It is said that colors have special meanings. It may differ from one person to another but they hold some relevance. I have always thought of "blue" as peaceful and radiant, "yellow" as exciting and active, "green" as productive and full of life, "red" as romantic, "white" as kind and pure, and "black" as sophisticated and liberal. On the other hand, "yellow" could mean jealousy, "red" could mean heartbreak and a lot more possible perceptions you may find in colors. Colors tell us more than just being colors. What color would you paint your life?

How can we paint our life?Well i like green very much so i prefer green all around me.Living with in city really spoils the greenery in our life.There no green thing visible.So i really miss those days when we will be in our native place far away from my city.Its a very beautiful village with lots and lots of greenery.There i will be very much related to nature rather than technology and tradition.From the fodd we eat to the bed we sleep really has got the green as an attribute.Also my visit to native place will be always during vaccation, which will be a rainy season.So nature will color herself with green.So as far as i am concerned green is the color that i would like to paint my life.Green is nature. As pristine_eyes: Blue really is the color of peaceful and radiant.Its because blue represents sky which is always at peace,though there will be planes and chopper but otherwise its quite.Yellow is exciting and active,its because it represents sun which is bright and active throughout.Green as i said earlier its nature,thats why is productive and full of life.Any thing very much green is full of life in nature.Well as far as red is concerned i don't have any comments.It may be because i am not a romantic person.White is pure because it represents milk which will be pure but for some milkmen who adds water.Black is sophisticated and liberal because it represents strength and absorbs. So as far as i am concerned green and blue are the apt one to color your life.

It is a very interesting discussion.I would love to paint my life n BLUE...As You know these days there's a lot of hatred and pain in life.I always think of blue as a smooth , calm , relax , peaceful color. Mainly cause it is a color of sea the ocean which is so deep has so many things inside it but stays still calm.So i want my life to be like that under the influence of blue color As me myself is very Hyper and aggressive ,So i think may be it will help me a bit cause now I am kind of tired of my personality.Right now i think My life is RED.

All colors otherwise my life would be boring. I like almost all color. But I think I like red the most and I dont know the reason. Maybe it just fits my character. I'm not really brave though or maybe I just want to be brave:P

Blue is my favourite colour...not any old blue, but the blue greens of the water in sunny destinations...it is mysterious :-) because it changes colours all the time :-) depending on what way the sun hits it!

I have always been very attracted to the color blue. I have been told that I look great in yellow. I tend to buy variations of yellow and orange for my shirts and black for my pants. I would have to say that my life has been very green - full of energy, flexibility, newness, and new beginnings.

I would paint my life with the BIG BLUE SKY color with some white clouds decorating the sky. I feel so free, so relax under the blue sky. I wish our life is as simple as easy as natural as the SKY color. No money issue, no office politics, no steoreotyping, just as simple as natural as it is.

well i would paint my life with a little of every color. because i would not like my life to be very accurate or too constant. ups and downs teach you a lot of things. i would paint it a lot of white, i would give black its due space too. i would put blue in the inner background with green and red as the primary colors. and all colors would rotate and exchange their places with a particular situation.

At first place, I would'nt paint my life. I think the happiness, joy, sadness or any feeling is in the eyes of the seeing person. In the other hand, sometimes colors actualy mean a lot! And a colorfull painting means a happy painting! But I end up saying that the beauty is in your life, so if you think colors make a diference, use them! A lot! Be a happy person, and the most important thing, always smile! Even if its a yellow one! lol

pink. I think pink is a positive color and I am a positive person. If I really got to choose I would choose to pick on the spur of the moment to go with my current mood.

The color I want to paint my life is red, which bringing people vigor and hospitality. But it's just the quality I wanna to have,in fact, white is more similar to what my life go through, peace and quiet.

I would paint my life blue. That color always makes me feel so calm and centered. I have my bedroom painted blue and it seems to help relax me at bedtime.
