Colour Quotes

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I’d see the summer garden in rainbow clouds Picture Quote #1

To plant and maintain a flower border, with a good scheme for colour, is by no means the easy thing that is commonly supposed Picture Quote #1

I sense a scream passing through nature. I painted... the clouds as actual blood. The colour shrieked Picture Quote #1

By convention sweet is sweet, by convention bitter is bitter, by convention hot is hot, by convention cold is cold, by convention colour is colour. But in reality there are atoms and the void. That is, the objects of sense are supposed to be real and it is customary to regard them as such, but in truth they are not. Only the atoms and the void are real Picture Quote #1

I figured out some basic stuff: that form and colour defines your perception of the nature of an object, whether or not it is intended to Picture Quote #1

Almost all words do have colour and nothing is more pleasant than to utter a pink word and see someone’s eyes light up and know it is a pink word for him or her too Picture Quote #1

I walk in the garden, I look at the flowers and shrubs and trees and discover in them an exquisiteness of contour, a vitality of edge, or a vigour of spring, as well as an infinite variety of colour that no artefact I have seen in the last sixty years can rival... each day, as I look, I wonder where my eyes were yesterday Picture Quote #1

I imagined that if the surface of the package imitated the colour and texture of the fruit skin, then the object would reproduce the feeling of the real skin Picture Quote #1

As your relationship with the music gets stronger, so does your motivation for playing it and finding different sounds. If you have the idea that you can find a colour that is better for one composer or another, even if it’s an illusion, this generates enormous pleasure Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I’m a woman or a man Picture Quote #1

I don’t want any colour to be noticeable... I don’t want it to operate in the modernist sense as colour, something independent... Full, saturated colours have an emotional significance I want to avoid Picture Quote #1

The aura given out by a person or object is as much a part of them as their flesh. The effect that they make in space is as bound up with them as might be their colour or smell... Therefore the painter must be as concerned with the air surrounding his subject as with the subject itself. It is through observation and perception of atmosphere that he can register the feeling that he wishes his painting to give out Picture Quote #1

The fundamental grey which differentiates the masters, expresses them and is the soul of all colour Picture Quote #1

The prejudice many photographers have against colour photography comes from not thinking of colour as form. You can say things with colour that can’t be said in black and white... Those who say that colour will eventually replace black and white are talking nonsense. The two do not compete with each other. They are different means to different ends Picture Quote #1

More than ever, I feel that the human race is one. There are differences of colour, language, culture and opportunities, but people’s feelings and reactions are alike. People flee wars to escape death, they migrate to improve their fortunes, they build new lives in foreign lands, they adapt to extreme hardship… Picture Quote #1

We get used to a certain kind of colour of form or format, and it’s acceptable. And to puncture that is sticking your neck out a bit. And then pretty soon, that’s very acceptable Picture Quote #1

My paintings are about light, about the way things look in their environment and especially about how things look painted. Form, colour and space are at the whim of reality, their discovery and organization is the assignment of the realist painter Picture Quote #1

People frequently ask me why I devote so much time to seeking out facts about man’s past…the past shows clearly that we all have a common origin and that our differences in race, colour and creed are only superficial Picture Quote #1

Having small touches of colour makes it more colourful than having the whole thing in colour Picture Quote #1

I think love is caramel. Sweet and fragant; always welcome. It is the gentle golden colour of a setting harvest sun; the warmth of a squeezed embrace; the easy melting of two souls into one and a taste that lingers even when everything else has melted away. Once tasted it is never forgotten Picture Quote #1

The colour grey makes you feel uneasy, makes things seem complicated and hopeless, it upsets the notion of black and white. Good and evil? There is no such thing. There is a little good and a evil, a little black and a little white. Grey is not an attractive colour, but perhaps it is the one that describes the world most accurately Picture Quote #1

Racism is a disease in society. We’re all equal. I don’t care what their colour is, or religion. Just as long as they’re human beings they’re my buddies Picture Quote #1

Know and watch your heart. It’s pure but emotions come to colour it. So let your mind be like a tightly woven net to catch emotions and feelings that come, and investigate them before you react Picture Quote #1

We are fighting so that insults may no longer rule our countries, martyred and scorned for centuries, so that our peoples may never more be exploited by imperialists not only by people with white skin, because we do not confuse exploitation or exploiters with the colour of men’s skins; we do not want any exploitation in our countries, not even by black people Picture Quote #1

One arranges flowers as the spirit moves you; to obey some inner prompting to put this colour with that, to have brilliance here, line there, a sense of opulence in this place or sparseness in that; to suit your surroundings, your mood, the weather, the occasion. In a word, to do as you please, just as, if you could, you might paint a picture Picture Quote #1

Red protects itself. No colour is as territorial. It stakes a claim, is on the alert against the spectrum 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

All sedentary workers... suffer from the itch, are a bad colour, and in poor condition... for when the body is not kept moving the blood becomes tainted, its waste matter lodges in the skin, and the condition of the whole body deteriorates Picture Quote #1

Colour can be the true main thing in art that is widely valued – even valued by the maker of the art – for other meanings Picture Quote #1

It is not necessary to have an extravagant food budget in order to serve things with variety and tastefully cooked. It is not necessary to have expensive food on the plates before they can enter the dining room as things of beauty in colour and texture. Food should be served with real care as to the colour and texture on the plates, as well as with imaginative taste. This is where artistic talent and aesthetic expression and fulfillment come in Picture Quote #1
