The Importance of Color


Imagine a world with only black, white, and more black. Boring, right? Color is important because it basically gives your life meaning. Without it, you would be bored all the time, thinking that everything is so dumb because it has no character or life to it. Color is what makes us want to live.
You wouldn't even want to wake up in the morning, because you know there is nothing to look forward to. Color gives everything a kind of vibrant life, which motivates us to do things. For example, if you had a garden, with many different flowers, you wouldn't see the beautiful colors.
Color also helps you distinguish things. For instance, if you stood two people who were the exact same height and weight, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell them apart if you looked at the back of their heads.
Another thing is the amount of appeal it has to you. An example: if you were eating a meal, like breakfast, your toast and jelly wouldn’t look very appetizing if it was just black and white. If you saw a rainbow, it wouldn’t want to make you snap a photo, because it was the same as everything else.
That’s another thing—sameness. It would feel so dull to see the same things every single day. To eat the same colored stuff every day. To wear the same clothes every day.
 If I lived in the Community, I would really miss waking up to a colorful world. If I looked out my window, and all I saw was a black, white, and gray world, I would feel like going back to sleep and never waking up again.
Wouldn’t that be so boring? That’s why we have color. It is fun, not boring, and we won’t feel like there has never been a change of anything, or never will be for as long as we will ever know. In conclusion, I think that without color the world would be boring, lifeless, and ugly.

  1. I like how your essay is very descriptive. But if the world never had any color, then it couldn't really be boring because we wouldn't know that color ever existed.

  2. This is from a book, Lauren. It was a world where no one saw color except for a boy and an old man.
