Primary Color Study

I revisited a book from my days of Interior Design in college: The Primary Colors by Alexander Theroux.

It gave me so much inspiration just by thinking of those three colors: Blue, Yellow, and Red. His essays on each list all sorts of ways these colors appear in our lives and in our minds.

I finished reading and walked away with a few favorite quotes and whipped up 3 fiber art scarves!

Blue-

Not so much a color as a state of the light. It is also the void: primordial simplicity and infinite space…

Yellow-

It demystifies.

And for Red, Theroux quotes Eugene Field-

There’s that in red that warmeth the blood and quicken a man within, and bringeth to speedy and perfect bud the germs of original sin.”

Color is so powerful and it’s everywhere. It amazing how it can be used.
