Colors

Red.
This image was taken outside of the hotel we stayed at in Jaipur. This Indian violin (or whatever the instrument is) made such a unique sound, but what caught my attention more was his clothes. His outfit is such a beautiful deep colored red that I feel is distinctly Indian.



Red-Orange.
I consider the flag hanging outside the front of the temple to be red-orange. It was easy for me to distinguish that because the more plain orange colored flag on the temple was a point of reference. The man sitting inside is also wearing what I would consider to be plain orange. So many oranges in one picture!



Orange.
The welcoming flowers they presented to us at the Taj hotel in Jaipur were such a vibrant orange color. Putting the lei on really made me feel like I was finally in India! Having the flowers in this color made the experience so much more enjoyable than if they were a dull color.



Yellow-Orange.
This image is of a woman standing near where we got on for the elephant ride Jaipur. The yellow-orange color of her sari makes her hard to miss in a crowd! I should also note that the sun was boiling that day, so you can't blame her for covering her face from the sun.



Yellow.
This yellow corn photo was taken at the restaurant Rajwadu in our last night in Ahmedabad. I found it hard finding a plain yellow color in India, because i feel that most yellow colors of clothing are more of a yellow-orange. Luckily I found some corn!



Yellow-Green.
This image is of a native Indian woman wearing a yellow-green sari. Oh wait, that's just me! I was drawn to this sari for the beautiful color that jumped right at me in the store.



Green.
I have taken many pictures of grass in India, and I think this was the greenest of them all! The location of this was at the Observatory in Jaipur. It is hard imagining how it stays so green when the sun is SO hot there, and they have had little rainfall from the monsoon.



Blue-Green.
This painted blue-green square was found on the a gateway decoration of Amir's Palace. This turquoise color is one of my all time favorites! It is no wonder a king would want it used to decorate his palace.


Blue.
This painted tile is of the hindu god Krishna taken on a wall in Old Ahmedabad. Krishna, I have noticed, is often portrayed as blue. I'm not sure why that is, but it seems to be a working for him!


Blue-Violet.
I found it difficult to find a good blue-violet photo in my albums, but I saw this one and noticed the blue-violet trim on the elephant covering. It is so fasinating that even the animals get to be dressed in vibrant colors!



Violet.
This flower was the first rich colored violet I had seen. I have seen a lot of other flowers in the purple family, however much of them tended to be on the lighter, lavender side of the spectrum.



Red-Violet:
The big red-violet stone was shown to us when we got an inside look of a jewelry store in Jaipur. I'm not sure what the name of the stone is or whether it is precious or semi precious. Either way it is gorgeous and will make a beautiful piece of jewelry!


Analogous Colors.
These analogous colors were found in my complimentary fruit (HA) in Jaipur. The colors of this mango are slightly different from what I usually eat at home, which are green with red instead of yellow.


Complimentary Colors.
I found these two girls at the Qutub Minar in Delhi. Without thinking that they were wearing colors which complimented each other, there clothes immediately convinced me that I needed a picture.
