I've been thinking a lot lately about colour. Seeing as I'm studying photography and partly art colour is a major contributor to what type of mood your trying to reflect. For example cool colours such as blues and purples represent coldness, or calm, often sadness. Then there are warmer colours such as yellows and oranges and reds that represents excitment, a lighter mood but sometimes danger.
I've also been thinking (For an upcoming photoshoot) on complimentary colours. Red & green, yellow & purple, orange & blue or even black and white. With warm vibrancy and amazing happiness also comes the calm collected or sad moods. It reminded me somewhat of Religion and my relationship with God. Yellow and purple reminds me of when great things happen and I'm incredibly happy but his provided the contentment thats allowed the yellow to burst through. Then other times it can be full of anger towards God for things that aren't his fault at all, so the relationship is red, but then there is the calm green neutral feeling that he surrounds me with to help me see sense and remain as calm as possible, allowing the red to be less dangerous and over powering.
So although artists look at the complimentary colours to use in their art, or we look at colours that go well with our outfit, we should really be thinking of the complimentary colour that God has provided in your current situation.
