Our class was asked write down the colours Red, Blue, Green, White and Black each as headings, and to write down underneath all the things that remind us of that colour. We all then shared what we put down and combined our lists. These were our lists:
RED

Crabs
Lobsters

All these words are connotations of colour, and all the connotations in each list seem to contradict each other. For example: Red connoting ‘Love’ and ‘Violence’, or Blue connoting ‘Calm’ and ‘Depression’.
