The emotional power of color Life in Yellow Yellow is one of the three primary colors, ever present in our daily environment and of course in the world of scrapping. It can represent a great variety of moods and here are some illustrations of some of them. by Nina Ostermann, Mylen Chartier and Stéphanie Leschiera Let's talk about flowers Primroses, among others. At the market there are primroses of all colors, in bunches so highly colored and so sophisticated that you would think that they were artificial. The briliance of the colors are so rich and of such an unbelievable variety, in colors ranging from white to dark blue, even the darkest purple, showing the whole range of pinks and reds. There are also striped ones, variegated ones and ones filled with contrasting colors. They are beautiful and yet, however, we are disappointed: the garden version of this flower has no scent... Because they are hybrids, happy to grow, no more than that. But if you get close to the original primrose, it is simply yellow and delicately perfumed. Which leads us to ask the question: why do yellow or white flowers give off such a wonderful perfume?... Nature, which never does anything for no reason, pulls out all the stops to assure that the flowers reproduce themselves, giving them a very pale color yet very bright, which is the last that you can see when night falls, and by giving them a wonderful deep smell... So insects pollinating these flowers, nocturnal insects, if they can't see the flower at least they can smell it! Yellow is irreplaceable It's a fact: colors and sounds respond to each other, but not only in poetry; in physics as well. Colors and sounds emit waves, the length of which can be counted in hertz, the common unit of measurement for electricity. In this physical link between colors and sounds, the wave138 HISTOIRES DE PAGES - LET'S TALK LAYOUTS MARCH 2014 length of yellow is in the middle frequencies, between 1000 and 2000 hertz... Now, this zone of frequencies, in the sound range, is implicated in communication and words; and when we measure how well-developed speech is in the development of a child, the launch pad of the child toISSUE 2 wards the adult , it is the educational role of the father which is thus explained and irreplaceable. "Single mothers" do not say otherwise... Yellow is thus the color of the father. So we can say that the father shows the world to his child to then show his child to the world.
