Color Is Like Number

a: Color ~
b: Number

What: Or it can be. The linked article is about using math and modern color instruments to quantitate the color in well known paintings. This is a very interesting process that more artist should tune into. As usual, the Japanese are ahead of the curve.

Color is like sex

a: Color ~
b: sex

What: Color is like sex. It's mysterious. It's unknowable. It never looks the same twice. No two people see the same thing. No two people feel the same thing. I once went to China on a cruise ship. Eight hundred of us got off the ship wearing white, because it feels festive and shippy and says "I'm on a cruise." In China white is the color of mourning. We looked insane.

Color For A Blind Person

a: Color ~
b: flavor

What: " imagine you're eating something. There's the texture, but then there's the flavor okay. That's why root beer doesn't taste like coke, the mouthfeel is the same, but the flavor is different." The discussion is finished in the reddit link.

b: the low, deep pitch of a primitive horn

We can now look at the buddha families described in traditional terms above in terms of how they manifest themselves in our experience of ourselves and those around us, capturing both our wisdom and our confusion."

Color Is Good

a: Color in antifreeze ~
b: food coloring

What: "The color in antifreeze is like food coloring. It's added by the manufacturer as an identifier. Prestone has always used fluorescent yellow, Texaco and Shell have always used green. So it gives you a hint as to the identity of the coolant's manufacturer, but it doesn't tell you what type of coolant it is, and that's the more important question."

Konica Minolta Color Meters

a: Konica minolta color meters ~
b: A ruler for color

What: This color meter is a like a thermometer for color or maybe a ruler. It measures the coldness or hotness of a color. This is NOT a subjective experience, it involves a methodology that is consistent and reproducible and highly mathematical. Many artist don't like this idea. The idea of unity of color and number, of color and math. But they would be close-minded to cling to such an idea. The unity of color and number does not diminish the emotion experience of color. It unifies the abstract world of math and sensual ness. It REPRESENTS a unification of mind, not dismemberment. Or a color scale like weight........sometimes the color is heavy sometimes light....
