Colour Facts For January 2019

  1. Did you know that the blood used on set of the movie, ’Sweeney Todd’ was coloured orange so it rendered correctly on the desaturated colour film used? Interesting, isn’t it? Burton insisted that the film be bloody, as he felt stage versions of the play which cut back on the bloodshed robbed it of its essence. For him, "Everything is so internal with Sweeney that the blood is like his emotional release. It's more about catharsis than it is a literal thing.” On set, the fake blood was coloured orange to render correctly on the desaturated colour film used, and crew members even wore bin liners to avoid getting stained while shooting.

  2. Anger management is a psycho-therapeutic program for anger prevention and control. What exactly is anger? It is frequently a result of frustration or of feeling blocked or thwarted from something that you feel is important. It could also be a defensive response to the fear or feelings of vulnerability or powerlessness. Did you know the colour pink helps killing the anger and calms you down? We should rather paint this world in pink than in red so that no one feels angry. Wouldn’t that be a good idea?

  3. Do you have green eyes? If so, you are part of an exclusive club. Wondering what? You are part of an extremely small group of people in the world! Brown is the most common eye colour in the world. There are myths that people with green eyes are magical, good at inventing things, and have quick decision-making skills and are also a bit strange! People with green eyes have a bit more melanin than people with blue eyes. The green colour is from a mix of a blue hue from Rayleigh scattering and “yellow” from the yellow pigment called lipochrome.

The bold blue hue can be integrated into nearly any piece of home decor, including furniture, linens, and more. Pick a vibrant shade that adds personality and character to your living room in daylight and snuggly warm cosiness at night. Pick a turquoise hue with an energising vibe which isn’t that overwhelming. Keep flooring pale for a bit of balance and continue the colour across woodwork, including shutters. Hints of white on artwork, shelving, lighting and furniture have a cooling influence on a colour-saturated scheme.
