Description My college teacher said something that caught my attention the other day.

"We're really mean to colors. We assign them meanings and they have no voice in the matter. Does the color blue want to be associated with sadness? Or the red with communism? Think about that."

And in turn I'm being mean to Al because USSR = Red, USA = blue y/y? |D;;

Lol... Americans didn't know that in old Russian language "red" and "beautiful" is the same word...

This is totally a rad idea, it's something to think about. |'D

Like purple is for royalty, in my head.
Red is for anger, blue is for calmness, yellow is for sickly, green is for earthy, etc, etc...
I think I wanna' mess around with this now.

I can't help but stare at this piece! It's like every time I look, I find something else I like~. GJ w/ the use of color!

...Now I'm wondering if there are anthropomorphised colors who are schizophrenic as hell b/c of their competing meanings. Like green: would it mean greed, life, will/courage, sickness, etc? Lol, idk

Colors have a lot of meaning. In this case, the teacher was saying sadness because of the whole "I'm feeling blue" thing.

I think freedom for blue Like the sky!
Plus it fits Alfred more XD
