True Colors


You know, I don't think we realize just how much color helps us. They tell us things. They do.

You can tell if the food you're cooking is ready to eat when it changes color. Meat turns from pink to golden brown, and you know you're going to have a nice satisfying meal. Or when a fruit's ripe, you know it when it changes color. If those mangoes are still green, that means you're in for a sour awakening if you try to eat them too soon. If you get a bruise on your leg, it turns blue-violet. That color's telling you to make sure that area doesn't get banged up again, or else it's going to hurt.

If you're swimming out to sea, and the water changes from light blue to royal blue, that means that you might not be able to touch the ocean floor and keep your head above water at the same time. Or if you talk to someone and see that her eyes are red, that may mean either she's got colds or she had been crying.

So watch out for color. Because it watches out for you.
