Without further ado, I should now like to
do away with any unnecessary small talk and get straight to the point as it is
way too late to be starting an article on a random note such as...
...the fact that I went to this Brazilian
restaurant (Casa Brazil) earlier on today and had so much food that I actually
had to take a NAP when I came up back home before being able to fully recover.
I would have never actually thought that
overeating could make you feel so light- headed and disorientated.
But you’ll be happy to know that I have now
regained by prowess and, having equipped myself with twenty minutes to spare,
shall get back to last week’s topic, namely, the meaning of colours.
As a non- random introduction to today’s entry
(at least not as random as the above), I should like to note that all of the
waiters at the restaurant were dressed in black uniforms and wore bright red
ties. Let’s see what they were trying to achieve.
(See << http://www.color-wheel-pro.com/color-meaning.html >> )
Black
Mysterious colour, often connected to the
unknown or, yet again, the FEAR of the unknown. It can, however, under some
circumstances (i.e. a black suit) denote strength and authority.
Some use it to blend in by combining it with
darker colours such as olive green, brown, etc; not my personal favourite.
Others, on the other hand, tend to combine it
with brighter colour so that they can stand out and get noticed easily.
Green
Symbol of growth, harmony, inner peace. Buying
a green suit, however, will not denote any of those unless you’re a leprechaun.
Dark green is an indication of wealth and
power. Nevertheless, I’d only use dark green for ties and cufflinks.
Wearing bright green tells those around you
that you are a very sociable and open- minded person.
Pink
They say that real men wear pink. That’s
mainly because it opens you up and shows those around you that (don’t laugh)
you’re not afraid or ashamed of your more emotional (feminine) side.
A pink shirt or tie tells the corporate world
that you are up- to- date and very open- minded.
If you choose to wear pink, stick to
accessories and avoid turning into a flamingo; it doesn’t bode well.
White
Often associated with purity and innocence;
quite mistakenly so, if you ask me. Those who wear white normally know what
they want and how to get it; that’s why white is also considered the colour of
perfection.
Wearing white is also often associated with
the fact that you are a person who’s not afraid to get his hands dirty; for
that reason, try to stay away from pristinely snow- white suits.
Purple
Royalty, ambition, imagination, luxury,
wisdom, independence; need I say more?
As you might have already guessed, purple has
always been my favourite colour.
Those wearing purple are often seen by others
as mysterious, yet quite approachable, friendly and easy to talk to.
I do hope that the above (as well as last week’s)
brief overview of the meaning of colours will be of some use to you in the
future.
And now, I, and the three kilograms of meat
that I somehow managed to have at the Brazilian place today, shall have to bid
you adieu.
And, pray, avoid wearing the following at all
cost:
