What are colours? For me colours are vibrations. Gazing at colours nourishes my soul . Colours feed me and uplift me. Colours affect my thoughts and hence my feelings and moods.

Technically speaking, colours are the way our brain, by use of our eyes, interprets electromagnetic radiation of a wavelenght between 350 and 750 nanometers. The different wavelengths are seen as different colours, as in the spectrum below. You have probably seen a spectrum like this before. Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of over 750 nm is called infra-red, and radiation under 350 nm is ultra-violet.
Is it just me , or is our world more colourful now than it used to be ?
Advances in technology enable us to reproduce colours more accurately with a greater intensitiy.
Colour photographs taken in the 60s and 70s like films made around that time appear dull in comparison to those made today.

My thoughts about colours have changed too. I was taught that certain colours don't go together e.g. pink and red - but now pink red orange purple side by side seem pleasing , exciting and harmonious.
