Tim Hopgood's Wonderful World of Colours

Product Information

A world without colour is a dull and boring place. Colour is our eyes, making everything more beautiful! A world without colours would be a painting. It would be a dystopia. Colours remind us to appreciate and take care of the beauty around us. The resultant mixture, although it may be a purple colour, will be dull and dark. The absorption spectra of these colours are too broad. It is better to use cyan than blue because cyan absorbs mainly in the red part of the spectrum; and magenta absorbs mainly in the green part of the spectrum. If we add magenta and cyan together we get absorbing in the red and green parts of the spectrum but we allow the blue light to be reflected."

The beauty of nature inspires us to be grateful for all the colours in our lives. Colour is a powerful tool. It can evoke emotions, create movement and change, guide us through the world—and continue to inspire us long after we stop seeing it. Life is colour, and many cannot see it. But one day, you may see a rainbow in the sky or find it hidden in some flowers. Don’t be one who would rather live in a world without colour because the richness and vibrancy of life make the beauty in this world. A world without colour would be a dull place. So let’s not take it for granted that the world is full of colourful wonders. When the world is full of colour, how can it be a world without colour? Life will always be full of colour, but it can also be a world without colour.

Studies suggest there are connections between colour combinations and harmony, with reassuring feelings of a ‘pleasing’ appearance, visual rightness and coordinated balance. For example, neighbouring hues (such as red, orange and yellow) generate a colour ‘harmony’. Subtractive colors are those which reflect less light when they are mixed together," says Raiselis. "When artists' paints are mixed together, some light is absorbed, making colors that are darker and duller than the parent colors. Painters' subtractive primary colors are red, yellow and blue. These three hues are called primary because they cannot be made with mixtures of other pigments."

Continents, oceans, countries, populations all come in distinct shapes and sizes, but integrating these variations and differences into a single entity forms a world that is immeasurably more interesting, diverse and uplifting. Analogous: Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. For example, blue, blue-green, and green. Their colours have been designed to be the brightest, purest version of that colour, and wherever possible, are silhouetted clearly against white.

Orange represents warmth, creativity, and enthusiasm. Different hues and saturation levels include: The world is a darker place in the absence of colour Colour is not just the additive of paint but is a texture and a feeling: Everything in nature has colour.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate how beautiful colour is; it can be powerful and positive or negative, but it deserves our attention. A world without colour is lifeless. A world without colour would be like a book without words or a painting without paint. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you don’t have anything to offer. Imagine a world without colour, or where everything you wear is white. That’s the place I want to live. Colour is our friend, and we should never be afraid of it. Colour is something we all have in our hearts. It’s just that no one can see it! Colour isn’t just for paint and canvas; it’s for our soul. A world without colour is a world without a soul.I am an Associate Professor of Colour and Imaging Science at the University of Leeds. A good portion of my research discusses the impact of colour on wellbeing, behaviour and performance, as well as the need for understanding cultural differences in the meaning of colour. Without colour, life is grey. With colour, the world looks so much duller. Be a part of the world that sees colour more clearly. Colour isn’t everything, but a world without it would be pretty damned boring. No matter how many colours there are in the world, or how beautiful they may be, it just won’t be enough. Colour is a reminder that we live in a world without boundaries. A world without colour is a world with no meaning. Colour is the only thing that makes me feel alive. Nowadays, we still use colour for effective identification and categorisation, but may not recognise that we’re surrounded by many different ‘colour codes’ which shape our daily life.

Colour is a form of happiness that makes every day more beautiful because it fills you with feelings of joy and excitement. A world without colour is a world without happiness. Colour is a state of mind. It’s the vibrations we emit, the emotions that are felt, the ideas that are conceived, and the sights that are seen. Colour is not just in our eyes but in our sky, sunsets, auroras, light rays, and rainbows. Colour is in everything around us – every day. A world without colour is a world that’s not exciting. Sources of colour are important because they give a sense of vitality and energy to the world around us. But, without those pigments, our world would be drab and lifeless. A world without colour would be a world without life. Colour is the most brilliant and beautiful part of life. Without colour, there’s no possibility of art, music or love. If you have colour, then make memories. If not, then at least make art. Colour is an essential ingredient in the recipe for life; without it, we would be grey, and without it, we would have no personality.

The world without colour is a dull place. Without colour, life would be grey. We all need to see the world differently. Hohler goes so far as to say that once the collection reaches the critical mass of 1m images, it will be an “absolutely indispensable tool to help us understand today”. From coastal erosion and ice-cap melt to loss of fauna and flora, not to mention direct human destruction (of Palmyra in Syria, say, by Islamic State, or the Seti tomb in Luxor, by tourists) these watercolours serve as an invaluable reference.
