My Life In Color on Red and Brown Thursday (11/10/22) | HIGHLIGHTING THE COLOR FOR THE DAY

The idea for My Life In Color - Highlighting the Color For the Day evolved from a challenge based on colors assigned to each day that was the concept of a former Hive member. I decided to create my own version. It's not a challenge; just sharing many of my personal photos and digital drawing images in my collection.

With that said, today is Red and Brown Thursday?. I'll be sharing all colors of the spectrum that encompasses both hues. My choice of colors are found in my color chart below in which I assigned a different day of the week with a particular color or color blend.

I've read numerous times how colors affect our lives and how we navigate toward certain hues due to perception. This has been done for thousands of years. In different societies, an array of colors are adapted for specific customs.

According to colorpsychology.org, red is one of the primary colors. It represents passion, warmth, and sexuality. However, it's also a symbol of danger, violence, and aggression. ¹

If you want something to stand out, it's often accomplished by marking an item in red ink. In fashion, if you want to make a statement, wearing a red colored garment will definitely work. However, red is usually associated with a personality of a person who is confident. The site also states that red sits between violet and orange on the color wheel. Colors that are similar to red are rose red and red orange. ¹

The color brown is a combination of red and green. I didn't know that brown symbolizes safety and security. This color also symbolizes earthiness as the soil is predominantly brown. In artwork, the color brown in the 18th century,symbolized humility, simplicity, and wellness. ²

When I think about these two colors in my own personal style, I think of my decor and wardrobe. I see these colors weaved throughout my entire adult life. When purchasing clothing items, my first glance is toward any shade of brown. It's my favorite because the items can be paired separately with almost any other color. The only shade of red I like is maroon, which is a deep dark hue.

I'd be pleased if you'd view my images for today set out below.
