October 22nd is National Color Day #NationalColorDay finally we have our home back to just ourselves. I can tell you both Charlie and I are excited about that. To celebrate Charlie and I’ve decided were going to watch Selena.
I’m going to make us some Cookies and Chocolate Milk, While watching the movie were going to also celebrate National Color Day and get out our coloring books and crayons. Would you like to join us in coloring today? If your #Homeschooling your children you could study colors while celebrating #NationalColorDay.
National Color Day falls on October 22 giving you a chance to stop and reflect on the relationship we share with the colors that surround us and the innumerable ways in which colors impact us. I have a question for you. How long has it been since you stopped by a Garden to admire a yellow Sunflower, or gazed at the deep blue Sky? We invite you to celebrate the power of colors today!
National Color Day celebrates and enlightens people about the significance attached to each color. Humans have always shared a deep relationship with the colors that surround them and as we grow up, our tastes evolve and so does our association with the things that we once liked. But this omnipresent element of nature hardly gets its due recognition.
National Color Day is celebrated to recognize the duality of our relationship with colors. We often use colors to our benefit but we seldom talk about the power and influence that our chosen color has on our mood, state of mind, and attention span.
Did you know the right color can enhance your beauty and the wrong one can ruin a photograph? Our brains associate colors with memories and shape our experiences of melancholy and trauma. Much of the impact that a color can have on us is based on our biology, and then there’s our personal relationship with colors.
The advertising industry reaps great benefits from the color theory, which illustrates our predisposition to some colors. For example, a combination of red and yellow can stimulate our brain a concept that reflects on the logos of McDonald’s, Netflix, KFC, and Target. Launched by General Motors in 2009 as a part of a promotion for a brand new Chevrolet, National Color Day has been celebrated ever since.
National Color Day Activities
- Indulging in arts and crafts and painting, in particular, has tremendous benefits. Art is more than stroking a brush on paper. Painting forces you to connect your body to your mind. October 22nd is a great day to reconnect with your inner self.
- Take the opportunity today to mix magenta with yellow and you get red. Combine red and green and you get a shade of yellow. Colors are nothing but a big group project. On
- National Color Day, educate yourself about how these shades come into existence and don’t be afraid to get your hands ‘colored’ in the process.
- Many people will advise you to rock your best colors on National Color Day, but not us. Because we believe in embracing change. This year, peep into your closet, pick out a piece of clothing you’d never dare to wear, in a color you never thought you would see yourself in and step out of your comfort zone.
Facts About Colors That’ll Blow Your Mind

Why We Love National Color Day
- The hustle and bustle of daily life can make you miss out on the most latent wonders of the world. When was the last time you marveled at the many wonders of Nature that surround us? October 22nd is a great day to stop and appreciate the blue sky.
- Step out of the greys and blacks, and explore the world of magenta and orange. On National Color Day, you have a chance to go experiment with the crazy colors of life.
- People know a lot about colors because Newton decided to experiment with Sunlight in his free time. The modern-day color theory is based on Newton’s primary assertion that a prism separates white light into colors. National Color Day is a great day to honor this genius and his relentless curiosity.
