International Colour Day
Every year on March 21st, International Colour Day celebrates all aspects of colour and the impact it has on our lives. The day also encourages people to consider how colour makes our world a better place.
Colour has played a vital role in our culture from the very beginning of time. People have experimented with various colors for writing, drawing, and expressing themselves for centuries. Red ochre is one of the oldest known pigments. This pigment was discovered in a prehistoric cave painting. The pigment was created by iron-rich soil. Artists used animal fat, burned charcoal, and chalk to produce different shades of color as far back as 40,000 years ago. Brown, yellow, black, black, and white were among the many colors created during this time, as well as red, yellow, black, and white.
People have been able to produce millions of different colors since that time. Humans are capable of seeing ten million different hues, according to some scientists. However, some people believe there are much more shades than that. This is because of the various shades of light that affect colour. According to One colour expert, there are actually 18 decillion shades. It is the number 18 followed by 33 zeroes if you are not sure how many it is. That is a lot of colors for our viewing pleasure!
