors. In SAP, the log is designed with blue color and used across the corporate communications and programmes.
Each one of us has different view of colors and it’s importance. But the common base fact is that there is a reason for choosing a color and we feel the credibility of colors in our life. Whatever be it, the color that I would like to be reflected in me is the color of personality…the color of attitude…the color of virtues…the color of thoughtfulness….the color of optimism….the color of conscience….the color of the society….the color of empathy….the color of sympathy….!!!!
Keep refreshing my blog, to know my next pen.
