7 curiosities about colors

Why are pencils and erasers yellow? Why are the images observed at night by the cameras green? Why is cheddar cheese always orange? And above all, why is pink not a color for men?

The article below will introduce you to some curiosities about the world of colors

Why are lapis lazuli mostly yellow?

Yellow is the most popular color because it is the clearest. Meanwhile, when parts of a text are highlighted with this color and photocopied, the underline does not appear on the copy. Regarding this invention, it was created by the Japanese Yukio Horie in 1962.

Why pencils?

Lead pencils were chosen to be colored yellow because in Chinese tradition it symbolizes nobility, respect and heroism.

Why is pink not a color for men?

Gender identification based on color in Western countries began in the first decade of the 20th century. Previously, the colors pink and blue did not possess any particular specificity or the connotations we know for them today, both for children and adults. Moreover, in 1927, Time magazine published a chart highlighting the colors that belonged to girls and boys, based on the main stores of the United States of America. Previously, men were advised to wear pink and girls in blue. For reasons unknown, things began to change around the 1940s, when clothing manufacturers dedicated pink to women and blue to men.

Why is cheddar cheese orange?

Cheddar cheese is orange because it is colored with annatto, a color extract from the seeds of the Bixa orellana plant. Reason? The color of this type of cheese changes according to the season and according to the feeding of the cows, so farmers in the mid-800s began to enhance its color in order to avoid its different appearances.

To stand in the dark and see green

For glasses worn at night, yellow phosphor is used because our eyes can see more with shades of green than with other colors. Green has a deeper glow than red, while it is perceived more brilliantly.

Is the sun yellow?

No, the sun is exactly all the colors mixed together, but to our eyes it appears white. When it rises in the sky (our perception), it looks like a white disk.

Gift colors

Queen Elizabeth loves to wear colors. The shades of her wardrobe are really numerous, so that someone has thought to order them referring to the occasion in question.
