WHY PINK? WHY RED?

   Valentines

     (no.3)

We all know  that  both colors of  red and pink, are symbols of love,
and that they are connected to Valentine’s  Day.

Then – what is the difference?    What color to choose?

Well – the two colors differ in meaning: Red color is associated with the physical aspects of love, it refers to passionate love. Pink color is associated with the spiritual aspects of love,
an un-conditional and enduring love, what we call
“TLC” – tender, love, care.  And also a self-love,which  is essential
for giving love to others…

In 1983, the artists Christo and Jean-Claude, launched a huge  and ambitious one-of-a-kind installation  (of which only the preparatory drawings and the photos remain): They wrapped the coastlines of  11 uninhabited islands in Biscayne Bay, in Miami with pink woven synthetic fabric. The artists did not explain their choice of pink color,but from the point of view of  pink symbolism, it seems they wrapped  Nature  with tender and caring love…

So,

when we choose our presents to our loved ones, we have to consider the color…

                WHY RED?

            (VALENTINES)

                    (no.1)

         

en.wikipedia.org


The colors of red and pink are related to

Valentine’s Day,  the lovers’ day.

Speaking about red, my intuitive  guess was

 that red is the  most popular color

among people all over the world.

As a mother and a grandma,

I know that red is the first color babies identify,

and it is mostly  attractive to them.

But  amongst  adults? -

 Well, I was wrong!

A poll, taken in 2003,

 by Joe Hallock

showed that only

 7% (men) and 9% (women)

preferred red,

while 57% men and 35% women

preferred –surprise: Blue...

en.wikipedia.org




Did it surprise you?

In fact, I  did notice that most of my clothes

are in all kinds of blue variations...

What is your favorite color?

What color is dominant in your closet?
