The Power of Colour

Green is nature’s healing power but is a secondary colour, perhaps, why people unwittingly go walking for exercise but our eyes are filled with green and the relaxation felt after a walk is partially responsible by colour. Red being a prime colour is a very grounding colour, and perhaps an example is used on Valentine’s day when red roses are delivered to make a very definitive message. Red is also very much used on Remembrance Sunday, as a very grounding colour and at a Remembrance Sunday gathering, we can all feel the energy. Blue which is also a primary colour carries the energy of oxygen, to the sky, rivers and of course the oceans, which people flock to during the summer. This is the colour that lifts our souls. Although green is a secondary colour, it contrasts with blue and red and green is a neutral colour. The green acts as a stabiliser to bring harmony to the colours.

Although the human is red in colour and the earth is green. Through subtle movements like a pendulum; we veer from one to the other, with some people being more extreme than others. Colours are like the 6th sense that due to our lifestyle is nearly lost, but we can introduce these colours and affect back into our lives through the connection of colour through flowers. We haven’t mentioned yellow being the colour which lies between green and orange and is a subtractive, made up of secondary colours but still carries part of the complementary to blue and green, as well as being an uplifting colour.

There are three primary colours which are, yellow, blue and red and then we have secondary colours etc. So when we mix red and green, we get purple or a Pantone of purple which is a secondary colour. From the three primary colours, we can produce well over sixteen million pantones, which are shades that originated from the three primary colours and have become a different colour or shade of a colour.

When we hear of people creating hybrid flowers, apart from the physical aspects of that flower, they are bringing perhaps new pantones of colour and new energy. So, we don’t have to use a definitive red, because we can create orange, which is more red based, being a grounded colour.

I have spoken before, how there might have only been a few hundred colours of a flower in a previous blog, which has ballooned up to over 10,000 colours and it has been people that have cross-pollinated to create the colour or the Pantone. Left to its own devices, nature would probably have created a few thousand colours and some of these original colours are the most difficult to produce because no pollination must be allowed to occur. Thus, a red colour or blue colour is as close to the colour deemed as a primary.

I think that is enough today because when we dig deeper, we find that different colours give off different waves of energy and it goes well beyond that.
The simple flower is not quite as simple as meets the eye, because, it does so much in the spectrums we cannot see, but we can feel and we can absorb the vibrations.
