Must we have a favorite color? How does one pick such a thing? What does it even mean? Are we talking about your favorite color to wear, look at, eat, the color you use most when painting? How has this question become so common in our society?
You can have a million favorite colors, one for every tiny facet of your life. I know I do!
When I’m on a walk in the woods, my favorite color is that perfect shade of green in the trees. When I’m at the beach, it’s the magnificent blues of ocean and sky. When being playful, it’s pink. For clothes, definitely black and for eyeshadow, well, every color of the rainbow and all the colors in between.
Colors express mood and one should be allowed to shift their colors with their moods. Who wants to wear yellow when writing a dark song? And who wants to use black and white film when photographing the sunrise? Not I!
So the next time someone asks you what your favorite color is ask them to specify. It might be fun.
Just something to think about…
Thanks for reading.
