Blue Wins Out As The Most Popular Color Crayon and Colored Pencil

I liked the pictures in the article. Especially the lizard with a bite on the pencil.

Yes-- that was a really cool photo!

Why don't you add a poll if it's not too late?

Actually that's a great idea-- I hadn't thought of it!

Oh-- I just realized-- this is a seed and not an original article-- you can't put polls on seeds. (It would be interesting to write an article about it, but I don't do articles, only seeds-- so I guess people can mention their favourite colour in the comments instead.)

Thanks for the link...very interesting stuff!

so I guess people can mention their favourite colour in the comments instead.)

It would be interesting to see what peoples' favourite colours are. Also-- why (if they do have a reason).

I've always liked green but didn't know why as a toddler. Now I know that it represents growth.

Yes, in many spiritual approaches green represents growth. Also abundance (money)-- and in some systems it, along with pink, are considered to be heart colours. Also associated with calm and balanced emotions.

In TCM ("traditional Chinese medicine') it is the Wood element, which is associated with the TCM organ of the liver.

(Each organ has an associated emotion-- for the Liveer its anger. And, since things in the east are often associated by polarities (i.e. opposites are not considered to be different) it therefore addresses , of course, not only issues of anger-- but also of th opposite-- which I suppose might be calm and tranquility.

What's your favorite color, Krishna? Maybe I overlooked it...no, I didn't see you mentioning it.

I actually don't have any single one-- it varies over time. (perhaps not surprising since one of the dominent energies in my astrological chart is Gemini-- and you know how they are! :-)

No, I don't know how Geminis are.

Gemini is a "double sign" ("The Twins"--Castor and Pollux)-- so people say that Geminis like to have two of everything.

Actually tends to be true in many cases, although what I have found is that actually it would be more accurate to say that they like to have two or more of things!

Geminis like variety...

.I'm sure your chakras are wide-open but balanced...most of the time. ;-)

Most of the time. I find that spending long periods of time on NV-- particularly in political discussions-- changes that...

Gemini...Ok.

Gemini persons tend to be restless, intellectual folks. They are mental people by nature, and have a dynamic spirit that is intellectually impressionable and inspired by pure ideas. This dynamism allows them to default to a more positive mental state. They are able to, and enjoy synthesizing bits of information to get a good idea of what's going on. This may however come at the expense of deeper understanding of things or verifying their integrity all the way through.

LOL.

Interestingly, Virgos are also often quite "mental". However, its a different energy. Virgos often tend to be very analytical. They gather information, and then analyze it. By comparison, Geminis tend to just "collect information".

In the 'real world' this often manifests as Gemijnis constantly gathering information-- but often not doing much with it. (Although they may mention it in a conversation much later on). Its sort of like a bee gathering pollen-- the flit from flower to flower...(Virgos often find thuis annoying...they like to stick with some piece of infio for a bit lionger..analyze it , etc).

Virgos find a piece of information and analyze, and they do usually look for deeper significance...

(Although they are both somewhat mental, they are not very compatable...their aspect is the "square"-- not really harmonious-- by elements, earth and air, not harmonious).

Well, be that way. I still like you.

Well, I did mention that I have a lot of Gemini energy in my chart. But what I didn't mention is that I also have a lot of Virgo energy as well! (Actually, I have 4 planets in Virgo-- that's a lot).

I think we're compatible in that we like info. It's not as if I'm asking to marry you. :-)

Durn! Another of my advances spurned..Oh well :-(

You're so funny!

No I'm not, actually-- its all done with mirrors!

Geminis should wear yellow.

Actually, my feeling is that geminis like many colours and preferences shift.

However (since we were speaking of traditional associations-- yellow is often associated with the mind, mental activity, etc.

In the Tarot card the Magician, which is about (among other things) using mental powers to manifest results in the physical world, one of the colours is yellow-- the conscious mind. And red and white also have profound symbolism in the creative process-- the "mental alchemy' as it were-- all related to the Kabbalah, Astrology, and other metaphysical systems as well (but "you don't have to know that.")

This is seriously bad news for us pink lovers!

Well, I beleieve Crayola does still make pink crayons, so you can still get one when you need it!

I blame Avatar!

OMG-- yet more blue!

I guess its true..what it said about blue!

OTOH-- things aren't looking good for blue tits!

Thanks-- interesting!

I've heard about the association with peace and tranquilty.

And there was a recent seed about people in parts of the South painting their porches blue I believe?

Apparently there is a slightly different energy to dark blues (like navy-- and that is often associated with authority figures, such as police.

In astrology, blue in general is often associated with Pisces...and interestingly with Taurus. Dark blue is often associated with Sagittarius.

Both Pisces and Sag often like Purple as well.. but that's another topic...a "horse of another colour" as it were! :-)

P.S. Speaking of associations... horses and dogs are often associated with Sag-- and of course cats with Leo.

oh, I like purple too! By maybe I'm not suppose too, considering that I'm a Virgo. Sad!

You have a strongly aspected Neptune in your natal chart ("horoscope"). This would tend to give you Piscean energy at times. (might make you like a Pisces at times-- very intuitive-- possibly sometimes slightly psychic--perhaps spiritual)

Actually, I think that goes for most signs. All signs like some sort of variety in their lives.

true-- but more so for Geminis.

And less so for fixed signs like Taurus.

-labels don't do anything except stereotype and separate us.

Depends on how you use them...

I guess you could consider them a form of "generalization". Making generalizations can inhibit critical thinking and accurate thinking, but if used properly it can be OK-- even helpful.

What I always find amazing is that you seed so many great articles , but you rarely include yourself in them, such as coming up with a favorite color-- at least for today.

I am being perfectly honest about my colour preferences-- I like different ones at different times.

In terms of other personal data, I do not reveal too much as there are a few ( a really small number, but still) really, really nasty weirdos here...
