To our eye darkness is a type of color. It can range in shades but the key element of it is that it’s hard to see. It’s important to note that I personally don’t include certain scripture to mean yellow, while some would consider them yellow.

It’s surprising, and as a consequence, it changes the perception of colour – pink is a powerful shade, and has become now a modern necessity, shirking off its girly past life.

Bible symbolism is a part of Hebrew hermeneutics. “Biblical hermeneutics is the study of the principles of interpretation concerning the books of the Bible. It is part of the broader field of hermeneutics which involves the study of principles of interpretation for all forms of communication, nonverbal and verbal. This approach also includes “remez.” When writing The Colour Bible, which colour and it’s physiological/psychological effects most surprised you? There are two Hebrew words for yellow in the Bible. The first is charuts (usually referring to gold as in Psalm 68:13 or in ); and tsahob, (which refers to the color of hair or the skin of someone who is ill, often of leprosy as mentioned in Leviticus 13:30). Orange relates to ‘gut reaction’ or our gut instincts, as opposed to the physical reaction of red or the mental reaction of yellow.

JB: There’s so much to cover about the book and all the other projects you’ve been working on since we last spoke, but perhaps a brief synopsis in your own words about the book and why you focused on colour is a good place to start? Most famously, the streets of heaven will be paved with gold, a sign that heaven is a holy place due to the presence of Almighty God.To blanch means to make pale. So, the stone used to represent the Tribe of Joseph is a pale or light colored onyx. Some take this to mean compassion, others acceptance. It’s a picture of Jesus the Great Shepherd accepting us with all our flaws and impurities. Write the dream out and make note of the prominent color(s) that stood out to you.

Therefore, yellow represents joy, the presence of God, and God’s anointing, whereas gold represents God’s holiness, divine nature, and His majesty. In many churches gold and yellow cloths, clothing, and banners are often used to celebrate the holiest days of the year, which of course are Easter and Christmas. In „Farben“ von Laura Perryman erfährt man etwas über die Geschichte der Farbe, welche Rolle wer hatte: von Aristoteles über Isaac Newton, bis hin zu Olafur Eliasson. They say we don’t really know the meaning of ketonet passīm. You can see this dilemma in other translations of this verse (Genesis 37:3): TranslationColour is intrinsic to our lives. So intrinsic, so utterly ubiquitous in fact, that it’s easily taken for granted. It’s easy to miss the innumerous shade variations that go on around us everyday when there are so many other things to concentrate on; not least our digital screens. Even for designers and architects, colour is often saved for later down the line, with seemingly more important things being granted greater time and attention within the design process. But that doesn’t lessen the impact that colour has upon us, nor it’s innate involvement in all the things that we design and create. That’s certainly the view of Colour and Material Consultant, Laura Perryman, who I first interviewed in 2019 when her work was largely focused around colour and material trend forecasting and consultancy under the banner of Colour of Saying. It’s safe to say that a lot has happened in life since then, not least in Laura’s; having researched and written what she describes as “The definitive guide to colour in art and design.” The Colour Bible, which was released in late 2021, is a handbook of sorts; a guide to the science and psychology behind colour and an insight into the origins, evolutions and historical usages of a selection of 100 pertinent colours for designers in the 21st Century. And that’s not all Laura’s been up to either. Workshops, an online course, as well as a consultancy project with Graphenestone Paints and the creation of The Circular Colour Report have all come to fruition alongside the book. I caught up with her to find out more about the colourful journey she’s been on and to discover more first hand insights into The Colour Bible. A good example is the palette and colour communications work completed recently for carbon-neutral paint manufacture Graphenstone UK. Helping them identify a micro collection of five colours for health and wellbeing. Their paint has substantial ecological accreditations and awards due to its recycled content and ability to absorb carbon in the atmosphere when applied wet to walls and surfaces. Beyond just the planetary benefits, there are human ones too – less carbon means less harmful VOC’s but matched with colours that we know can calm and restore our emotional needs. From this, a mutual wellbeing interior palette was created. From a deep blue to a restorative dark pink to help with sleep – each of the five shades were chosen specifically to support mental health and wellbeing. Proving colour is an important and powerful tool that can help to lift a mood or calm the senses too. Scarlet can be paired with red in its interpretation as sin or impurity. Our sins are often referred to as scarlet, but they can be washed white by the atoning blood of Christ.
