I watched a friends' house being pulled down today . He's over 65 years old and i thought he had bought the property in recent years . I was wrong . We were all having good jokes and watching the place being torn to shreds when his sister yelled out "OMG look it's the green paint" . My friend began tearing up . I was confused until he told me that his dad was colour blind...........I'm thinking and ?

Well it turns out that this place was where he and his family came for holidays when they were children. ( I didn't know that)

His father painted the interior of the house bright green............To the dad ...being colour blind, he thought the colour was an 'off white'. And no one could tell him different. Well when the wall was split the floodgates of personal history and tears happened.

So after it was all finished I picked up a piece of 'green painted- 'off white' coloured wall, that had been hidden for a long long time and thought I would frame it, since it caused such emotion.

Now here is where I need help ......I need a quote about colour or colour blindness or colour in the world, or art that I can put in the frame to go with this piece of wall.

So if any of you can help I'd much appreciate it.

Cool story!

An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight... the truly wise person is colorblind.

How about the last verse of Kermit's signature song?

ARTIST: Muppets

TITLE: It's Not Easy Being Green

Lyrics

It's not that easy being green

Having to spend each day the color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold

Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green

It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things

And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're

Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water

Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of Spring

And green can be cool and friendly-like

And green can be big like an ocean, or important

Like a mountain, or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be

It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why

Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful

And I think it's what I want to be
