Color is a fantastic way to express oneself. Even the absence of Color is still color and an expression. You feel good in your favorite color. Your eyes will always draw to color in a store. You are more than a normal person when you express yourself with color, you are fun and energetic.
All done! Really hope I win!
I love colour because it makes life more fun, and can brighten up even the dullest British weather!
I love color because it makes anything and everything more appealing to look at!
because colour makes people smile. colour celebrates life.
Color is the one way we can express ourselves and stand out from the rest and have fun with everything around us!
I love colour cause it makes anything look happy and bright! I dress alot in black, but I always spruce it up with a random colour accent: neon pink ballet flats, “Airborne Unicorn” lipstick, bright yellow hairbow…
Color is the spice of life. I was actually thinking last night how what if color didn’t exist..like..how at night it’s so dark we can’t really see color because there is no light to make it visible..and that would be terrible if it was like that all the time!
Color is such an emotional thing. It can spark feelings of joy if it’s bright and vibrant like a lime green or sunny yellow. It can evoke feelings of sadness if it’s a teardrop blue or a sullen grey. There are endless possibilities.
The bottom line..I love it and can’t live without it! :)
I love color because it makes me feel happy. There’s something about a rainbow that just GETS me, y’know? Plus they’re all so pretty…
Colour is just the bee’s knees! I love wearing one super bright accessory when the rest of my outfit is dark. I love having just that one thing that POPS with crazy brightness and that is really unexpected. I love bright lipsticks, bright shoes, a bright under shirt that peeks through. I love bright colours because they make me feel crazy happy! Every different colour will remind me of different happy thoughts and feelings, and I love that! :)
Color is a really easy way to express yourself! For example, if you’re stuck wearing a uniform to school, it’s easy to throw on some bright blue eyeliner and be yourself. Besides, color brings happiness to the world.
Colors are my life, when you go out you only see people dressed in black and white… it’s like an old movie…
Colors are a way to express my mood, so i put a lot of colors, because i’m happy ! and when people saw me, they joke, they think i’m crazy, and some people laught and become happy too, just because they see a colorful girl !
Colors make me happy, and if i make people happy thanks to that, i’m a color super hero in devenir ! :D
I love color because it makes everything so much less boring! It adds a kick to your day especially when you see it on someones face!!
It is a great way to express yourself to the world!
I love color because there is no limit how or where it can be used. I like to use color in my home, my wardrobe and even when it comes to my pets. My daughters and I like to add colorful bright stickers to their pet cages, we use bright colored tack on our horses, with lots of colored rhinestones! Why limit color to your wardrobe, spread it every where!
I love colour becauseee it’s the only true way to brighten up an outfit, to stand out and make yourself and other people happy :)
Color is happiness and beauty. Chosing the right color to wear can totally change your day, and there’s nothing as empowering as knowing you’re wearing green eyeshadow and totally rockin’ it! :D
I love colour, because life IS colour. Colour is what keeps our hearts alive. Without it, our world would be grey, and so would we. Bright hues are a smile, helium balloons, the sun, harajuku girls. Colour scopes everything imaginable.
I love color because it makes me very happy! Even my hair is pink!
I just LOVE color ’cause is so inspiring!!
It says everything about EVERYTHING. Mood, taste, personality.
And is just beutiful to be able to use color to express something.
I love color because it’s such a good way to stand out and make a statement. Wearing color is like living in a world that got colored by 1st graders, when they color anything they want a strange color just because they can
I love color because it’s the way life offers us a way to see things differently and to express ourselves. For me color is THE synonym of LIFE! =D
I love color because the world is not meant to be seen in black and white!
The winner will be announced on my birthday! I love color because it’s a vibration of light and by changing what colors are around you it can affect your mood and style!
I don’t have Facebook, Doe, & I don’t want one. Which sucks because I love colour. Colours are what allow me to be different to everybody else when I’m upset and feel stuck in a boring world. When I cycle to school in the mornings, I see gray clouds, bleak skies, dull coats of people in front of me. Dull clouds, dull skies, dull coats, dull people.
I’ve never wanted to be dull.

If you want, try to look for the blue skies, or the sun set :) life can be dull, but mother nature surely isn’t :)
color=amor
I love color because when I was a child, all I had to wear were my brother’s hand me downs. Boring dark blue pants, boring T-shirts. Boring everything.
Then, I remember the one day I got my own set of clothes. It was nothing really. It was a bright green t-shirt and a pale pink skirt/ankle pants. They were both so colorful and at the age of 8 with my knee length hair I wore that outfit everywhere. That outfit gave me the courage to ask my mother to get me more bright shirts and pants like my pink ones. And she did. I didn’t have many, but what I did have I wore like a champ.
So, color to me is freedom. That freedom to be bright made me happy and lively. I don’t own that pair of pants anymore, but i have plenty of bright shirts and undies that make me feel free and happy.
So, I love color because color is freedom. Pure, beautiful freedom.

That’s cool that you remember that! I remember when I was sooo little, I had my favourite gold glittery sandals. :)
I wear a black uniform at work, and love to offset it with colorful makeup and nails…
It’s so easy to live in the dark and to hide behind muted shades and be acceptable to the rest of the world. But it takes courage and bravery to live in colour, and to show all the world how you feel with it. That’s why i love colour, it expresses everything that I can’t say. And well, shocking people is fun.
i love colour because it is just an amazing thing, it makes peaple happy, and it makes me happy, i dont understand my classmates when they wear all black, its just so boring. but, i think color can be a little tricky, you dont just want to throw on bright pink pants and a sun yellow tee, you have to think a little more about it, what color combinations hat look cool, but also what suit your skintone.
the last thing i love about colour has to be rainbows, they just always spread glee, its fabolous.
(Done and done!) Color is expression! Simple as that. You can change the mood of a room, simply by walking into it with a certain color on. It’s a good thing. :)
I love color for many reasons. We are all different colors in the world. Color can make me happy and can make me sad. Colors and my mood go hand in hand. The world would be very bored if everything was black and white. I express my feelings and love through color.
Because people are afraid of color in this cubic gray world. and you remind me of this movie an old high school friend of mine did: http://www.otorofilms.com/films/luci/movie.html
Because there is no such thing as too much color :)
i love color cause it is the best way to express myself. color your life and you will be happy all the way. stop wearing boring nude looks and pull off your bright colors….
I love color because it’s the base of happiness , when you live with colors , all is right , all is beautiful .
I love color because it makes everything more fun and interesting! I really love bright colored makeup because it makes any Lolita coord really pop!
I love color because so many people are afraid of it. I love wearing bright red lipstick when no one else will dare to try it out. I loooove wearing rainbow eyeshadow and getting so many “OMG HOW DID YOU DO THAT”‘s.
I hope I win your wonderful pack of goodies!
Love and turtledoves,
Jacqueline
I love color because there is so much of it in this world; I’ll never get enough!
Color makes me happy. I love mixing different bold colors in my outfits. Even when it was trendy to wear all back I wore lots and lots of color!
i love color because there the basic too to match you to your… well everything. they help show the inside you, wether it’s bubblely, clam, or wild.

opps/ too=tools. i really needa learn to double check before i post :)
Color is emotion. I can use it to reflect my mood or change it. I don’t know if anything is as powerful as color. It simply just makes life interesting :)
I love color because it adds a breath of life to my generally black wardrobe.
It also makes me feel happy.
I love color because its a major part of why the world is beautiful. If color were unecessary we’d see in black and white. How many times have we all enjoyed watching the leaves on the trees change color? Color signifies so much in our lives that we take for granted. The changing times, seasons, personalities, etc.
I love colour because it evokes so many different reactions in so many different ways – not merely feelings, but memories too! You might see a bright orange jacket, and remember a lollypop you and a loved one shared in the winter winds on a beach, or see a blue pair of shoes and remember that you need to buy toilet cleaner – daft, but true! Colours are almost a sensory pleasure, both invigorating for your eyes and delicious for your heart and mind! It makes me envy those people who are able to taste colours; because I can only imagine how different and spectacular they taste together or apart!
I love color because it makes me happy! I’m super fair and my face is my canvas for new cosmetics…it’s just fun! Look at all the beautiful colors around us every day. What an inspiration! Thanks :)
Color is Life. Without color, the world would be dull, boring, and lifeless. Colors dancing around in springtime play games with your eyes. Color brings me joy, and happiness. Its even better when you can see how the bright colorful makeup that i wear brings joy to the people that see me! I LOVE COLOR!
I was an exchange student in France a couple of years ago, and in France everybody wears black. Or gray, or brown. That’s it. At least it felt like it.
But I never did that. I was that little spot of colour in a black and white world. And it made me and a lot of other people happy. People were always telling me how wonderful they thought it was that I was wearing green and yellow and red and all these bold colours and patterns.
I believe colours make people happy and that we need some colour every day. :)
Color = happiness!
I love color because it allows me to be a different person everyday
i love colour because it can totally change your mood or vibe…. it’s an instant attitude adjustment & spreads the love.
Simple answer… Why do I love color? —-> it brightens my cloudiest days…nothing can lift up your spirits like color… :)
I love color because it is so powerful in an image. I have been dabbling in photography for over six years and the most eye-catching part of a photo is not depth of field, composition, or subject matter–it is color. And now that I’m exploring other arts (printmaking and painting) color has become even more important because I have to mix my own. If the tone of a color is shifted only slightly, the entire mood of a painting can be drastically changed.

I am a photographer as well and I definitely agree about color being one of the most important aspects. I love to mess around in lightroom with colors..they definitely can change the mood.
