“I cannot pretend to be impartial about the colors. I rejoice with the brilliant ones and am genuinely sorry for the poor browns”
— Zadie Smith
Simplified Meaning:
Some people have strong feelings and preferences for bright, vibrant colors over dull, plain ones. For example, think about how a person might feel happier and more excited when they see a bright rainbow after a storm compared to a cloudy, gray sky. They feel joy when they see colors like red or yellow because these colors make them feel energetic and happy. On the other hand, they might feel a bit sad when they see colors like brown because these colors seem boring and lifeless to them. This shows how different colors can affect our emotions, making us feel different things. Someone who loves colorful things might decorate their home with lots of bright, cheerful colors to feel more positive and lively every day.
