The Colour of Hope

Product Information

Each was written for a specific recipient, based on three things they guaranteed would make them feel happy. I received a wonderful range of briefs. From the beautifully universal – a longing for nature and freedom, time spent with family, summers spent in other lands – to the gloriously specific – snaffling a Toffee Crisp from the fridge late at night, Fleetwood Mac songs, making the perfect scrambled eggs, and Ceilidh dancing. So along with Sandy and his dog Oliver (who just happens to be highly educated and talks), they roam the land, visiting mage fairs. Trying to stay out of mischief and out of sight of the Emperor. But things are about to change.

These secondary colors uniquely fuse dimensions of primacy colors to represent nuanced aspects of hope. Color Red is a warm color associated with passion, love, anger and heightened emotions.

Think of alarms, stop signs, rising temperatures and rising tensions.

Besides sunshine, yellow exists in plenty of plants and trees in nature. Many trees turn yellow in fall, as the seasons change and leaves prepare to drop before wintertime. There are also multiple types of wildflowers and garden flowers that are yellow.

In Italy too we say green out of envy: “ verde dall’invidia”. We also say “ verde come la bile” (green like bile) and that explains why green: the bile is green, and has to do with anger.
