Two Sides of Color

Who doesn't love a clear blue sky
But if you're blue, then you're sad
A blood red sun can bring a smile
But if you see red then you're mad

In the green means you have money
Green with envy wants that of another
Purple might mean that you are royalty
But a purple face means you smother

A yellow cab can take you on home
If you are yellow then you are scared
If you're in the pink then you feel great
Get pink eye and bad habits are bared

Some things seem shiny and bright
Consider that they might be duller 
If you happen to see the flip side
It might be a horse of another color
