Color Research: One Page In Length On Your Favorite Color
3 Color Research
Write a paper of one page in length on your favorite color. You may need to simplify the shade, using pink as a research word instead of magenta or coral, in order to search a key word on-line. Start with a color. Find information about its origins, how the pigment is made, (i.e. What does the artist grind up to make this color?) and any research on its effect on us. Then find a work of art in which this color figures prominently and discuss why you think the artist chose that particular color and what it does to the viewer.

Many cultures would never consider dressing a bride in white. Offer your own opinions but also note the sites you used to find information for this paper.
