How Do You Perceive the Colour “Blue?”

“Visual perception plays a big role in our everyday life. It helps us in learning and interacting with others. Because of the ease with which we rely on perception, we tend to overlook the complexity behind it. Understanding how we interpret what we see can help us design and organize our visual information.” by Will Fanguy –

While teaching a youth class the other day, I got into a conversation about perceptions of colour. The question posed to the students was – “if I gave you a paint brush and a container of black paint how would you express the colour blue?” Same goes for any colour, red, yellow even black. It’s certainly an emotional exercise for your imagination.

I think this is an exercise done with your eyes closed.
