Colours of Holi

Colours reflect human value. Colours are used to express extreme wrath or our disability, grief, love and other human emotions.

The festival of colours or Holi is one celebrated widely by the Hindus. The festival indicates the arrival of Spring in February/March. During this festival people spray each other with coloured powders and coloured water, forget the cares of winter, and rejoice at the onset of spring.

Before celebrating with these colours during Holi, it is important for us to know what these colours actually mean. Here is the list of some primary colours and their meanings.

Red: It is the colour of victory, revolution, war and sometime deep wrath.

Blue: It is the colour of depth, sky and ocean.

Green: It is the colour of love towards nature.

Yellow: It is the colour of a deep friendship and sometimes sympathy.

White: It is the promising colour of peace.

Black: It represents revolt against wrong deeds.

So, when you play with colours this season, remember what the colours stand for.
