According to the dictionary, colour is defined as the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light. Life would be terribly drab if colours did not exist in this world. I cannot imagine a world where there are no colours. Everything will look very dull and it would be very sad to live in such a place. Landscapes and seas take life from the different shades of greens and blues, the colours of the rainbow, the different colours of fishes in the sea, and the multicoloured flowers.
We only start to realize what colour truly means in our life on a grey winter day, when it is cold and the sun does not shine. Here we stop to think what the moon must look like in all colours of grey or how tiring it would be to live on the sun with its constant red firery colour. Based on a study, psychologists believe that in northern countries there is a large number of people who commit suicide simply because there is an absence of light and colour for such a long time, because of the cold and dark winter all day long. It is advized for people to paint their homes in "happy" colours such as yellow and green to prevent someone from being depressed. Just imagine how happy we will become when we see a beautiful rainbow in the skies. All those colours make up for the dull coloured skies and makes the world a much happier place.
Colours bring a lot of imagination for painters. Painters would not exist if there were no such thing as colours in this world. Many painters often copy the pictures of nature and wildlife, other times they imagine a scenery and paint it with unique colours. They light up our walls with pictures. Colours in the advertising business is extremely important. The use of certain colours and not others will attract the attention of a buyer more than words in an advertisement. The wrappers that covers tinned and canned foods at supermarkets also play an important role in the sales business and all this is because of colours. Photography is also a very wonderful art especially when a moment in nature becomes immortalized by a clock of a camera.
If there is an absence of colours, the world would not be like what it is today. In other words, we should appreciate the fact that we are able to see such amazing and unique colours till this day. The world would be such a dull place if colours did not exist.
