Colors of the day......

"People observe the colors of a day only at it's beginnings and it's ends, but it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of a thousand different colors... I make it a point to notice them."

The color white represents innocence and new life. It also represents winter... the death of a child.

Red is a symbol of blood and death.

Black represents death, evil. darkness
