  • Life would be very dull and boring without colour
  • It is difficult to imagine a life without the blue sky, green grass and the colourful flowers.
  • Here, I would like to talk about a place I visited which was full of colour

  • It looked as if the whole colourful culture of Rajasthan was on display there

Part 3 – Follow up Questions

  1. Is colour important for clothing?
    Yes, color is important for clothing. It reflects the choice and also the personality of a person. Also, there are many occasions where clothes in appropriate colors need to be worn. So it is important to consider color for clothing.
  2. What colours are the least popular in your country?
    There are no least popular colors in my country. I think it is a personal/individual preference and people have their choice or taste when it comes to colors they like or dislike. However, it cannot be generalized for the entire nation.
  3. Would these colours become popular in the future?
    There may be colors that become more or less popular every year, but that is only in terms of the fashin trends. So, colors which are not much seen or used in the fashion industry today, may become more popular in the future.
  4. What was the most popular colour last year?
    If I talk about the fashion industry, purple color was in trend last year.
  5. How do colours affect people’s mood?
    Colors affect people’s mood in both positive and negative ways. Some colors may bring a sense of peace and serenity, for example, the blue color of the sky, or the ocean. Some colors make us feel happy, like yellow, orange, and other such bright colors, especially when we see flowers in such colors. Some colors may make us feel dull, like greys. When there are too many days without sunshine, the days are usually dull and grey and make us also feel low on energy.
  6. What colours are mostly seen in buildings in India?
    In India, buildings are mostly painted in lighter shades of whites, browns, and other such colors. Some buldings are made of brick and are red in color. The buildings that make use of stone are the color of the stone. However, these days, we can find buildings in different colors, some are light and some bright in color.
  7. What colour is suitable for offices?
    I think the color of the walls of offices should be mostly lighter shades, like cream, white, light blue, etc. However, there should be some area of the office that has bright colored walls, like in the cafeteria or the recreation room.
  8. Do you think the colours of a company’s uniform represent the image of a company?
    Yes, it definitely does. The color of the uniform reflects the branding and image of the company as it gives out the message about the outlook of the organization. It has been researched that the color of the uniform helps in bringing the customers back.
  9. How differently do men and women look at the same colour?
    I recently read about the research that men and women describe the same color differently. Women are better at recognising and distinguishing colors, while men may not be that accurate about the colors they see. It has been found out that this is because of the difference in neural connections in men and women.
  10. Is there any change in the use of colours in the present than in the past?
    Yes, there is a change in the way we use colors today, as compared to the past. There have been many new colors created in the recent past, that weren’t available earlier. These days we have more variety of colors available in everything we use and ses around us, be it buildings, clothes, gadgets, appliances, etc. In the past, fewer colors were used in all spheres of life
