Immersion in Yellow!
Yellow has a royal position among Primary Color as one of three colors that shape the visible Universe. It is a unique, indivisible color, like an element that has no components but its pure self.
It represents one of the three dimensions of our three-dimensional world.
Yellow signifies Sunshine whose aura emits an infinite glow that radiates sideways, versus receding away like Blue or jumping forward like Red.
It beams with Joy.
Manuscripts delving into the mystery of Color date back to the beginning of time. SYMBOLIC COLOURS by Baron Frederic de Portal is a rare treatise written in 1837.
He writes:
“The sun, gold and yellow were the symbols of human intelligence illuminated by Divine revelation. The heat and the brilliance of the sun designates the love of God which animates the heart, and the wisdom that illuminates intelligence.”
It is also one of the hardest colors to paint because it resists taking on form as a solid mass. Notice how yellow retains a constant vibration of non-material substance.
It glows in the landscape.
It lures with sweet succulence.
It engays a room like sunshine.
It communicates innocence and simplicity.
“In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed onto the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine”
The Beatles, 1999
