 Nothin’ like a quote such as, "Color is like sex" to catch our attention. The statement comes from Stephen Drucker, editor of House Beautiful of all places, in talking about his love of color. Drucker explains this bold statement in a recent Huffington Post piece. His premise is that the “science of color” desperately tries to pinpoint and summarize something completely unpredictable’ something that is so personal and subjective for every person.
“Color is like sex. It's mysterious. It's unknowable. It never looks the same twice. No two people see the same thing. No two people feel the same thing. I once went to China on a cruise ship. Eight hundred of us got off the ship wearing white, because it feels festive and shippy and says ‘I'm on a cruise.’ In China white is the color of mourning. We looked insane.”
