Primary Colours

RED is the Colour of…

Tomatoes and Strawberries, Raspberries and Red Peppers. The Red Flag and Stop signs. The Red Cross and the Red Arrows. Seeing red and anger and danger and Emergency Stop Buttons. The Red Sea and the Red River Valley. Red Admirals, Simply Red and Ninety-nine Red Balloons

Yellow is the Colour of…

my true love’s hair, and Mellow Yellow, and Coldplay’s Yellow. The Yellow River and Yellowstone. Lemons, Marzipan and Egg Yolks. Radiation Warning Signs. Primroses, Daffodils and the Yellow Rose of Texas. Turmeric and I’m just mad about Saffron.

Blue is the Colour of …

Blue skies, blue sky thinking, and Mr Blue Sky. Blueberries, Blue birds and Bluebells. The Blue Planet and Blue Whales. The Blue Danube and Blue Monday. Oxford Blues, Sing the Blues. Blue Bayou and Blue Moon. Forget-me-nots?


This post was prompted by the Lens-Artist Challenge #264 on Primary Colours. Many thanks to Sofia for setting up this challenge and introducing it with a great post with her various takes on primary colours.

You can easily access Sofia’s post HERE and perhaps you would like to join in with the challenge too.

  1. Oh how I loved the way you put this together and made us think even more about the primary colors. That caterpillar, the biker, the yellow/black glass, and the blues..all favorites.
