purple

[soltian]

purple is the combination of blue and red. the ultimate hot and the ultimate cold combining together to create something even more intense. purple is a melding point of opposite elements.

when you compare purple to green (combination of the cold blue and neutral yellow) and orange (combination of the hot red and neutral yellow), there's no question that they each have their own unique qualities. each green and orange has their own range of mood, both on their individual scales of "soothing" to "sick". but does purple act that way? no matter what shade or intensity, if not combined with other colors, purple continues to read the same. it's "weird". it's distinct. it forces itself noticed. it's flambouyant.

no wonder it's so ridiculous.

i just sorted my colored pencils into warms and colds. there are exactly the same number of each. this makes me smile.

Purple somehow always managed to be one of my favorite colors. Never knew why. Then Mace Windu, with his purple lightsaber and elaborate justification involving using both sides of the force sealed it.

...and then my roomate, when informed of this, goes, in all seriousness, "Just so you know, red and blue make black"

needlesss to say, horrible death followed

That makes so much sense, really. Mace Windu ties the world together with his purple lightsaber. Your roomate makes me sad :(
