The Three Primary Colors

"Never paint except with the three primary colors [red, blue, and yellow] and their derivatives." Camille Pissarro One primary color can make me feel mellow when warm like honey heated up or like rays of a golden sun. It’s flax, saffron, blond, and canary yellow, cheerful like a daffodil and bumblebee fun. It’s bananas too and a well-buttered bun! The second and vivid primary color spells energy, boldness, passion and power. Cardinals make most other birds seem simply duller. A symbol of love, rose reigns as a fragrant red flower, while scarlet and crimson sunsets my eyes can devour. The loveliest for me of these three colors is the hue that melds with yellow, thus creating green. Some jewels, blooms and berries are naturally blue. Splendid is a dusk with the tint of an indigo sheen. Oh, cerulean sky above seawater shimmering aquamarine!
