What is colour? In this article, the author deals with this question, describing colour from various points of view. He discusses the perception of colours in the past and the present, the influence of colours on the human mind. Colours have the potential to change our mood, to energise us, and, as is now clinically proven, to treat many physiological disorders and the mind, too. Colours can open – as well as take away – your appetite. They attract or repel insects. They can disorient you, reduce your ability to perceive space. They are a means of self-expression.
