Please pardon the gaps...

The site is in mid-migration now (manual migration of over 7,000 entries, so there's a lot to be done.) The entry stubs are created for older content, but for the most part, the actual content isn't there quite yet. I am working on it. Unfortunately I have no ETA. But feel free to link to any page! When the content does get populated, the URL will stay the same.

What colors do you “see” for these qualities?

Running an utterly informal poll here…when you think of the following qualities or concepts, what color or colors do you “see”? Don't worry if they match, or if they sound like what everyone else might say. Just list the color or colors you see, in your mind's eye, for these qualities:

  • Anger
  • Change
  • Charm
  • Compassion
  • Confidence
  • Confusion
  • Courage
  • Creativity
  • Defeat
  • Depression
  • Devotion
  • Discipline
  • Doubt
  • Excitement
  • Fear
  • Forgiveness
  • Grief
  • Harmony
  • Honor
  • Inspiration
  • Integrity
  • Intelligence
  • Jealousy
  • Liberation
  • Pain
  • Perfection
  • Pleasure
  • Power
  • Protection
  • Resignation
  • Sensuality
  • Urgency
  • Whimsy
  • Wisdom

Leave a comment listing the color(s) you see for any or all of these qualities. If you'd like, leave a note why you drew that association. For example, for "pain" I see deep vivid blue - for two reasons. One, when I'm in severe pain, my vision seems to have a blue wash over everything. For another, in the show Babylon 5, there's a line a character says, "the deep blue of pain", that's always resonated with me. It's poetic.

I'm interested to hear what people have to say!!
