They evoke the warmth of the sun when on walls, and they open up the senses. Warm walls make you feel enclosed and welcomed...and also make you want to reach out and welcome in the sun. They evoke the senses...eating good food, feeling the sun on your back, feeling warm and cozy with those you love. Warm colors worship the elements and bring you closer to them and them to you. They tie you securely to home and ground you for your explorations outside of home in the world. They are happy and optimistic colors; you can build a world in warm corals, which combine vibrant red and sustaining yellow. Reds and corals are warm colors.

Green is all the colors of spring,
from the deep green of grass after the spring rains,
to the delicate tentative greens of new leaves emerging,
to the variegated leaves of the hosta plants just peeking out of the ground,
sage greens, blue greens, turquoise greens
all make me feel peaceful and hopeful.

Pink is pretty, perky, feminine, fun. Blue is peaceful, soothing and it is the color of blue jeans which reminds me of my exciting youth in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.

Yellow! When I’m thinking of yellow, it’s not the Easter Peeper, out of the tube yellow I’m seeing. It’s more all the varying tones of the color.

Yellow can be
Flirty and
bold
soft and buttery and
renewing like spring
with bursting determination
and enthusiasm
It’s hopeful in that way

It’s feminine
joyful
exuberant
a creamy yellow is relaxing
pale kitchen yellow is homey and
sweet like warm honey
friendly
inviting
an airy space of light
peacefully confident that’s yellow
it’s fresh
solid
hope-filled
and sensuous
yellow is warm too
warmer still like the
center of a flame
It’s also
light hearted
open
soft
kind
playful
sassy
I’m also thinking of Italian majolica
glazes
That yellow has a
practical sophistication about it
weighty but light somehow
Yellow is just a friendly
inviting color to me right now.
Yellow!
