...In each trial we were shown a word that either said GREEN, RED or BLUE that was shown in either green, red or blue font color. And my job was to press the correct key button with the correct color on the screen as quickly as possible. During this trial my job was to press either the J, K or L button when the colors were presented. When going through the trial the first one I got incorrect I was confused because it said GREEN but the color was blue so I pressed the green button. While going through the trial I had to keep repeating to myself the colors and not get confused with what the word said. I experienced confusing at times and had to concentrating harder than I normally would. When the brain sees the word “green” you automatically hit the green button, but if the word says “green” with a blue font color your brain has to think a little harder and not get confused. The expected results were that people would tend to be faster at identifying the color when the word and font color are the same and be slower when they are different. And that is exactly what happened to me. I was a lot slower when the font and word color were different and didn’t hesitate at all when they were the same....

...Fitzgerald one can see that the idea of the American dream is expressed through the simplicity of color. Many have argued that The Great Gatsby is a book of sexual immorality and critically acclaimed thoughts as well as a magnificent book that secretly has deeper meaning than the simply words it offers in its sentences. Such a person is Daniel J. Schneider who is an advocate of the glory behind the cover, he wrote “Color Symbolism in The Great Gatsby” where he puts forward his own point of view on the meaning of the use of Fitzgerald’s color symbolism in each sentence were he expressed an elusive idea hard for the common reader to find. In this mysterious book the color blue is very much present, from describing attire to showing the mode of the characters, blue goes beyond this and elusively states that it is the dream...

...RED, WHITE, BLUE AND YOU Or, The Color of Politics An Essay by Charles Ebeling Presented at the Chicago Literary Club Election Eve, November 5, 2012 Copyright 2012 Charles Ebeling Dedicated to the memory of my good friend and neighbor Marshall J. Goldsmith Who was my guest at the Literary Club, October 24, 2011 Some us recall a great 1986 film called “The Color of Money,” and no, cynics, it wasn’t about politics. That film earned Paul Newman the Oscar for Best Actor as a pool hustler and stakehorse, who enjoyed a glass or two of J.T.S. Brown Kentucky bourbon, my favorite beverage from college days. But, unless I’ve missed a documentary or foreign film along these lines, I haven’t yet seen a dramatization called “The Color of Politics.” Yes, there is such a thing as “The Politics of Color,” but as social commentary, not as a film title. “The Color of Politics” is equally real though, and has a long history. I first dabbled in the palette of politics on election eve, 2008, when I presented before the club on that occasion an essay I’d titled “One Collage Too Many,” painting...

...in the speakers' mother tongue. However, idioms can often be very difficult to understand. You may be able to guess the meaning from context but if not, it is not easy to know the meaning. We tend to think of colors as ideas which all humans agree on – grass is green, flames are orange, the sky is light blue – even if different languages have different names for these colors. As English speakers, we also tend to think of color names in terms of the "basic" ones and the more specific, secondary ones. Many people are surprised to learn, therefore, that different languages do not consider the basic colors to be the same. This research has inevitably led some linguists to surmise that the experience of seeing color may be relative for a person and may be influenced by his or her language. It follows, then, that colors are used in very different ways in different color idioms across languages. 2. Aims of report The report help students of English as a foreign language increase their knowledge of English idiomatic expressions about color “Blue” and have fun while doing it with lively definition and examples of each idioms. 3.

...Eye Color Inheritance Eye color is a physical trait that is determined by the pairing of genes from both parents. Eye color is a polygenic trait, which means there are multiple genes that interact to produce the color. It was previously thought that a single gene pair following dominant and recessive inheritance patterns was responsible for eye color, but it is now known to be much more complex than that, involving at least three gene pairs. Geneticists have focused on two of the three gene pairs to help clarify the inheritance of eye color: EYCL1, called the gey gene, and EYCL3, called the bey2 gene. There are several genes which influence the color of a person's eyes. As a general rule brown eyed genes are often dominant and blue eyed genes tend to be recessive. These factors of genetic dominance are added to the complex genetic equation that our bodies use to determine our eye color. A green allele is dominant over a blue allele, and a brown allele is dominant over both green and blue alleles. For the bey 2 gene if a person has a brown allele then they will have brown eyes. In the gey gene the green allele is dominant over the blue allele, but it is still recessive next to a brown allele. All four alleles must be blue to produce a blue eyed person. Another way of predicting the color of a child's eyes is to use the parent's eye color genes. In my family, my mother as well as my father has blue eyes. I am a one of three children they had. To be more exact, I am a triplet...

...How to Coordinate Colors Three Parts:Knowing Your ColorsMatching ColorsUsing Fail-Safe Combinations Sometimes it can be difficult to know which colors you should wear with that green shirt or that blue skirt... but there are some definite rules that govern which colors look best with one another. Of course, once you know the rules you can break them, but it's good to get the basics down first. See step 1 to get starting coordinating your outfits by color. Part 1 of 3: Knowing Your Colors 1. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- 1 ------------------------------------------------- Use the color wheel. All the color wheel does is tell you how best to combine colors.There are particular color combinations in the color wheel that are particularly pleasing to the eye, called color harmonies. The basic primary colors of red, yellow, and blue are used to create the secondary colors. Tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colors together.[1] * There are warm colors and cool colors. Warm colors tend to be orange, red, yellow, etc. and cool colors are greens, blues, and purples. Mixing warm colors with warm colors and cool colors with cool colors can be a good way for a color coordination novice to get comfortable with the colors. * White, black, and grey are neutral colors (and are very important for properly coordinating clothing). * When a color is tinted that means that...

...school: 1. Is hair related to eye color? 2. Is favorite color related to favorite ice cream flavor? I took a survey of students, and used the chi square (χ2) statistic to see if the data is related. The χ2 statistic showed that hair color and eye color are related, but favorite color and favorite ice cream flavor are not related. Purpose: To use statistics to find out two things about students at my school: 1. Is hair related to eye color? 2. Is favorite color related to favorite ice cream flavor? Research: I chose this project because I wanted to learn more about probability and statistics. I can use statistics to answer a question about students at my school. χ2 is used to compare sets of descriptive data. Descriptive data are things like colors, flavors, names, and other things that cannot be described by just a number, like height or weight. I picked hair color and eye color because I thought they would be related. I wanted to test this. I picked favorite color and favorite ice cream flavor because I didn’t think they would be related. I wanted to test this also. Hypotheses: First Hypothesis: Eye color and hair color will be related. In statistical terms: Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no relationship between eye color and hair color. Alternative Hypothesis (HA): There is a relationship between eye color and hair color. I expect that we will reject...

...Pink for girls; Blue for boys? Nowadays if we walk into a department store we can be sure that we will find pink and some blue clothes, toys and little other objects for children such as books, bikes, lunchboxes, board games, toy cookers, cash registers, even games consoles. If we look at these objects there is no wonder everybody knows that pink is specified for girls and blue for boys. But how did this become a common thought? Since when do we use colors to make a difference between genders? And why exactly did we choose pink and blue to fulfill this role? In the 1800s most infants were dressed in white and both boys and girls wore dresses or short skirts until the age of five or six. Although, there was a few small difference between boy and girl clothing. For example girls wore dresses which were buttoned up in the back while boys’ dresses were buttoned up in the front. So gender difference wasn’t highlighted just in a little scale. Why wasn’t this important in that age of time? One theory is that distinguishing boys from girls was less important than distinguishing kids from adults. Childhood was a time of innocence while adulthood typically meant working hard. By the 1850s other colors than white had started to appear in baby clothing, but gender-based distinctions were slow to emerge. For example a Times fashion report from 1880 says that boys and girls were dressed alike in shades of blue, pink, white or violet; another report from 1892 says young girls were wearing...

...Color Symbolism Rough Draft Throughout life a person experiences and sees many different colors. All colors send a hidden message to a person. The message can be based on that person’s emotion or what they just simply think the color’s message is. “Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions”, this was said by Pablo Picasso. What he means by this is that colors can and will have a very big effect on your emotions and actions. Looking at certain colors can change your whole mood very quickly whether it’s great or awful. Some dark colors could cause you to be sad, angry, or gloomy. But when a person looks at bright, beautiful colors it can make them very happy, friendly and social. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby,...

...Why is the sky blue? Many people ask this question and we think they come across as silly or young. But the ironic thing is, is that this question touches on some of the deepest aspects of astronomy and skygazing (Sky-Watch). The question is what causes us to see the sky as blue? There are a variety of answers and not necessarily all of them being true, like when you tell a child that it’s because God spilled his water. The sky is blue because of the wavelength of the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum, the atmosphere of Earth, and our eyes. Many people believe that the sky is light blue just because they have grown up to think only about the color blue when they are asked about the sky. But scientific studies show that the light from the Sun is all the colors of the rainbow. (Note card 3) The light travels in waves and consists of weightless particles that are moving around 200,000 kilometers per second (Sky-Watch). The range of light that our eyes can see is the electromagnetic spectrum. Each color in the spectrum has a different frequency-which is the number of cycles per second. The frequency of light is determined by color. For example, blue light has a shorter and highter frequency than the others. Furthermore, now you know that the light waves coming from the Sun contain all the colors with different frequencies and that the light with a lower frequency has a longer wavelength. For my second point, it is our atmosphere on Earth. In suppor of this we know that...

...bright orange-brown color in which is often called “copper color”. Also, copper is an element that is chemically combined with several of compounds in nature. Usually, these compounds are blue or blue-green depending on the copper(II) species. In this lab we are to observe many of the physical and chemical properties of copper by cycling copper via several chemical reactions; those reactions being, Oxidation Reduction, Acid-Base and Oxidation-Reduction and Single Displacement Reduction. Lastly, while performing a series of chemical processes, the mass of copper recovered should equal the original mass of copper from the beginning. II. Data (Experimental Observations) Part A: Oxidation Reduction Reaction The weight of the copper starting material was 0.107g. After I weighted the copper, I wrapped the turning into a small ball and place it into a 150 mL beaker. Then, I measured 8 mL of 6 M nitric acid, HNO3, into a 10 ml graduated cylinder. Afterwards, I then slowly added the 6 M HNO3 into the beaker containing the copper. Then, I cover the beaker with a watch glass and observe the reaction. As I was observing the reaction, I noticed that the color of the copper solution went from a clear to a baby blue color. As the copper slowly continued to dissolved taking more than 10 minutes, it was then rapidly dissolved into a dark blue solution. As the copper dissolved, bubbles were being secreted causing the inside of the beaker to form a yellowish gas color due to the chemical...
