I just found you through Jan at Awake is Good, and I'm so glad I did!<br /><br />I also recently read something about all the color in the ancient world.

I color on and off all day!<br /><br />And you are right. We do "love our colors whose borders stretch to hold a wide variety of meaning." How beautifully you express this!<br /><br />I've often wondered at why we are repelled by certain colors, or have preferences for more or less saturated colors. This prompts me to post a new blog. Of course, first I have to write it!

I guess the Greeks were no different.<br /><br />In East Indian culture, we can be all shades of brown from the most pale and fair to the darkest hue of brown, almost black. So many prefer the lighter version. Though I try to rise above this labeling, even I get sucked into the idea of what is aesthetically pleasing.<br /><br />May we love our colors, but learn that their borders can stretch to hold a wide variety of meaning.<br /><br />On a less serious note, I love to color with my daughter and her box of Crayola 64 crayons. We are certainly lucky to have access to all colors!mermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895749686844178804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252982353431030029.post-61468145123757901622009-05-05T20:43:00.000-04:002009-05-05T20:43:00.000-04:00Jan, so many thanks for your sisterhood award.

I missed it unfortunately but have had an interest in that period of history since freshman year in high school. Like most everyone else, I had no idea they lived with so much color. Don't you just love finding out interesting tidbits?
