Focus 1 Section IBackground Information Some Basic Facts about ColorsColor is important in people’s lives. But color is more useful than just making the world beautiful. Color is considered one of the most useful and powerful design tools people have. People respond to different colors in different ways. In American culture, black has long been associated with death, while white is believed to signify life and purity. In the Orient, white is the traditional color of mourning. In the U.S., black also suggests sophistication and formality. Americans generally associate and trust a stability with the color blue, while Koreans have this reaction to pink and other pastel colors. In western cultures, different colors have different meanings and associations. Purple and gold are often associated with royalty, wealth and opulence. Red, white and blue convey notions of patriotism and, to some extent, conservatism. Green has taken on a very strong connotation as the color represents ecology and concern for the environment. However, it also conveys meanings associated with money and the suggestion “to go ahead” which is obviously derived from green traffic light. Colors are also used to represent holidays and seasons of the year. The fall foliage colors of red, orange, yellow, and brown are clearly expressive of Thanksgiving. Halloween: Orange and black. Red and green represent Christmas. Purple and yellow and other pastel colors represent Easter.

Focus 1 Section IWarm Up A Poem of ColorsOrange is a carrot, and the orange I eat. Orange and these bright new socks I wear upon my feet! Yellow is a lemon; yellow is a star. Yellow is the sun in the sky so far. Red is an apple; red is a rose. Red is the color of my frozen, icy nose! Purple is a grape; purple is a plum. Purple is my favorite juice. Shall I get you some? Green is the grass under both my feet. And green is the broccoli my mother makes me eat! Black is the night and a witch’s hat. Black is my Mom’s hair and that witch’s cat! Blue is the ocean; blue are my eyes. Blue is the sky where the lonely eagle flies. Brown is the mud; brown is the bear. Brown is the color of my brother’s hair. I’m learning all my colors, I’m really very smart. I put the colors in my head, I know them all by heart.
