COLOR TRANSFORM:


 Abanero Pepper  http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/vegetables/caribbean_habanero_pepper.jpg


            When I start to think about colors I also I start to think about food, especially on spicy food and peppers.  Colors play a major role on peppers because colors are being use to describe how spicy a peppers is. The Scoville Rating is the scale used to determinate the peppers hotness. The way colors are incorporated to peppers is that the hotter the peppers are the redder the pepper in color is.  They way I see it connects to colors is that somehow the hotter the pepper the redder the pepper gets and also it gets redder in the the Scoville Rating. So I see that somehow the color red is seems to be as an alert color. Red in the world is use as an alert color. Humans tend to see that as a color that can affect humans in a way. For example, the stop signs on the street, the traffic light, or red alarm on a siren. Having the color red in does designs can in a way use to signified something needs to show awareness, alert, or just need to grab attention.  Red and other colors like yellow to grab attention in a way that humans see as something to be aware or to be carful about something.  In another words, when in comes to be careful about something or just to pay attention to something, the best way to grab human attention is by using red or yellow. In Albers book it talks about how red and yellow colors are describe as Warm colors.  Warm colors transmit a feeling or something to show hotness. At the end the way colors connect to peppers is because red is a warm color and can be use to describe spiciness and the dangerous a pepper can be.
