purple

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.
