It’s a stronger and stronger realization to me how colour is like e.g human beings. Nothing exists without context. You might say that Bahktin could have philosophied about the world of colour as well as communication and thought.
No one colour is anything to us unless it brought its friends along, and depending on which friends we will form an opinion of the colour.
If you understand the psychology of colours it is within your powers to create a Utopia or even a Dystopia if the fancy takes you, which it has many.
I wonder if the same motives have moved people within art as within society.
