Today's Theme: Colors!
Did you know?
1.)
Pink soothes the nerves - Rowdy prisoners and combative patients? Pink
is the palliative color, commonly used to splash the walls in prisons
and mental health care facilities to aceist in subduing those who are
out-of-control. So pink definitely has a useful place and a purpose,
other than decorating a prom dress or Barbie’s dream house
2.) Blue is the most common favorite color - Blue is the most favored color in the world, with purple being a distant second. A whopping forty percent of people worldwide would choose blue as their favorite color in playtime poll booth, with purple-lovers lagging way behind at fourteen percent.
3.) It is a color shown to help you solve creative problems. (while green stimulates creativity, blue is suggested for creative problem solving)
4.) There are more colors in a rainbow than there are stars in the Universe or atoms in your body.
5.) Early RED dyes were made by crushing the dried bodies of the Cochineal insect. Seventy thousand insects had to be harvested, dried and crushed just to produce one pound of red dye.
6.) Medical professionals started wearing white in the early 1900’s so dirt and grime, which was feared to cause infection, would show better.
7.) Blue paint was so expensive because it was produced by crushing up the jewel Lapis Lazuli which is primarily found deep in the mountains of Afghanistan.
8.) The sky within a primary rainbow is brighter than the sky outside of the arc. This is due to the fact that the millions of droplets needed to make a rainbow are spherical and overlap to create white light. At the edge however, these colored discs don't overlap so display their individual colors producing the rainbow arc.
9,) The Egyptian queen Cleopatra loved purple. To obtain one ounce of Tyrian purple dye, she had her servants soak 20,000 Purpura snails for 10 days.
10.) Color is an imaginary friend - Technically, it’s all in our heads: color does not exist at all. It is something created by our brains as a side-effect, when it desperately tries to make sense of the overwhelming amount of information it receives from the outer world. So, should you ever find yourself in a heated debate over color combinations with someone you are certain has an IQ below your car’s maximum speed or is just simply colorblind, keep in mind that it is a pointless argument and you should drop it immediately. You’re both wrong.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
