"Hanunoo"

I think this article invokes some rather curious ideas in using the words “chromophobia” and “chromophillic” to describe man’s relation to color. They also serve to give the idea of color, as a whole a certain weight, something we should be tentative of because it is something we are so profusely involved with, that it suggests a relationship which exceeds that of an obsession. Color is indeed a very intricate and complex part of ourselves and the world around us and the article references that intimacy in a number of ways. Color has the ability to make us feel, change our ideals or opinions. In any given situation, color can dictate a number of reactions or cause the circumstance to pivot to a decline or an incline. Conversely, we can use color to do all of these things, and create our own narratives. Regarding color being a living and breathing thing, I could not agree more. Color in and of itself is indeed full of living things and is capable of expressing an exponential number of concepts. Furthermore, it lives on life itself. If color did not posses the ability to convey, it would still ornament all things that do actively and tangibly convey (Humans, Animals, plants, etc.).
