Color Studies

Blue

Connection With Nature:

Blue is calming. It can be strong and steadfast or light and friendly. Almost everyone likes some shade of the color blue. In 1999 Pantone named the sky blue color of Cerulean as the color of the new millennium. Pantone selected the color Blue Iris as the 2008 Color of the Year telling us: "Combining the stable and calming aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple, Blue Iris satisfies the need for reassurance in a complex world, while adding a hint of mystery and excitement."
A natural color, from the blue of the sky, it is a universal color.
The color blue is one of trust, honesty and loyalty. It is sincere, reserved and quiet, and doesn't like to make a fuss or draw attention.
The color of ocean and sky, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. As the collective color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming.

Dolphin

Playful, friendly, intelligent, and social,  the Dolphin's long held reputation and popularity speaks for itself,which makes the Dolphin the perfect symbol for the number 3.  Those who have a number 3 birthday also share the same qualities and characteristics of the Dolphin that's usually easy to spot, because just like dolphins, most have a way of being seen and heard!

Dolphin personalities are the ones who bring in the fun, and have a way of lightening up any social

situation, with jokes or funny stories or anecdotes, and sometimes, antics.  Endowed with a way with

words, Dolphins are youthful looking people who generally have good writing and verbal skills, and can be somewhat talkative when the mood hits.Though they tend to have a bubbly and cheerful outlook on life, it's not always fun and games with them.  Dolphins tend to be very ambitious and proud people, and desire above all else to achieve something to show for their hard work and effort. They also tend to aspire to great heights, and to inspire others with their creativeness and upbeat optimism.However, the Dolphin personality is also prone to over-optimism and unrealistic expectations of themselves and others, which can sometimes lead to immature and irresponsible behavior when things don't go their way - not excluding whining, and temper tantrums.  Since music is a form of expression, most Dolphins are drawn to music, but also have a tendency to excel in all areas of entertainment, such as acting, and other performance arenas, because no one can put on a better show!  Whether it's in the classroom or the courtroom, the Dolphins rule when results need to be seen, and bring in the results, they do.Being the social creatures they are, most Dolphin people make friends easily and may have a whole array of friends from all walks of life.

 A good name and a good reputation is important to Dolphins, although they can at times seem childish, irresponsible, self-centered, vain, and boastful...but when you're good, doesn't that just come with the territory!  Even with their faults, imagine life without the fun and the party Dolphin people bring to life.

Characteristic of Dolphin:

Youthful, active, verbal, writing, music, drama, ambition, children, creative, fun, talkative, optimistic, birth, productive, social, performance, laughter, cheerful, good communicator, acting, entertainment, put on a good show,

Facial Expression

Cosmetics (colloquially known as makeup or make-up) are care substances used to enhance the appearance or odor of the human body. They are generally mixtures of chemical compound, some being derived from natural sources, many being synthetic.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which regulates cosmetics, defines cosmetics as "intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions." This broad definition includes, as well, any material intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product. The FDA specifically excludes soap from this category.

Color or colour (see spelling differences) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, green, blue, and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space, colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates.
Because perception of color stems from the varying spectral sensitivity of different types of cone cells in the retina to different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells. These physical or physiological quantifications of color, however, do not fully explain the psychophysical perception of color appearance.
The science of color is sometimes called chromatics, chromatography, colorimetry, or simply color science. It includes the perception of color by the human eye and brain, the origin of color in materials, color theory in art, and the physics of electromagnetic radiation in the visible range (that is, what we commonly refer to simply as light).
A facial expression is one or more motions or positions of the muscles in the skin. These movements convey the emotional state of the individual to observers. Facial expressions are a form of nonverbal communication. They are a primary means of conveying social information among humans, but also occur in most other mammals and some other animal species.
Humans can adopt a facial expression to read as a voluntary action. However, because expressions are closely tied to emotion, they are more often involuntary. It can be nearly impossible to avoid expressions for certain emotions, even when it would be strongly desirable to do so;^{[citation needed]} a person who is trying to avoid insulting an individual he or she finds highly unattractive might nevertheless show a brief expression of disgust before being able to reassume a neutral expression.^{[citation needed]} Microexpressions are one example of this phenomenon. The close link between emotion and expression can also work in the other direction; it has been observed that voluntarily assuming an expression can actually cause the associated emotion (Schnall & Laird, 2003; Soussignan, 2002 as cited in Papa & Bonanno, 2008).
Some expressions can be accurately interpreted even between members of different species- anger and extreme contentment being the primary examples. Others, however, are difficult to interpret even in familiar individuals. For instance, disgust and fear can be tough to tell apart.^{[citation needed]}
Because faces have only a limited range of movement, expressions rely upon fairly minuscule differences in the proportion and relative position of facial features, and reading them requires considerable sensitivity to same. Some faces are often falsely read as expressing some emotion, even when they are neutral, because their proportions naturally resemble those another face would temporarily assume when emoting.
