The human eye naturally perceives six different colors in a rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. These colors are vital bases for everyone, artists and non-artists alike, and have a way of making someone feel an emotion. This collection displays 8 pieces conveying one main colors throughout the work. The extra 2 pieces are white and black ones. White and black are such common colors, while they are obviously not found in a rainbow, they are found almost everywhere around us. These two colors deserved to be appreciated as well. Enjoy!
