Black is serious, black has authority. Black is scary.
Patriarchal religions
Yet, more anciently, black is the most feminine of colors. It is the color of earth, of potential, of fertility, of matter. Black is the color of gravity. Sorrow. The color of the earth that receives us in death. The still point. The void. Deep space.
Black holes

Deep, black, unsolvable mystery….the depths
Black is Matter. The word matter comes from “mater” –“mother”.
The Great Mother presides not only over fertility, but over life and death.

Folk traditions all over the world honor black, not only as mourning
but as the ground-color, the field of potential from which all things emerge. Often, folk art represents the black ground out of and upon which the dance of creation takes place

“Blue!—ethereal blue—here where the prairie ends the sky begins, no less than there on the ultimate peak of the mountains…” -Maynard Dixon, painter

Blue is air, is distance, is the far away, is heaven…
And water that reflects the sky

Lincoln said “Mom, are you gonna make a Brown page and show a picture of poop?”
I primly replied, “I will mention poop, but I will leave it to the imagination.”
Classy dame that I am.
Brown is one of my favorite colors. I love love love brown. I love earth, I love dirt and the smell of dirt, I love to stick my face right down in a freshly dug hole and breathe it in.
I love tree trunks and animal eyes.

Brown is burly and manly. It lives in the rough and soft and smooth outer coat of things. It’s comforting the way a man is comforting, or a tree is comforting or a big warm animal is comforting. It’s big. As big as Earth.
Oh wise and cheerful yellow!

Yellow is mostly the color of Light. You have to add yellow to your white when you’re illuminating anything in a painting, even if the light looks white. The yellow is what makes it Light. That’s why yellow is the color of cheer and of wisdom. They are Light.
