Day #47 & 48: Yellow & pink!

So first of yesterday's photo... I took this one very early in the morning, right before I went to work...Cause I've been out all day and got home at 23.30, so didn't feel like blogging anymore...

My week of colors, I wanted to do the colors of the rainbow, but realy I had no clue it started with red!! LOL, So I'm going to use several colors from any color palette, going from light to darker. This week I'm going to show you White - Yellow - Pink - Red - Purple - Blue - Green. Haven't got an idea for what to photograph in these colors yet...

So Today it's YELLOW! Uhm,& Yes it's another pretty flower a daffodil, these are standing in my living room window and couldn't resist.  I always love these flowers...

A little about the color YELLOW: -1.Yellow is one of the three primary colors. -2. The word yellow comes from the Old English geolu, The color is associated with age and aging, both with people and objects. -2. Our sun and stars in the universe have a color temperature that we characterize as "yellowish". -4. Yellow is associated with Monday on the Thai solar calendar. Anyone that may wear yellow on Mondays, and anyone born on a Monday may choose yellow as their favorite color. -5. In some countries, taxicabs are commonly yellow. This practice began in Chicago, where taxi entrepreneur John D. Hertz painted his taxis yellow based on a University of Chicago study alleging that yellow is the color most easily seen at a distance.

So now on to day #48: Today is PINK! I've his this cute comfy sweater for like 4 years now and still love it. I do have to say I don't wear it that often anymore, since well it kind of lost it's glory years ago!! LOL. I still only wear it around the house when I don't feel like going out... :)

So here's a littls sumthin' about the color PINK: -1. Pink is a pale red color; the use of the word for the color was first recorded in the late 17th century. -2. Pink itself is a combination of red and white. -3. Roseus is a Latin word meaning "rosy" or "pink." -4. In Western culture, the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s. From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys (OK who knew this???)  because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color, while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color, or related to the Virgin Mary. Since the 1940s, the societal norm apparently inverted so that pink became appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century. -5. Pink is the color of the Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon. Pink was chosen partially because it is so strongly associated with femininity. -6. Most flamingo species are pink in color due to pink pigments in their diet, mostly shrimps. -7. The Pink Panther is a popular cartoon character.
