International Colour Day 2020
 |
I was a creature of of odd tastes and a child of the horrid fashions of the 1970s and therefore found myself immersed in those vivid colors which evolved from the 1960s paisley and psychedelic prints.
Garish though they were by subsequent evolving standards, it was the style back then and I recall a certain tackish remnant through the 1980s with all the hair that went with it.
Not really the fashion conscious human being there is something about colors and combinations thereof which mark you as part of an era ... or even territory.
International Colour Day was proposed by the Portuguese Color Association as presented to the International Colour Association and was approved by the 30 country membership in 2009.
The day corresponds to the vernal equinox with those equalities of light and dark it imposes across the spectrum when it occurs.
Color is considered an influential phenomenon due to those dynamics of visual perception it imposes and therefore enhances reality.
It is a day for art, exhibititons, architecture, design, decoration, fashion, science identity, and all other aspects which utilize coloration in production.
