Thoughts on Color

Today was the finale of the Colorado Classic Bike Race.  

Luckily, the track went around the corner of my studio on Walnut Street so when I heard the whistle and sirens of the approaching racers, I could step outside and watch them.  After 7 laps, four of the riders broke away from the pack and at the end, Travis McCabe from the United Healthcare team won the sprint. 

But as I was watching the race, I was again reminded that bike racers race in teams and those teams are denoted by the color of their jerseys.  So, watching the peloton (the pack) race by, I could easily pick out which team was in the front or lagging at the back.  It made the race much more interesting to watch even though they raced by in a blur. 

Color has a very large effect in our lives, our emotions, and our perceptions.  Watching this race just made me think more about this topic.  

I know I love to wear jewel colors because they make me happy.  How does color affect you?
