What is the Colour of the Wind?

I immediately think of songs like that Pocahontas song, “Colours of the Wind” or the old time Boys to Men classic “Colours of Love” – both the wind and love are things that cannot be seen, but felt.
Both wind and love can be seen more, depending on the intensity of it. By this I mean if it really windy, as in a South Easter galore happening, you are bound to see some poor lady hanging for her life on some lamp post in the heart of the CBD with all her belongings flying across the streets of Cape Town. When someone is in love or is being loved very deeply by someone else, it is something that immediately shows (I’m sure reading this last sentence is taking you back to those days where you had just met your first love and what an amazing feeling it was to be so in love without a care in the world and you absolutely loved it when someone said to you “I can see you’re in love!”).
It is so easy to put colours to certain “intangible” things. I asked around the office what they think certain colours mean and majority came up with the same answers:Red – danger/stopYellow – friendshipGreen – goPink – queer/happyGold – wealthYet when I asked about the colour of wind I got a bit of a blank stare with unsure responses like:“I think white…ja, not sure…” and then a look into the distance as if a colour was about to appear of the breeze coming in.“What is the colour of the wind? See-through of cause!” and then back to work, quite chuffed with the answer she had given me.
I guess all interpretations are dependent on how far you allow your imagination to run with you. For me the colour of the wind differs according to how it feels, if it’s an icy cold wind then I think of and icy blue colour, if it’s a hot summer’s breeze, I see light shades of yellow, orange and red. The South Easter however is like a whole mixture of mismatched colours!
