Lets talk Colors

Sometimes i will wake up out of bed in the middle of the night and just start to paint .... i dont always know where its coming from but it just comes out, and i dont fight it. i enjoy these times because its a free as i am. nothing exists during these times. Only me and these colors. its on a deeper level of my spiritual self that i allow paint and colors and emotions out on canvas.

so , now i ask, relating to our Ancestors and the ways that colors were incorporated in jewelry, clothes, art , and in general .... what are the meanings of them ? and what are special patterns of colors that have meanings as well ?

red

orange

yellow

green

blue

purple

white

black

brown

gold

silver

Peace and Love,
