Colors Quotes

Vincent van Gogh

Suffice it to say that black and white are also colors... for their simultaneous contrast is as striking as that of green and red, for instance

I am crazy about two colors: carmine and cobalt. Cobalt is a divine color and there is nothing so beautiful for creating atmosphere. Carmine is as warm and lively as wine... the same with emerald green.

How lovely yellow is! It stands for the sun.

There is no blue without yellow and without orange, and if you put in blue, then you must put in yellow, and orange too, mustn't you? Oh well, you will tell me that what I write to you are only banalities.
