CoLoRs

Color plays an impeccable role in setting up our mood,emotions,feelings and state of mind.
Objects reflect light in different combinations of wavelength which our brain pick up on and interpret them into the phenomenon we call color.Hypothetically,there are  seven colors (i.e Violet,Indigo,Blue,Green,Yellow,Orange,Red) which we collectively call VIBGYOR. Thus according to scientists, being a mere wave length within the visible spectrum of the human eyes, color impacts our daily activities in a minimal amount.

Interestingly, colors does play a huge role in our religion.
In religions, colors goes much deeper than surface decoration,it symbolizes state of mind.Buddhist believe that meditating on the individual colors and their essences is a way to achieve spiritual transformation. Color Blue in Buddhism symbolizes coolness & infinity, Red exemplifies Fire and life force; where as in Hinduism, proper use of color is believed to keep people happy and cheerful. Here, Red signifies a sign of both sensuality & purity. The bride wears Red sarees and a woman's body is wrapped in red cloth for cremation. Other colors like saffron indicates fire and burning away impurities and this color is worn by holy men, Yellow is denoted as the color of knowledge & learning, happiness & peace, Blue determines brave and strong character. This is the reason why we have seen Lord Rama & Krishna wearing blue and having blue faces.
Moving on to Islam, it is said that Prophet Muhammad's favorite color was Green. It also symbolizes vegetation and life. Its even written in Quran that inhabitants of paradise will wear green garment of silk. Furthermore, In Christianity black represents death, blue signifies heaven and truth, green denotes plant life and spring, Red is a color of blood and fire and White is a symbol of purity and happiness.

However, psychologists believe that color influences a person perception, but these effects differ from people to people. Factors such as gender,age, culture can influence how an individual perceives color.Many marketers see color as an important part of marketing to attract people, even palatability of food is also determined by its color.

Thus, the interpretation of color varies from place to place and people to people . Some nations associate red & black with anger,where as some denotes purple with anger and German associates yellow with Jealousy.

So as a human, discrimination of color is totally based on our character and mind. We cannot force ourselves to like green if we follow Islam and to like saffron if we follow Hinduism. We should not impinge religion even in choosing colors because as I mentioned earlier in my blogs, we should follow our religion but not blindly. This choice of color should be based on our sense of mind, and feeling of tranquility.
Like all other discrimination, differentiation between colors is also a kind of unseen sin.

Thank you!
