Week Two Discussion- How do you feel about the artistic/visual element known as color?

Discuss your favorite color, and your least favorite color.

First, please submit an image of your favorite color, and your least favorite color. For example, I will provide an image of my favorite color. My favorite color is yellow-orange. My least favorite color is royal purple. Use only images from Flickr's Creative Commons. Please include the author, title, and license used. In addition, please create working hyperlinks to the author, image, and license. 

Secondly, write a 350 or more word post which describes in detail your reasoning for selecting these two colors. For example, I like yellow-orange because it reminds me warm days, saffron, and the robes of Tibetan monks. Royal purple is my least favorite color because it reminds me of royalty, monarchies, and Crown Royal Canadian Whiskey. Everyone has their own personal reasons and feelings for selecting a color to like or dislike. However, If you look at color psychology you will begin to see nearly universal traits for each color.  

Lastly, reply to a post using 50 or more words. Please follow the instructions provided below. If you run into technical challenges please contact the Canvas Help Desk (844-394-9022). They are available for free 24/7 help. This can be a technically challenging assignment. Please give yourself time to edit and adjust if needed.
