William Gass wrote an incredible book, On Being Blue. It lists associations we have with the color blue. The color is certainly evocative of sights from nature, moods and inner thoughts. How about red, green and yellow?  What associations do you have with these colors?  Record your associations. Look at something you’ve written recently about an experience you had. Can you add color to this passage? Incorporate some of colors you contemplated and ask if you feel differently about the event you described now that you are aware of the associations you have with these colors.
