When is International Colour Day?

Tuesday March 21st

Every year on March 21st, International Colour Day honors all aspects of colour and its effect on our lives. People are also encouraged to consider how colour makes our world a better place.

Colour has played a vital part in our culture from the very beginning of time. For centuries, people have experimented with various colors for writing, drawing, and expressing themselves. Red ochre is one of the oldest known pigments. This pigment was discovered in a prehistoric cave painting. The pigment was created by iron-rich soil.. Artists used animal fat, burned charcoal, and chalk to produce various shades of color as far back as 40,000 years ago. Along with red and other pigments that were produced during this period were brown, yellow, black, and white. Also available were brown, yellow, black, and white.

People have been able to produce millions of different colors since that time.. According to some scientists, humans are capable of seeing ten million different colours. However, some people believe there are much more shades than that. This is because of the different shades of light that affect color.. There are actually 18 decillion colours, according to One colour specialist. If you are not sure how many it is, it is the number 18 followed by 33 zeroes, followed by 33 zeroes. That is a lot of colors for our viewing pleasure!
