Hue

General Truong had a sense of unease as the Tet holiday began on 29 January. Although his intelligence staff did not think the enemy had the capability or the intention of launching a major attack against Hue, the general was painfully aware of the city’s vulnerabilities. His division was tough and battle tested but stretched uncomfortably thin throughout I Corps. Two battalions of the 3d Infantry Regiment were west of Hue, one on a routine sweep mission and the other undergoing training at the Van Thanh Division School, while the remaining two battalions of the regiment were searching for the enemy near the coast southeast of Hue. The 1st1st Regiment was stationed at Quang Tri City fifty kilometers to the northwest, and the 2d Regiment was another twelve kilometers…

It is viewed this way because the heavens are usually viewed as a light, peaceful place, and black, being the opposite of this connotation, immediately lends itself to be viewed as evil. The cat initially seems harmless, and does not harm his rescuer David, but Alexie uses the cat’s dark hue to illustrate the foreboding hardship for the couple. Sharon and David’s relationship would not be the same had the cat not come between them and tainted it. Although the couple ends up living a happy life,…

We chose to make light orange. According to the RGB system, using the color triangle, it is called (.75, .2, .05). We can also conclude that light orange has a greater saturation and hue of red than green and blue. Using the saturation method, we subtracted .2 from each RGB value and got (.55, 0, .15). By figuring out the color position, we looked at the fraction of the red and greens light orange has; .75R and .2G. In order to find out the fraction of blue, we used the equation 1 = r+ g +b…

colors. The black color of the background put the spotlight on the main subject which consists of high-saturated colors like the red and the blue with high chroma as well as high value colors like the skin tone of the sitter and the white color of the ermine. Moreover, how the light affects the colors makes the lady look powerful and graceful. The light from the right side of the painting makes the colors gradient from low to high, forming the space. The shadow that the light creates makes the…

The uttam ra(n)g (best colour) is indeed the genuine colour, genuine in the sense of permanence and that is indeed the colour of Satpanth (True Path), the hue of the Truth, which leads one to Satguru, as explained by Pir Satgur Nur: Jīrevīrā ra(n)g majīṭh sāchā hay, ane dīse te lāl gulāl, Paṇ kasu(n)bīmā(n) guṇ hay, te dīse chhe ra(n)g āl O brother, the Indian madder dye is genuine and appears red as the gulāl, While the trait of safflower dye is to seemingly appear as the colour of āl The…

In the article, “No one could see the color blue until modern times,” Loria writes how blue was not used to describe objects until more modern times. The author traced the use of each color in a language and culture and saw a pattern of the emergence of the use of each color. Black and white were the first colors to appear, and blue was the last to appear. The sky and ocean were not described as blue and used other colors and words to describe the color. I believe just because we did not used…

Colors have a strong impact on the way we feel, our mood, and emotions. According to the article, “Relationship between Color and Emotion: A Study of College Students” by Naz Kaya and Helen Epps, ninety-eight students were asked to express their emotional responses to five principal hues (red, yellow, green, blue, purple), five intermediate hues (yellow-red, green-yellow, blue-green, purple-blue, and red-purple), and three achromatic colors (white, gray, and black) and the reasons for the…

affects performance (2007). In some cases, the ability to perform or lack thereof could be caused by stress or anxiety, but stress alone has not been studied in a way that clearly shows that certain colors can trigger certain emotions such as stress. It is my intention to study the direct effects of color on stress through the use of HRV as done by Elliot, Payen, Brisswalter, Cury, & Thayer in their 2011 study. Unlike their study though, I intend to measure participants HRV before the study to…

which goes with the rest of the color scheme. Kooning does this to show that she is the center of the painting and that everything revolves around her and what she represents. There are more expressive colors than optical colors because he wants the colors to draw people in to attract their attention to show them this image of the ideal strong, independent woman. Kooning uses expressive lines which make the painting look distorted and more abstract. Looking at the painting, there is not any…

Wear Your “True Colors”! Ever wonder what the definition of “true colors” are? Most people would think of a color wheel and how different hues blend together to create radiant colors. There are many different ideas that come to mind when speaking of color. Whether it may be the different sensations of the eye from the reflection of light, how a person’s character is perceived by another, or in other cases it can be used in a metaphorical sense.
