Primary Colors and Accent Colors of Emotions
by JustSoWall-eCrazy » Wed Feb 17, 2016 5:57 am
This has been a though in my head for a while.
So, each of the five emotions has a predominant color.
Joy: Yellow
Sadness: Blue
Fear: Purple
Disgust: Green
Anger: Red
However, with some (notably Joy), there's an accent color they also carry. Now, this might be reading a little too much into the character design, but (and some people have speculated this on Tumblr) does an emotion having an accent color of another emotion show that they have some traits of that emotion?
Most obviously, this can easily be seen in Joy, who has blue hair (and some design motifs on the dress) despite yellow being her main color. And as witnessed in the movie, Joy is not immune to crying. She can feel sadness as well, but in contrast to Sadness, she is always optimistic and sees the silver lining in everything. And as seen in the end, Sadness and Joy work together at the console when Riley cries with her parents. Obviously, joy exists even when there is sadness.
Another one I noticed, and probably viewers didn't think about this one, but Disgust has purple as an accent color. Since purple is Fear's dominant color, I theorized that it may be possible that disgust is represented as not only revulsion to the strange and unknown, but also having a fear/aversion to it. Riley looks at the broccoli pizza with disgust, but is she also afraid of giving it a try for a certain fear of it tasting disgusting to her?
Wow! That was extensive. Unfortunately, I couldn't really see it with the other emotions (at least in Riley's head) Though the mother's Sadness wears a purple sweater, so it's possible that she has a fear of certain thing that could make her upset.
Opinions and feedback are always welcome!

I noticed this too! I'm not sure about the others, but the complementary use of blue in Joy's design is definitely to echo her connection with Sadness. For Disgust it very well could have just been a character design choice—purple and green complement each other nicely (see Buzz Lightyear for example). But it definitely makes sense in her case as well, and gives the Disear shippers something to rejoice about. lol

Inside Out is really a great movie. I enjoyed this automatic gate repair movie from beginning to end. It's about a girl Riley and her five core emotions, Fear, Anger, Joy, Disgust, and Sadness, who strive to cope with her new life. This data on five emotions and its predominant color is really interesting to read.

First of all, I must say that you have the best cover page that I have ever seen yet. Because the toy story is one of my favorite cartoon movies. Secondly, I do agree with the https://edubirdie.net/faq concept of life and colors. The thing that most touched my heart in this is the color for the jellyfish. Just imagine if the world will be like the jellyfish having no color in it, it’s just mind-blowing.

Compare and Contrast Essay Topics for 2019
by ankit1989 » Thu Mar 26, 2020 1:21 pm
As the name suggests, compare and contrast essays focus on comparison and contrasting. As a form of academic assignment, compare and contrast essays discuss two or more subjects. Subsequently, the objective is to explore and produce differences and similarities about the subjects in hand. Let us take a small example here. Suppose you have to prepare a compare and contrast essay on the topic ‘Growing up in a nuclear family, v/s growing up in a joint family’ The essay should explore sub topics on similarities, for instance, presence of immediate relations (parents, siblings, etc). Additionally, it should discuss the differences like social and emotional connection with grandparents etc. https://tutorbin.com/blog/compare-and-contrast-essay-topics-for-2019/
