Håper er lysegrønt!

Mannen min og jeg har hatt en lang varig diskusjon om hvorvidt håpets farge er lysegrønt... Han mente nemlig at håpets farge var lyseblå. Nå skal det sies til hans forsvar at han har vokst opp i en annen verdensdel. Når vi diskuterer slike ting er det irriterende ofte at han har rett, men her var jeg som er oppvokst med Aleksander Kielland ganske sikker i min sak. Min manns argument var dog ganske betagende, han mente nemlig at fargen på FN uniformene var lyseblå fordi det var håpets farge:) Men uttrykket kommer altså fra en novelle av Aleksander Kielland som ble utgitt i 1879. Grønn er en av de 5 fargene jeg bruker mest jeg forbinder den med ro og behag å så er den som sommerfugler, man kan bruke den til det meste av anledninger og til begge kjønn:) så da ble det en grønn sommerfugl på en håpefull grønn bakgrunn på en ellers litt mollefunkel  dag:)


Sommerfugl stempel og die fra Tim Holtz. Tekst

  7. Blue or green -- they are both equally beautiful! I thought the color of hope is yellow -- so hope can be whatever color one chooses I guess :) I would like to think hope is all the colors of the rainbow! Your card is beautiful and I love how your image fits so well with the background.
