The spectrum of being.

I'm not sure what it is people used to say about a person's true colours. Was it on a negative or positive note, I can't remember. All I can say is that this metaphorical sense is what runs in on our heads but we don't notice it. Things like, say a detective or psychopath story, there are nooks and crannies like an extraordinary ability of observation and you wonder how they can do it. Everyone can do it, it's just a matter of what you want and need to see. So generally speaking you can observe a room and see a tiny pin at the side of your eyes that looks out of place, but you just don't naturally, register it. I offer teaching techniques, but that's not what this is about.

I was struck with the idea of such human behaviour and did not plan to write it before a friend of mine told me to. It really didn't occur to me, because to be honest the reasons of curiosity was personal... In a way.

I was thinking over about a recent gathering I had with my friends, despite having a great time, it wasn't that that I was thinking or dwelling on about. it was in fact that aura of presence and their want to do things. Aura of presence isn't in the sense of a magical blue and orange glow, more of what they subconsciously presented themselves in at the day.

It is more of a literal perspective where I actually asked them what their favourite colour(s) is(are), it's not of that particular occasion, but the many times I have seen them from memory. I guessed majority of them off easily, and others, I thought I was wrong, and thought back I wasn't looking at the right subjects just yet. Let's just say, if I present them with a colour that's not their said favourite, they will hesitantly accept. Because, as much as they tell themselves it's not their colour, they know it is. I'm not one to judge I know, but it's who we are.

To think that long was just an explanation of this all. You wouldn't see a person in a mall with a red shirt and assume red is their colour, because chances are, it's not. (I lied, it probably is, above 60-40 chance).

Here's how I see it, you are what you eat right? You are also what you wear, show and tell.

I don't see this getting anywhere exact, so I'm going to try to write a structured one now. How does the literal spectrum compare to a person's true colour? If I can say bluntly, your preferred colour differs daily or weekly. You're in a mood to wear red today so you can wear the white dress tomorrow. On that differing basis, then the colour preference changes with a person's mood, situation, feeling and that particular other. Maybe weather factor too, but that's for psychologists to research.

On a temporary basis then, people differs right, adapts easily. On a long-shot perspective though it's different. It's like a long-term stock-marketer, he'd check his stocks every 2 years, while a daily stock-marketer checks his every hour. That's one, complicated too, way to look at it. Now what we're dealing with are the colours used, like a stock-marketer deal with the company stocks they follow. The richer, or say the ones who has the least risk are the ones who's got several companies to hold. Multiple foundations. A person with pretty colours have differing selves that make it easy for them to adapt to new environment and socialise. It's not always true. I cannot contradict nor side with this 'not always true' point, but that's what it is.

What I can say is that, whatever colour a person represent or favourite, I can assure you it's not their true self, sometimes it's just what they want to be. Bluntly I am into grey, blue and pink. They oppose one another, yet blue and pink is a match in other ways. Okay, that's what I see, you geniuses probably think not.  Point is that your colour isn't you. Many of the answers were blue, when I mean many, I mean many. Well one answered that their favourite colour was blue, but unconsciously they actually like grey. I know. That guy with the white? Yeah, his is red. Also that guy in black. His is black. Some unintentionally represent themselves as... Themselves. To be totally honest? I am clueless. Scientists study insects, water, space, but not ourselves. Our brains and organs yes, but not what makes us, us. Religion tells us and builds us, science explains to us, but we need that path to self-understanding and know who we really are. Different beings have different ways. Why are grasshoppers green and tigers black on orange?  Grasshoppers need camouflage to hide themselves, and Tigers can stand out all they want because they aren't afraid. Real men wear pink. We've all heard it right, I think that the basis as such phrase isn't that men should wear pink, despite pink being a men's colour back in Victorian Era. It's more like, the individuals that aren't afraid to be mocked about who they are, and what they do are ones who will survive this tough world. Or back to the grasshopper, ones who adapt themselves flexibly won't need to worry about major changes because they are used to blend in.


As a baby you are born with a blank mind. As you grow, the spectrum fills in. Some colours has more tendency than others. not colours literally, but barriers of being.
