Am I a color hypocrite

Am I a color hypocrite?

  In thinking about color in my life and world, I realized that I have a specific set of my own color rules that I began to notice. Firstly in my clothing, I don’t ware much color on my person, my wardrobe consists of mostly neutral tones, lots of black, navy, charcoal, brown and olive. Color in my clothing is never a random thing, never just thrown on or nonchalant. Combinations must be carefully considered, what colors will work well together? Do I mix neutrals with my color pieces? Even the color in my clothing tends to be somewhat muted, the hues tend to be rich rather than bright, with a few exceptions, wine, pine-green, cobalt and burnt orange. This color conservatism in my wardrobe is the polar opposite of the color found in my living space. Every room in my apartment is a different, generally very bright color, an eggplant living room, sunshine yellow kitchen with red dining table and electric green breakfront. Why is color such a good thing in my personal living space but not on my person?

Color in the world is generally quite random; we live among a chaos of haphazard colors, placed without relation to what surrounds them. Signs advertising products from fast food to movies blast us surround us, constantly bombarding us with their discordant hues. Golden arches peak above the horizon, next to brown and pink doughnut billboards. When I come across an instance of color organization it arrests my attention, no matter what the product, a systemic display of color will seize my attention. Some instances of this occurrence I noticed in thinking about this blog entry are.     Yankee Candles, I bought the sent of the month, Autumn Leaves,

I immediately noticed the organized color arrangement of the candles, I am a sucker for this type of display

I have gotten to post some of my favorate things, cake, half-naked carnival bacchanal, psychedelic Japanese video games, and crayons. But I really love zombies too, and try as I might I just could not find a  pic of a nice coloful zombie, so I settled for Killer Klowns From Outterspace, Enjoy !!

I hated the 64 pack kids in school, I was so jealous ! But I whined enough and eventually got a nice big box of my own!! It was color mastery at my finger-tips, I colored everything, even the wall-paper, it was not to my liking, a bit of trouble with the folks for that one, for some reason they did not appricate my red and purple butteflies just as the deal closed to sell the house we were living in, cretins.

Carnival in Rio has no room for black and white, but just about anything else is ok!

If Nethanyahu and Abbas played Katamari Damacy I think Middle-East peace would be a possibility in our life-time.

 I Love Cake!

Syntheic food color has changed our reaction to edible color, when before in human history would perfectly sane people eaten acid green or shocking pink food-stuffs !

Hi My name is Brooke and I am a color addict

Colorfulness, the description brings to mind instant associations. One can have a “colorful” personality or use “colorful” language. It denotes inhibition, exuberance a lack of super-ego, color is Id. Color is want, desire, instant reaction, the color of emotion, passion, joy is not black and white.

Black and White is considered to be a stylish combination in western culture, equated with refinement and sublime, intelligent beauty. This Photo of 1920’s silent movie star Louise Brooks perfectly captures the evocation of elegance of the color combination in this photo.

To me the quality of the black and white photography in Orson Wells Citizen Kane is un-surpassed in its inky richness of tone.

Black and white are synonymous with by-gone elegance, and in the case of illustrator Edward Gorey an oddly charming, Edwardian menace.

Phone Charger- Black as cool, modern utility

Perfume Bottle- Black as sleek sophistication

Powder Box- Black as shiny, rococo, decadence

Soap- White as something clean, pure

Black and White

Milk-White as something wholesome, nourishing
