It is interesting to note that the colour of each of the 6 thinking hats relates psychologically to the function of each hat, black (negative) yellow (positive), red (emotion) etc. it is interesting to query where these preconceived ideas of colour come from.
I remember a speaker at the agideas conference talk about the idea of creativity in children, 'As a child we paint in rainbow'.
There are no rules or pre conceived ideas as to what we are producing visually as children, a bird can be pink and the sky can be green. As we grow up however we are told that the sky is blue, therefore it we should colour it blue. We are made to believe that in order to depict something correctly or truthfully, it must must apear exactly as it does in real life.
As someone who is red/green colour-blind, my visual interpretation of these two colours clearly differs from that of 'normal' people. So I often find myself asking what is the true colour of an object and by who's standards is that colour determined? Is what im seeing wrong or just different?
