Color Psychology



Black:

Black is the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission. Priests wear black to signify submission to God. Some fashion experts say a woman wearing black implies submission to men. Black outfits can also be overpowering, or make the wearer seem aloof or evil.


White:

Brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. White reflects light and is considered a summer color. White is popular in decorating and in fashion because it is light, neutral, and goes with everything.


Red:

The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations. Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention.


Pink:

The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.

Blue:

The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.


Green:

Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. Dark green is masculine, conservative, and implies wealth. 

Yellow:

Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism.


Purple:

The color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. It is also feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear artificial.

Brown:

Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Light brown implies genuineness while dark brown is similar to wood or leather. Brown can also be sad and wistful. Men are more apt to say brown is one of their favorite colors.


What's Happening With Britney Spears?




The latest I remember reading about Britney Spears was some mad story related to her. She looked extremely disturbed and absolutely like someone who needed to spend some time in some sort of rehab to re-collect herself. Also whenever one googled about her, the images were so sad and horrifying. One gets totally shocked remembering how cute and sexy she looked when she initially started singing but then completely lost her senses, her looks and sense of balance.

Anyway, news is that she started dating her agent Jason Trawick in 2009. Since then, Jason who is 39 years old resigned from his position as an agent to concentrate on their romantic relationship. But, now Britney has hired him as her agent once again because she is quite comfortable working with him. This time round, though Jason will not be the only person working as her agent, rather there will be an entire music department working with her so that she makes a comeback in her singing career. Jason will focus only on the acting part of her career.




Sources close to the couple say, Britney is really happy ever since she has been with Jason and that their relationship is going quite strong. Britney spent her 29th birthday with Jason in Mexico and was really excited about it. She said about her birthday vacation, "My birthday weekend away with Jason was amazing. Best birthday of my life!"

I hope we will see the better side of Britney once again and a not a bald , uncontrollable Britney now that she is in love with a steady man and is getting back to normal. Jason looks pretty nice but Britney seems a bit out of shape in these pictures.

In search of truth

“Questions are never indiscreet. Answers sometimes are.”

- Oscar Wilde

Forgive me, if I don’t happen to look at things like you, but I just can’t help it. Anyway, time mostly answers most of the questions. My search is not of a different kind…it’s just a bit painful, if one hasn’t been attached to suffering for long. Yeah, that is some opinion.

We all know that opinions, by all means, do not alter facts. But then what are facts? Something besmeared so badly that you can’t even dare to look at it. If and when, you catch a glimpse of it, you feel sorry for either the world or yourself. And why does that happen? Because truth in all it’s beauty can be quite an ugly sight.

It takes years to discover the truth and the beauty of it diminishes within a fraction of a second. It simply takes a moment to change everything…everything that you ever believed in. Just one moment and you are not even left with one tiny hope…What a pity but then this is life! This is the price you pay without bargain when you seek out the truth with all your heart.

When life unmasks a person, we are usually shocked. But when life unveils the truth, we are lost…Okay maybe not lost. But where do we stand? Most probably where scorching sun burns us or where thunderstorm nearly kills us and yet we don’t die.
