Well, I was born into the vibrant world of color...in fact the first color I saw was green, and from what people tell me, I was purple(ish) in appearance!The second two colors seen were of course...black & white (stars from being slapped on the bottom)!
From then on every smell, taste and touch had a color attached to it...I still have memories of rolling in the fields by my first house, bright grass green will always have a special place in my head (nose)...
My first summer job in high school was matching ink colors to paint samples, and boy was that magical. Twisting and turning the batch of color into a magical mix. That laboratory looked like the factory in Willy Wonka, but more colorful!
As I got to working age, I ventured more closely into the professional realm of color...being surrounded by at least one thousand hues per day at Pantone checking color standards in spectrophtometer against actual statistical data....Sound too much? Well logos have to maintain exact fonts and color design all over the world for all companies. And corporate color for packaging must match their colors for t-shirts and any merchandise they have for promotions or anything really....
My favorite word for many years was 'infringement'! Unknown companies claiming they were the real company by using their corporate colors. NOT allowed! Think Tiffany Blue being used by another jewelry company...A legal no-no!
