Adding a little colour to our days.
After the colours for the Cardinal Directions were assigned, it was a short matter of finding the gradation of colour between each to come up with the Prismatic Days of the Year (although, there are 360 distinct colours, as five of the 365 are repeated).
256 quadrigrams
64 trigrams
16 bigrams
While the 4 colours represent the year for the plants.
Blue – North – Winter – the blue of the sky while the plants are sleeping.
Green – East – Spring – the budding of new growth as the days warm up and grow longer.
Yellow – South – Summer – the yellow of flowers, pollen, bees, and later peppers, beans, maize.
Red – West – Autumn – the ripened red of pumpkins, apples, and leaves falling from the trees.
Assigning colours to the days is in part a step in working more colour into my artwork, but more importantly, it is to gradually note the change from day to day as the Seasons change.
