| "Colors are forces, radiant energies that affect us positively or negatively, whether we are aware of it or not. The effects of colors should be experienced and understood, not only visually, but also psychologically and symbolically " (Johannes Itten) Color is a very important element of cinematic expression. In film Artists utilize its quality to relate to mood and/or state of mind of the character. Perpetual appearance of colors in nature determines our Natural associations. Then there are Cultural associations where resulting quality of perception is determined by cultural background and life experience. Here we start dealing with Color Symbolism as diverse as cultures themselves. Approach to color interpretation can be based on Spiritual qualities as represented by system of Chakra. On a very basic level, it is about freedom of interpretation where choices made are a peculiar mixture of personal sensibility and intellectual background. Intellectual ingredient has a potential of expanding stricte emotional interpretation into another level of appreciation by exploating symbolic attributes of color.
