A World of Colours

The weather has been dull the past week. There's been more rainfall than sunshine. Grey seems to be the order of the day. It's awesome to step outside and be greeted by the blue sky but this has been missing. I was glad to see a yellow-hued sunset the other evening. Notice the dark clouds overhead. Instead of cropping the darkness off, I chose to keep it - for the mood.









I've always loved colours so was I glad I stumbled upon this site, Colourlovers. The profile says COLOURlovers™ is a resource that monitors and influences color trends. COLOURlovers gives the people who use color - whether for ad campaigns, product design, or in architectural specification - a place to check out a world of color, compare color palettes, submit news and comments, and read color related articles and interviews.

The beautiful picture below is borrowed from the site - sunset in Burma. The accompanying colourful essay provides great insights into the country that is undergoing turmoil and hopefully a change for the better. Enjoy Landmark Colors: Burma (Myanmar) and enjoy the site.

  1. How ironic that Kuala Lampur appears in such an oppressive color, and yet Burma looks so soft, warm, and pink.

    Colors can be deceiving.
