A<br \/>\nWe have one of the most sophisticated light sensitive cones in the natural world and birds and insects might be right up there with us.<\/p>\n<p>2. B<br \/>\nIn 1706, Newton placed the colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet on a circle grid (remember ROY G BIV from science class?). If you spin the color wheel, the colors blur together to see white and the color wheel helps us to design in complimentary colors.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0C<br \/>\nBlue always tops every survey of the favorite color, second to white.<\/p>\n<p>4. C<br \/>\nJust think McDonalds and many other fast food spots as experts tell us that red and yellow make us think we are hungry.<\/p>\n<p>5. B<br \/>\nDid you know that bulls are color blind and actually react to the movement of the cape to get them excited and charge the matador?<\/p>\n<p>6. B<br \/>\nYour iris is the colored part of the eye and depending on how much pigment your eye contains, determines how dark your eyes will be.<\/p>\n<p>7. A<br \/>\nYellow, Red and Blue are the only hues that cannot be created by mixing other colors.<\/p>\n<p>8. B<br \/>\nIn 1764, the Carthusian monks created this sweet and spicy yellowish-green liqueur that is still enjoyed today.<\/p>\n<p>9. C<br \/>\nViva Magenta is a brave and energetic color, pulsating with vibrancy, creating a brighter outlook as we reinvigorate our lives from the loneliness of the past pandemic years.<\/p>\n<p>10. D<br \/>\nIn today&#8217;s design world, all color combos can be used with creativity and subtlety.<\/p>\n<p>11. C<br \/>\nIndigo is extracted from the leaves of the Indigo plant that is an ancient process that is still used today to produce this distinctive dark blue dye that we all associate with our favorite blue jeans. Synthetic Indigo dyes are now more prevalent.<\/p>\n<p>12. B<br \/>\nBlue is the rarest color in plants and animals because of the complexity of the compounds found in each of these and their inability to reflect blue light.<\/p>\n<p>13. A<br \/>\nEigengrau is a dark gray color that is perceived by the eyes when we are plunged into darkness and a signal from the optic nerve makes us see this as dark gray. Weird!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you discovered some new ideas concerning color as color fascinates, animates and illuminates all we do.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14073\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14073 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/ColorQuizEnd.jpg\" alt=\"Color-Quiz-End\" width=\"600\" height=\"678\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/ZLGFy3dNWfo?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=view-photo-on-unsplash&amp;utm_campaign=unsplash-ios\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h6>Featured Image Source:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/udhao.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beautiful-Color-HD-Wallpaper.jpg8_.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Udhao.net<\/a><\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love color \u2013 splashing out of a paint can, gracing a brilliant bloom, transforming an exotic pillow or radiating the luminescence of a peacock feather.
