Colours

Colours are... fascinating! Without colours, we might only be able to view everything in black or white. Thus, I am going to research mainly on the colours of the rainbow.

Firstly, RED.Color icon red.svg
Examples o things that are red:
- Blood
- Red Apple
- Red Ribbon

Why red?
Red is said to catch people's attention. Thus, many warning signs use red so that it catches driver's attention and ensures that the driver reads the warning.
It stands for affection or love, boldness and enthusiasm.

Secondly, ORANGE.Color icon orange.svg
Examples of things that are orange:
- Orange (Fruit)
- Pumpkins

Why orange?
Similar to red, due to its brightness, orange is used in the construction industry on road signs and safety jackets to warn passers-by of the pending dangers ahead.

Thirdly, YELLOW. Color icon yellow.png
Examples of things that are yellow:
- Sunflowers

Why yellow?
Yellow is very bright and glaring, thus it also catches the attention of people. However, overexposure to yellow might injure the eyes.
It can be used to describe cowardly.

Fourthly, GREEN.Color icon green.svg

Why green?
Green is said to be peaceful to the eyes. Looking at green may relax the eyes.
It is the symbolic colour of environmentalism. It represents youth too.

Fifth, BLUE. Color icon blue.svg

It is also calming.
