Siri and Selma couldn’t be stopped from blogging about Kb’s latest project.
Do you know why? Kb has dedicated the extensive book to his colour cards to them. They are bursting with pride and need to show it off to everyone. It’s also dedicated to Dina, who has designed this blogpost beautifully. Unfortunately, the book with the cards is only available in German. But who knows, maybe Kb’s publishing house will sell an English licence.
Siri und Selma waren nicht davon abzuhalten, über das neueste Projekt von Kb zu bloggen.
Wisst ihr warum? Kb hat ihnen das umfangreiche Buch zu den Farbkarten gewidmet. Sie platzen vor Stolz und müssen es allen zeigen. Es ist auch Dina gewidmet, die diesen Blogpost wie immer wunderschön gestaltet hat. Leider gibt es das Buch mit den Karten nur auf Deutsch. Aber wer weiß, vielleicht verkauft Kb’s Verlag eine englische Lizenz.

This book on the colour project is about the language of colours, which is almost more logical than our spoken language. Colour speaks to us, red says ‘STOP!’, green says ‘GO’, for example. Where there is language, there is also the often unloved grammar, the order of language elements and forms. The grammar of colours can be seen in the colour wheel. For example, complementary colours are opposite each other, warm and cold colours on different sides of the colour wheel. The colour wheel is also a good way to learn how to create subtle colour transitions, which we book fairies love.
In diesem Buch zu dem Farbprojekt geht es um die Sprache der Farben, die fast noch logischer aufgebaut ist als unsere gesprochene Sprache. Farbe spricht zu uns, Rot sagt “STOP!”, Grün sagt z.B. “GO“. Wo Sprache ist, da ist auch die oft ungeliebte Grammatik, die Ordnung und Form der Sprachelemente. Die Grammatik der Farben lässt sich am Farbenkreis ablesen. Da stehen sich zum Beispiel Komplementärfarben gegenüber, warme und kalte Farben auf verschiedenen Seiten des Farbenkreises. Am Farbenkreis kann man auch gut lernen, feinste Farbübergänge zu gestalten, was wir Buchfeen lieben.
Just as in the order of the numbers the always equal spacing of the natural numbers is disturbed by the distribution of the revolting prime numbers, so the beautiful regularity of the colours is disturbed by the different colour ranges. How long does a colour retain its character when another is mixed in? White is the most sensitive of all colours; even a small splash of colour from another colour makes it no longer appear white. Black and blue are much more stable.
Wie bei der Ordnung der Zahlen die immer gleichen Abständen der Primärzahlen durch die Verteilung der revoltierenden Primzahlen gestört wird, so wird die schöne Regelmäßigkeit der Farben durch die verschiedenen Farbreichweiten gestört. Wie lange behält eine Farbe ihren Charakter, wenn man eine andere einmischt? Weiß ist das Sensibelchen unter den Farben, schon kleine Farbspritzer einer anderen Farbe lässt es nicht mehr weiß erscheinen. Schwarz und Blau sind wesentlich beständiger.
But that is only one part of the book and the beautifully designed colour cards. This colour project aims to learn how to use colours confidently. It is about the symbolism and the effect of colours, especially what to consider with the individual colours when dressing for special occasions and what you should bear in mind when decorating your home. The assignment of colours to the signs of the zodiac, planets and energy centres and the use of colours for healing are also covered.
Aber das ist nur ein Teil des Buches und der wunderschön gestalteten Farbkarten. Ziel dieses Farbprojektes ist es, den sicheren Umgang mit Farben zu erlernen. Es geht um die Symbolik und die Wirkung der Farben, vor allem darum, was zu den einzelnen Farben bei der Kleidung zu welchen Anlässen zu bedenken ist und was man bei der Inneneinrichtung beachten sollte. Aber auch die Zuordnung der Farben zu den Tierkreiszeichen, Planeten und Energiezentren sowie die Anwendung von Farben zur Heilung werden behandelt.

Siri and Selma’s final summary: ‘Here you’ll find everything you ever wanted to know about colours and the cards allow you to play with the colours.’ Just take a look here.
Siri und Selmas abschließendes Resumee: “Hier findet ihr alles, was ihr schon immer über Farben wissen wolltet und die Karten bieten euch die Möglichkeit, mit den Farben zu spielen.” Und seht ‘mal hier.
We wish you a colourful time
Wir wünschen euch eine farbenfrohe Zeit
Siri 😊 & Selma 😊

Congratulations, Klausbernd. This is a brilliant project that I hope will one day be in English. I will be the first one in line to purchase it!! Colours are such a part of our lives and yet we take them for granted. We are influenced by colours, but we have very little knowledge of how much they dictate our emotional state. We do not consider the link between a specific colour and how that colour evokes feelings, creates atmospheres, and even affects our behaviors. I have enjoyed learning about colours through your blog and our conversations. I especially appreciate your thoughts on how colours play a role in cultural symbolism and personal expression, making them integral to our daily experiences and interactions.
A huge thank you to Dina/Hanne for the most amazing photography. Sending many hugs to our dear friends, the Fab Four of Cley!!

We love colours, Dina in photography and Kb in theory and in drawing with colour pencils. You are right, colours are a subtle way of expressing not only feelings but also opinions and views. Colours communicate without being obtrusive. Besides this, our world would be boring without colour, wouldn’t it?
Kb wrote a lot of books about colours and this is the one that combines them all.
It was fun working together with Dina, Siri and Selma, well, it’s always fun working together with them.

Blue is the most liked colour in the western world, because of its quieting effect. It’s the colour of Romanticism going back to Novalis’ novel and has to do with longing but also with fog and befuddlement. It’s the coldest colour of the colour circle and will be associated with depression.
These are just some few meanings of blue. Of course, it depends which shade of blue and the colours next to it.

Of course, they do. But for lay people colour theory is more or less about surface colours, but as important are light colours. Well, looking on the screen now you see light colours. The laws of light colours are different. Infrared and ultraviolet are a special group of colours which are more like the light colours. But actually, we should speak about electromagnetic waves. The colours we see are a little part of these electromagnetic waves and following the laws of waves.

Dear Randall
It was in the Middle Ages when it started that colour was systematically used as a language. The church decided the meaning of every colour. And painters knew that warm colours communicate foreground and cold colours background f.e. As most of the ‘normal’ folks couldn’t write a lot was communicated with pictures, so colour became an important factor of communication. Today it is advertising which uses the subliminal power of colour and its meaning.
Kb likes to draw Siri and Selma. Well, actually, he can’t draw, but he loves it nevertheless.

Farben sind stets polar, d.h. symbolisch gesehen, haben sie eine positive und negative Seite.
Natürlich sind Schwarz und Weiß Farben. Es stammt von den Impressionisten, dass Schwarz nur unter dem Aspekt der Absorption und Weiß nur als Reflexion gesehen wurde. Aber wenn du eine Tür Weiß streichen willst, ist Weiß eine Farbe wie jede andere z.B. Alle Farben. sind “Freuden und Leiden des Lichts” wie Goethe es ausdrückte.
