When we slow down enough to truly look, a single colour can become an entire world.

We spend our lives surrounded by hues — on screens, in fabrics, in the natural world — but rarely give them our full attention. Yet colour is not a surface phenomenon; it’s vibration. Each shade carries a specific frequency that interacts with our body and mood in ways both subtle and profound.

Sitting with one colour — just one — invites the mind to rest and the senses to deepen. In Light Literacy™, this is called colour attunement: entering into resonance with a wavelength until its quality begins to echo inside us.

Try this:
Find a quiet spot and choose a colour that feels alive to you today. It might come from a flower, a scarf, or even light filtering through a window. Soften your gaze and breathe slowly.
Notice how the body responds. Does the breath expand? Does a memory arise? Does your mood shift, even slightly?

Within a minute or two, you may feel a subtle change — the chatter quiets, and perception sharpens. The colour begins to show its intelligence. Red might ground you, yellow may lift you, green can open the chest like fresh air through leaves.

This is not imagination; it’s relationship. You are remembering how to speak with the spectrum.

Stay for a few moments longer than feels comfortable. The deeper layers of meaning often unfold in that extra breath of stillness. When you finally close your eyes, notice what remains — a warmth, a tone, a gentle afterglow behind the eyelids. That residue is coherence settling in.

What happens when we sit with a single colour?
We begin to remember that light was never separate from us — we simply forgot how to listen.
