Color Scheme : Purple


This weekend, the Neo-Soul singer Erykah Bady debuted her video for Window Seat, the single from her new album that drops on Tuesday. People will go on and on about the appropriateness of the video which defeats the whole purpose of the message behind it. My favorite part has to be in the end when the words GROUP THINK spill out on the ground. This is a small reference to 1984, a CLASSIC book written by George Orwell. Typical group think mentality will definitely not help you understand her message.

Badu was trying to express herself as an individual who appreciates art, and not surprisingly people who enjoy the color purple are the same way. CHaa ching!

Purple is a a lot of things: It's mysterious, romantic, spiritual, and royal. It's also a feminine color, but there's not set rule that makes a color feminine or masculine.
