Summer is beautiful.
The vibrancy of nature's colour palette creates a perpetual sense of liveliness which cannot be experienced in any other season.
Topic of the day: Colour
Okay, so I know you all know what colour is. What I actually wanted to talk about was the colour of beauty. Everyone always says, "My favourite colour is [fill in the blank]", but have you really stopped to think about what colour would you define to be the colour of beauty?
So it happens that my "favourite" colour is black. Yeah, I know it sounds like the answer a Marilyn Manson type would give, but the depth and richness of various black tones is quite intriguing.
And whilst typing this, it makes me want to go and paint a painting based on solely on the colour black.
But anyway, that was a tangent.
Something I had come across a while ago which intrigued me:
Synesthesia- (grapheme)
from the Ancient Greek σύν (syn), "together," and αἴσθησις (aisthēsis), "sensation"—a phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.

In other words, imagine seeing colour through sound.
