How To Put Colors In Your Photograph ... According to Bill Brewer, "colorizing is a feature built into PSP that keeps the luminance values (the bright and dark parts that make up the recognizable image) and colors the image with one color... The image to be colorized needs to have a color depth of 16.7 million colors, and it can be in full color to start with (reduction to grayscale is not required before colorizing)... That way, you have complete control over the hue/saturation/lightness, and the color preview is much better than what you get with Colorize."...

Interior Design By Color ... All of the sources provide a great deal of what we use in our interiors and also what we wear; interior color and fashion are directly correlated and strongly affect our everyday lives... Interesting thing is, they all have somewhat different predictions of what the newest trend in color will be. From Benjamin Moore to Farrow & Ball to Pantone to Sherwin Williams to Architectural Digest and Veranda. I studied there predictions and here's my take: What I have confirmed, is that color, specifically that of which is used in home interiors, makes a resurgence from the past.everyone knows that fact...

A tree is made to live in peace in the color of day and in friendship with the sun, the wind and the rain. Its roots plunge in the fat fermentation of the soil, sucking in its elemental humors, its fortifying juices. Trees always seem lost in a great tranquil dream. The dark rising sap makes them groan in the warm afternoons. A tree is a living being that knows the course of the clouds and presses the storms because it is full of birds’ nests.
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

There is a wilderness of commonplace and much that is ugly and poor.... there seems no inspiration, no evolvement of the beautiful, no intricate poetic conception, no freshness. It is all “technique, technique.” There is little independence of vision; all “treatment” with no apprehension of the thing to treat.... They are adventurous, these artists. They draw admirably; they do not color so well, and they have few ideals.... that ideal which was once the real world of the artist seems to have fled, and that present world, “all around us lying,” does not seem to have revealed itself to the artist with its truest and most tender grace.
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted color off.
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
