I'm amazed sometimes at the power of colour.
I was talking last night with some guys about NFL teams, and who we support. For me, because I wasn't raised on it, and because I'm not from any of the cities that have NFL teams, I don't really have any teams that I support fully. However, the teams that I do have a soft spot for are teams that have been successful, but more than that, for teams that have a lot of dark blue on their uniform (my favourite colour) - the Patriots, the Cowboys, even the Bills (yikes...)
In terms of baseball - same deal... Yankees, Twins...
Basketball - I'm more of a purist, so it is far more about the players (Go Cavs!)
I was thinking about that a bit more this morning, and walked out into a fairly grey and gloomy day, and realised how much difference that made, too. The weekend was spectacular - sunshine, blue skies... In fact, it was actually colder on the weekend than today, yet today felt colder and more dreary, because of the grey skies.
I'm sure there's a reason for it all, but it does amaze me that we can be so affected by the colour we see (consciously or not).
