THE PURCHASER of a black servant was persuaded that the color of his skin arose from dirt contracted through the neglect of his former masters. On bringing him home he resorted to every means of cleaning, and subjected the man to incessant scrubbings. The servant caught a severe cold, but he never changed his color or complexion.

黑人
有人买了一个黑奴,以为他的肤色是由於原来的主人的大意而为,带回家后,用许多肥皂和水想要把他洗乾净。可是黑奴肤色丝毫没有一点变化,他自己却因辛苦大病一场。
ORANGE: Inheriting some of the drama of red, orange is temperedby the friendly humour of yellow. It’s the colour that stimulates the appetite and radiates with warmth and vitality.
橙色:继承了红色的张扬,又被黄色的婉转所中和,橙色能有效促进食欲,也是放射着温暖活力的颜色。
BLUE: Ever noticed how many corporations and financial institutions use blue in their brands? That’s because blue is seen as dependable and committed. It is also the colour we often associate with calm and serenity. Darken the blue and you’ll add an instant authority, credibilityand power to it.
