Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the Glossolalia project in the aspects that deal with color. Since color is intrinsic to the creation of any designed product and is essential in the process of recognition, perception and communication, it determines the semantics of a given object. In establishing the meanings of color, the aspects that are addressed encompass a broad gamut that include neurology, vision and illumination and the interactions of light and color in the understanding of the nature of design at stake as well as the cultural context. A multidisciplinary approach allows other qualities to be addressed, such as synesthetic reactions to color, communicative variables, color terminology, aesthetics as well as historic and cultural embedding. This essay will address some of these dimensions on the color blue in Western culture.

Some (non academic) authors refer as impossible the use of woad to tattoo and paint the body (and the hair), arguing that this pigment, although natural, produces serious skin burns (that are in no way blue). They suggest that the Celtic used copper and iron to produce blue and black, respectively, and not woad.
