| 4 Dramatic Color: Purple |
* Is there any woman in your surroundings who recently began to wear purple? If she looks perfect in that color, I think you can be sure that she is undergoing some dramatic changes in her mind.* She may not show any other signs of dramatic change, but in her mind, she is experiencing a raging storm, as violent as a powerful typhoon. Her purple clothing indicates her changeable state of mind, since purple is an extraordinary color suggesting dramatic and serious mental readjustment. * If you desire to wear purple, you must be spiritually matured and have sufficient mental strength; otherwise the color will be overpowering. Although purple is not a strong color, it is highly sophisticated and demanding. * Purple, signifying high self-pride and a deep feeling of solitude, belongs to the adult world. I once asked enthusiastic child fans of Sanfrecce Hiroshima, a professional soccer team identified by its purple uniforms, what was their favorite color, and they all shouted "purple," the team color. Yet, the favorite colors of those children soon changed. I assume that they were too young to understand the mysterious ambiguousness unique to this color. |
| Is It a Noble Color or an Indecent Color? |
* Since purple conveys an unstable state of mind and inner anxiety, you must be very careful about wearing purple. It is the most complex color, featuring ambiguous and contradictory images: sometimes it is admired as the most noble color; at other times it is considered indecent. Purple evokes various feelings. If you seriously analyze whether or not purple suits you, you are likely to discover something in your mind that you were not previously aware of. |
