Rose Color Meanings
Giving roses as gifts are a Valentine’s Day tradition.
Here is a list of some of the meanings of rose colors.
RED True love, Passion, Love, Respect, Romance, Congratulations
Red roses are very traditional. They represent love and passion. They are a very eloquent gift of congratulations. A single red rose means ‘I love you’ or a person has very strong feeling for another. They communicate everlasting love.
Give a Red Rose to show true love, passion or the highest congratulations.
BLUE Mystery, Impossible, Unattainable
Blue Roses are not naturally found therefore they represent the imaginary or fantasy. Blue is the color of the sky and water. Reach for the sky for an impossible relationship or the depths of the ocean with a vastly deep one. Much thought goes into a blue rose.
Give a Blue Rose to a seemingly unattainable or complex crush.
WHITE Eternal love, Innocence, Virtue, Purity, Worthiness, Happy Love
White Roses represent innocence and purity, like an angel. Brides carry white roses to express their worthiness of pure heart and everlasting love. White represents the innocence of a new relationship.
Give a White Rose to show appreciation of pure intentions.
YELLOW Friendship, Apology, Caring, Happness
Yellow expresses happiness and joy. A new start – therefore great for an apology. Shows friendship and makes a nice ‘thank you’ flower. Coveys warmth, joy and frienship.
Give a Yellow Rose to express friendship or to celebrate a happy new event.
PINK Gratitude, Gentleness, Youth, Sweetness, Romance
Pink blush of a young girl’s cheeks, the softness of the rose petal itself is how we perceive the pink rose. Pink is a romantic color with less intensity than red. A sweet and gentle love. A pink rose is also a graceful way of saying ‘thank you’.
Give a Pink Rose to convey a message of a sweet or romantic love.
PURPLE Love at First Sight, Enchantment, Magical, beautiful
The purple rose represents love at first sight. The giver of this rose has fallen quickly in love and is very enchanted with this new person. The feelings are very magical. Purple roses include the color lavender. Also, to show a person you think they are beautiful.
Give a Purple Rose to express that you believe in love at first sight.
BLACK Death, Farewell, Rejuvenation or Regrowth
The color black is sometimes misunderstood. Black roses are associated with death. Death does not always mean the physical death of a being. Mos of the time it means the end of something. At the end of the night there is always a bright new dawn.
Give a Black Rose to symbolize the ending of something.
ORANGE Desire, Fascination, Enthusiasm
Orange is a mixture between the yellow friendship and passion of red. Orange roses express the enthusiasm and fascination of a new, blooming relationship. Desire to take the warmth of orange to the next level of red hot fire.
Give an Orange Rose to show your fascination and desire about the relationship.

Tangerine Tango is the color of 2012, according to the Pantone Color Institute
Pantone states that” Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward. It’s warm, uplifting, and energizing, and it happens to look great with almost every skin tone. ”
About the PANTONE Color of the Year
The color of the year selection is a very thoughtful process. To arrive at the selection, Pantone quite literally combs the world looking for color influences. This can include the entertainment industry and films that are in production, traveling art collections, hot new artists, popular travel destinations and other socio-economic conditions. Influences may also stem from technology, availability of new textures and effects that impact color, and even upcoming sports events that capture worldwide attention.
For more than a decade, Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home and industrial design, as well as product packaging and graphic design.

Red & Green Deviled Eggs – really quick
| RED & GREEN DEVILED EGGS Really Quick and Easy. |
|
|---|---|
 First I start with peeled hard boiled eggs. You can buy them already boiled and peeled in the grocery store. I tried this but the eggs seem to be a little less rubbery when boiled yourself. |
 Cut the eggs in halves and put yolks in a bowl |
 |
 Put the egg halves into the colored water.I did not measure any of the color. I used food coloring, cold water and a little vinegar in a bowl. |
 While the eggs are soaking in color, Mix up your filling. I’m in Texas so these are a few of the base ingredients I use. Again, I didn’t measure anything.You can add whatever you like to the egg yolks to make it taste good. Be careful about making the mixture too wet. |
 About the time my filling was ready so were the color on the egg whites. I fished them out with a spoon and placed them bottom side up on a few paper towels. After they dried a bit I put them on a plate and filled them.It is best to use an actual deviled egg plate – I could not find mine. After only 20 minutes in the fridge, the places where the red and green sides touched the color transfered and made a dark mark. Sooo…Thats all there is too it. |

Why are Rainbows Colored?

Why are Rainbows Colored?
Why are rainbows colored?
How is a rainbow formed?
The mechanics of rainbows have been studied since ancient times. The Greek philosophers were aware of the role of reflection in forming a rainbow, and had some understanding of the role of refraction. In the 13th century, scientists produced theories on rainbow formation, and in the 17th century, Rene Descartes sketched out the conditions required to observe a rainbow.
We see rainbows because of the geometry of raindrops. When the sun shines from behind us into the rain, incident rays of light enter the drop and are refracted inwards. They are reflected from the back surface of the raindrop, and refracted again as they exit the raindrop and return to our eyes. Refraction is responsible for splitting the sunlight into its component colors.
What do the colors of your flag mean?
We see Flags flying everywhere and everyday.
Have you ever wondered what the colors of the flags represent?
Black -Black often represents determination, ethnic heritage, and/or defeating one’s enemies.
Blue – Blue often represents freedom, vigilance, perseverance, justice, prosperity, peace, and/or patriotism.
Green – Green can symbolize the Earth, agriculture, fertility, and/or the Muslim religion.
Red – Red often represents courage, revolution, hardiness, blood, and/or valor.
Yellow – Yellow often represents the sun, wealth, and/or justice

Color Meditation
Color Meditation:
Begin by getting comfortable and doing breathing exercises or whatever you do to clear your mind and calm yourself.
Breathe in and fill yourself with each breath with a specific color of the spectrum, visualizing it as brighter and brighter each time (not lighter; by brighter, I mean more intense)
Fill your mind with these colors as you breathe:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo (bluish-purple) and violet.
Go through these colors at whatever pace feels comfortable to you.
Play relaxing music to let you mind float into color meditation.

Peach – Use peach if you are a single woman seeking a good husband. Use peach in abundance in your unmarried daughter’s bedroom so she will marry well.

It represents fame, fortune, joy, festivity, longevity, summer, and passion. Tie two red cords or ribbons inside your bedroom on the doorknob if you would like to attract a serious partner. Too much red in a bedroom will disturb rest. If your front entrance faces S, plant red flowers in the ground or in pots on both sides. This provides protection to your family.
