Colors

I am annoyed that you can only wear certain colors at certain times. I feel like I cannot wear red and green unless its around Christmas time. This annoys me. I want to wear red and green more than one little season. It is not fair that Christmas claimed those colors. It makes me bitter towards the season of giving.
Currently, its a few days after St. Patty's day. I have a green coat. Now it feels a little awkward to wear because people just think in their heads that I'm a little late on wearing it. And, omg, I just realized that on March 18th everyone probably thought I was a huge sl*t because you always think that when you see a girl walking in the afternoon with something that she should have been wearing last night.
Of course I wore the coat on March 17th and of course someone said something. "Oooh! so festive!!" I just want to get decked out in green when its not St. Pattys day. I just want to wear red, white, and blue without having too much pride. I just want to wear orange and black when its not Halloween. LoL I don't really care about those two colors together. But I do just hate associations. I can't wear yellow and black without thinking of a bee. Thank goodness I don't know anything about sports teams. If you are into sports, how do you wear colors? Every color you wear you would be supporting some team. Gross. But we all need to wear a little color sometimes. You can't always wear black or your parents will think you went goth. I guess what I am trying to say is that you shouldn't be racist.

Hmm, The oldest painting of Old Saint Nick I ever saw had the opposite colors correct. Dark magenta and green. Red and green only came about in the past 100 years. We have been teaching the color wheel wrong since 1900. In fact, Newton in 1640 never saw the colors magenta or cyan in the prism. The pigment primary colors were too small in the light prism to be considered important. That's why we have the wrong color wheel. Red, yellow and blue are not and never have been primary colors. Anyone can make red by mixing transparent magenta with transparent yellow. Blue is made by mixing together cyan and magenta. The original Easter colors were yellow and blue.
