What is the colour of the wind?

What colour is the wind?

Im actually not sure what the colour of the wind is…If I think back on the many story books I’ve read as a child…the colour that comes to mind is Blue. The wind was always portrayed as blue.

Now that im thinking about it, the wind can be a few colours in my mind. In summer on that really hot day, when all your want is a soft crisp breeze, to me the colour of the wind would be a light blue. In winter on that cold rainy day, when all your want to do is lie under your blanket with a hot cup of coffee, the wind to me would be shades of grey, black and white. In autumn when the tree leaves are falling with the wind whisking by, the colour of the wind in my mind would all the warm colours you can think of, red, orange, yellow and brown. I spring, I think the colour of the wind would be an opaque white and yellow.

Does the wind have a colour? I don’t think so. The colours I have in my mind are those I’ve seen in story books and the colour I imagine the wind to be. Does the colour of the wind change as the season changes? Does it really matter what colour the wind is? To a women playing victim to a Marilyn Monroe scene thanks to the wind im sure the colour of wind would be black and all the dark colours one can think of. To a cyclist feeling the light cool breeze rushing through he’s hair im sure the colour of the wind could be all the happy colours one could think of.

So I’ve come to the conclusion, the wind has no colour in my mind, and it adopts colours as it pleases.

Today, in my mind, the colour of the wind would have to be grey, dark blue and shades of black because this weather just makes me want to climb back into bed!

  1. I must agree with you that the wind has no colour, but its always good to imagine that it does. Get rid of all those images of the wind that you adopted whilst growing up. Its time to start afresh.Use your imagination. Today the wind can be magenta...:)
