Colour Quotes

Being an artist and being a teacher are two conflicting things. When I paint, my work manifests the unexpected... In teaching it’s just the opposite. I must account for every line, shape and colour and I am forced to give an explanation of the inexplicable and account for the variety of styles the students present Picture Quote #1

Every time I have to try on a wig for work, I get excited about the colour; I’ve often thought about going for a platinum bob or also raven black, as it looks so great against pale skin. But I always end up being loyal to my red colour Picture Quote #1

It was a gradual process, realising I was different. I remember at primary school getting a worksheet with sums printed on it. I thought that they must have run out of the right colour inks and sizes for the numbers, because they were all the same, which isn’t how I experienced numbers at all. To me, nine is big and blue Picture Quote #1

Americans have their issues with skin colour, even within the black community, with light and dark skin; it’s crazy - but no one’s oblivious to it Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to incorporate colour into my life. Until recently, everything in my closet was black, white, grey, navy or olive Picture Quote #1

I am the colour red, in a world of black and white and if you value your ability to breathe... Don’t get too close Picture Quote #1

Pink is my favourite colour. I used to say my favourite colour was black to be cool, but it is pink - all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink Picture Quote #1

I think it’s because it was an emotional story, and emotions come through much stronger in black and white. Colour is distracting in a way, it pleases the eye but it doesn’t necessarily reach the heart Picture Quote #1

I’m a dark blonde, yes. I dyed my hair blue, then black, when I was 14. I thought the colour was more flattering and matched my skin tone. I don’t think I’d ever change back unless it was for a film Picture Quote #1

My favourite pool is located in a remote valley in the eastern Lake District, surrounded by vine-hung cliffs and slippery boulders. It has a torrential sheet waterfall at one end and is almost black in colour, so it appears bottomless, a portal to nowhere Picture Quote #1

White... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white Picture Quote #1

I’m not a painter by any stretch of the imagination; I’m a dyed-in-the-wool traditional illustrator, and I begin with black and white. If I need colour, I add it over the top. There’s a calligraphic element to it... it’s about the texture of lines on the page Picture Quote #1

There are never any absolutes in the fashion business: one day you may like black, and the next day you like colour. I think it’s a good lesson that we should never believe too much in any one thing - because the next day it’s out, and if we’re stuck to it, we’re out, too Picture Quote #1

There needs to be more film directors of colour. They bandy about the word ‘diversity’ a lot, but when I say ‘of colour,’ I mean Asian, black - I mean people of all colour. We need to have those voices given the opportunity, not told that their films will not be distributed or will not sell well abroad Picture Quote #1

I have always liked black and white! It is simple and the colour of the piano Picture Quote #1

Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black Picture Quote #1

Black is always elegant. It is the most complete colour in the whole world, made of all the colours in the palette Picture Quote #1

We have a black President in the United States. I think the world has matured. It’s no longer about colour, but the person in the skin Picture Quote #1

Describe snow to someone who’s lived in the desert. Depict the colour blue for a blind man. Almost impossible to fashion the word Picture Quote #1

I grew out my armpit hair for the summer. It turns out my natural hair colour isn’t blonde Picture Quote #1

I try to grasp the colour of my blood and all I feel is life slipping through the colourless veins Picture Quote #1

Why would anyone pick blue over pink? Pink is obviously a better colour Picture Quote #1

His blue eyes were very dark...Will’s were the colour of the sky just on the edge of the night Picture Quote #1

Having talent is like having blue eyes. You don’t admire a man for the colour of his eyes. I admire a man for what he does with his talent Picture Quote #1

Since we can produce all types of light by means of hot bodies, we can ascribe, to the radiation in thermal equilibrium with hot bodies, the temperature of these bodies, and thus every radiation, even that issuing from a phosphorescent body, has a certain temperature for every colour Picture Quote #1

When I hit 16, I got a scooter to ride to school. It was bright pink, and I saw on the ownership papers that Jonathan Ross once owned it. My friends slated me for it because of the colour, but it was cool. My father used to ride, and my mother’s boyfriend has a bike, so we’re a bit of a biker family Picture Quote #1

Not only do words infect, egotize, narcotize, and paralyze, but they enter into and colour the minutest cells of the brain. . . Picture Quote #1

The habit of breaking up one’s colour to make it brilliant dates from further back than Impressionism - Couture advocates it in a little book called ‘Causeries d’Atelier’ written about 1860 - it is part of the technique of Impressionism but used for quite a different reason Picture Quote #1

I have been to Canada several times. It was autumn when I visited Vancouver, and I will always remember the colour of the trees in British Columbia were stunning Picture Quote #1

You’ll get unsociable people whatever the nationality, colour, race or creed. I guess the British abroad have probably got the worst record of anyone Picture Quote #1
