This was super cool. One of my children told me that sounds had colours, it was a part of how he communicated when very small, My nephew, a concert pianist hears sounds in colours and tells me instruments have colours associated with them. I see layers of coloured hues in certain colours sometimes that others can’t see. And another child can’t tell the difference between red and pink. I feel there is a wealth of research still to be undertaken to fully understand the myriad ways of seeing colours. This is Fascinating!

A great talk! We undermine and underestimate the power of colours so much

She begins her discussion with the evolution of The Color Purple . Interesting . Purple is not a primary color but it is the color that is most associated with reliability and power . Cool

I'm a Color Scholar and study color intuitively. I agree with some of the statements, not others. I do love the notion that we speak with colors when we can't find the words. This is absolutely what colors do for us. I've come to understand much of these messages and it's become my profession...helping people see themselves with the colors they choose. Thank you for this presentation.

I am an interior color specialist. I loved Axels talk. It puts alot of what I do into clear words. I do feel that we all perceive color very differently. Our eyes see it differently, and so does it make us feel very different. We also have memory triggers that make us feel very strong about certain colors...wheather negative or dramatic, or very positive. Do share your socials, Daisy. ID love to see your work.

Anyone else notice that when all the colours are in that wheel, mixed together they make the sacred geometric shape of the flower of life. Trippy

There are 140 named variations and hues of purple. The shade at the looks like it is Deep Amethyst.
It also brings a few questions to mind.
Why is an orange called an orange as well as the color orange, but an apple isn't called a "red"?
Why is the shade avocado green the shade of an avocados flesh and not the exterior before peeling it?
Many years ago. When I was in my late 20's (I'm 56 now), I was going through EMT training. At that time, a doctor, whose name escapes me, had talked about using color, instead of the number scale 1-10 for determining a patients pain, 1 being least and 10 being the most. It was experimental research at the time - BUT - it worked 100% better than the number scale for pain reduction. It was just as easy to assess the level of pain by initially asking, "If pain were a color, what color would your pain be right now?" followed by "What color is your pain now?" and so on. The most amazing thing happened - the patients pain decreased as the color changed when they were asked even without any type of analgesic or pain medication being administered. The numeric scale depends greatly upon the use of either one of those things AFTER they have been administered. The human mind, such a fascinating place. The color scale for pain became the tool I used when one of my kids injured themselves as they were growing up.

The colour word orange comes from the fruit orange. Not the opposite. And is derived from the word used by the Arabic traders, in turn from a Sanskrit word. In parts of Europ a word derived from “apple from China” is used about the fruit. E.g. apelsin in my native language Swedish. Although I don’t call the colour apelsin. The Swedish word for the hue is also orange (influenced by the French language it seems, not from English). Before English speaking people started to call the colour orange, orange, the hue was referred to as “yellow-red”. Also “fire red” seems to have been common in some languages.
Not many things were orange, especially fruits and vegetables (carrots weren’t as intense orange before… today’s grown intense orange carrots just sell better when they don’t look as brown , as we associate brown with dirt).
We all likely had good short, regularly used, words for red before the word apple. Although those words for red seem to have been derived from objects. E.g. the English word red stems from the Sanskrit word for blood. Red also seems to be the first hue all cultures made up a name for. Although it appears to often have been synonymous with “warm hue” too. Likely a word for the red and war hues was important to be able to communicate about berries and fruits, and perhaps fire.
Anyway…. there has been massive amounts of red fruit and berries… so I doubt anyone has attempted to rename the fruit apple to “the red”.
We start to use new, or simpler, words as we find a need to use them more often in our culture. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t notice the difference. A specific term for the hue(s) green seems to have been introduced rather late in most cultures/parts of the world. Still green colours are the ones that surrounded us as we evolved as a species. And the ones we can see the best. And that all who aren’t colour blind can differentiate between many subtle green colours. However, since it likely wasn’t important to communicate about the “ordinary colour”, we didn’t bother making up a concept for it. So making the assumption “more words for different hues and shades” = “we can visually differentiate between more hues and shades” is not always correct.
