a couple of simple thoughts on color...

"All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites."

I found this quote especially engaging because it communicates, in very simple terms, two basic color relationship concepts...analogous (neighbors) and complementary (opposites).

"If one says 'red' and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that these reds will be different."
