Here’s a roundup of the most colorful art, products, websites and such that I’ve come across in the last week.
Art
National Geographic: Life In Color
This incredible series of beautifully selected photos organized by color will be an automatic favorite for any color lover. And they’re all available large enough for wallpapers, hurray!
Beehive Huts
The dusty-orange, beehive-shaped huts of Tall Mardĭkh, Syria, were built some 200 years ago by an ancient method which has since been lost. The shape and materials of these mud-brick dwellings help them remain cool in summer and warm in winter.
Huli Wigman
Red tears of sweat stream down the yellow-painted face of a Huli wigman in Papua New Guinea. His elaborate costume, donned for a ceremonial welcoming dance called the sing-sing, also includes a dramatic wig of human hair.
Riverbank Butterflies
Leaf-green pierid butterflies alight on the sandy shores of the Tuichi River in Bolivia’s Madidi National Park. The vast Madidi wilderness encompasses a staggering range of ecosystems—from snowcapped Andean peaks to tropical Amazonian lowlands.
Yellowstone Wolf
Bathed in blue light, a gray wolf peers through the misty landscape of Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. West. The animals were successfully reintroduced to the park in the mid-1990s after an absence of nearly seven decades.
Pantanal Palm Trees
Palm trees emerge from the morning mist in the Pantanal near Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. This enormous landlocked river delta forms an ecologically diverse wetland ecosystem in parts of Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.
Lavender Fields
Purple is a versatile color. Combining the fire of red with the serenity of blue, it has the ability to soothe as well as excite passion. Purple is prevalent in nature in everything from eggplants to amethysts, and humans have adopted it as a symbol of royalty.
Here, Ross Bridge in Tasmania is cloaked in a mauve sunset. The beautiful sandstone span, built by convicts in 1836, is one of Australia’s oldest and is decorated with an impressive array of carvings.
East German Auto
A red car sits on a dirty and deserted side street in communist East Berlin. East and West Germany were reunited in 1990 after 45 years of separation following the end of World War II.
‘Six Colors’ by Alex Fuller
Inspired by Josef Albers and the Bauhaus school, Alex Fuller’s book ‘six colors’ is a study of simple composistions representing a range in contrast and form.
