Abstract

Colour has always been an important element in human civilization. We mostly describe things by its colour, shape or smell. For example, Red flower, Yellow jacket etc. according to a Japanese text book, we can find how colors express certain imagery and feelings, such as cold, hot, heavy or light etc. For example black evokes the feeling of heaviness, on the other hand the color white feels light in weight. Colors have also been imbued with religious significances. In Hinduism certain deities are portrayed through unique and specific color and meanings associated with that colour. The artists define the differences between deities and human in their paintings with the use of color.
