Colours and what they represent
Millie
The woman in this picture is wearing a (1)_____ dress and a pair of (2)______ shoes. She is carrying a white bag too. This is interesting because red and white are very different colours.
Red represents (3)______ and (4)_______. Maybe she feels weak and that is why she is wearing red—she just wants to make herself look more powerful.
White represents (5)_____and (6)_______. She may hope that the colour white could help her calm down.
I think the woman must feel a little bit stressed, and she hopes these colours will change that. Red and white are a good match, as the powerful (7) ____balances the calm (8) ______.
