| It's today. And I made a flyer in celebration. |
I can't take much credit, though - you can thank free desktop backgrounds available online... ;-)
According to the International Colour Association (AIC): An international day of colour and light has been considered as appropriate since colour is, thanks to sight, one of the most influential phenomena in people’s lives and also one of the channels that contributes most greatly to the perception of reality. All around the world we will create memorable colour activities during the same colourful day!
Why March 21st?
March 21st every year is the “equinox” – aequus (equal) and nox (night). Around the equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long, symbolically relating to the complementary nature of light and darkness, light and shadow expressed in all human cultures.
Activities and Events that could be unfolded on an International Colour Day:
• Arts exhibitions, architectural projects, design, decoration, fashion....
• Meetings, debates, scientific events.....
• Workshops on the use of colour and light for both adults and children.
• Contests on colour and light design.
• Decide on your identity colour, wear it and use it during the International Colour Day! - Well, hello there! Why wait until March 21st? I do this every day!
• Put it on your web sites!
• These are some examples....
We didn't go all out this year, but hopefully next year we will. For now we'll stick to handing out free colorful m&m's.
