Black is not a color.
I’m a woman of color, but I have so many different cultures inside of me.
Those differences are what color the performance, but in the movies you don’t get a chance to rehearse.
I have both Swedish and Iranian cultures ingrained in me, so that’s always there. Plus my love of the U.S. began early on. But growing up in Sweden as one of the few people of color around was not easy by any means.

We have got to move away from the concept of race and color because that is what apartheid is. We cannot end apartheid if we retain these concepts.
If a person is homosexual by nature – that is, if one’s sexuality is as intrinsic a part of one’s identity as gender or skin color – then society can no more deny a gay person access to the secular rights and religious sacraments because of his homosexuality than it can reinstate Jim Crow.
Our religion does not discriminate according to color, sex or anything else. What counts is piety and faith.
I like to write about painting because I think visually. I see my writing as blocks of color before it forms itself. I think I also care about painting because I’m not musical. Painting to me is not a metaphor for writing, but something people do that can never be reduced to words.
I don’t think the mainstream media understands people of color are multidimensional. For some reason, there’s an idea that only white people are relatable. I don’t think it’s necessarily racist. But it’s odd, because the people who watch the most television are black women, so we should be represented in more ways.
On the one hand, there is no reason that a black person needs to live a portion of his or her life being concerned about the people of color around him. On the other hand, if you don’t you’re crazy.

I think purple is a great color.
Race and sexual preferences are two different things. One is a behavior-related and preference-related and one is something inherently – skin color, something obvious, that kind of stuff.
Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn’t matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.
Gray goes with gold. Gray goes with all colors. I’ve done gray-and-red paintings, and gray and orange go so well together. It takes a long time to make gray because gray has a little bit of color in it.
Red has always been my color, because red stands out.
Color does not add a pleasant quality to design – it reinforces it.
For my prom I really wanted to wear a bright color – something that was going to pop and stand out.
The Army has carried the American ideal to its logical conclusion. Not only do they prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, creed and color, but also on ability.
If whiteness were of no particular advantage, then having a fuller color wheel of skin tones would be purely a matter of celebration. But whiteness – just a drop of it – does still carry privilege. You learn that very young in America.
I never really dyed my hair anything significant from my natural hair color.
I don’t usually like a smoky eye; if there is any smokiness, it’s got to be a light color.

Even though my mother had told me growing up that, ‘If you win, nobody cares what color you are,’ that wasn’t necessarily true in the N.F.L.

I now have great color sprinkled throughout my herd.
Every American president must be held to the highest standard. No president of any color should be given a free pass for screw-ups, lies or failure to keep a promise.
I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature – the very thought of it drives me mad.
It’s a dirty little secret that I’m pretty self-conscious about coloring my own work. I just see so many people who love color more than me that I get freaked out every time I hit Photoshop. Black and white? I know exactly what to do, but color offers a million solutions to problems I don’t even know exist.
The way it works for me is my sight and sound senses are combined. Every sound I associate with a color and every color I associate with a sound… The way I see things is constant streamers across the room, bouncing off from every touch and every sound. Over the years, I’ve learned what color palates I love most.
I tend to play every color in the Southern rainbow, and the challenge is to make each character different so I’m not doing any generic ‘Southern acting.’
The moon is bland in color. I call it shades of gray. You know, the only color we see is what we bring or the Earth, which is looking down upon us all the time. And to find orange soil on the moon was a surprise.
God does not discriminate against people, regardless of color, religion, social class, or gender and sexual preferences.

Far too often, I have been accepted or rejected for work because of the color of my skin.
Capucci was the biggest schooling I had. It wasn’t just about the technical knowledge, such as color and volume, but also about the secret rules, and the beautiful codes of respect between the atelier and the master.
You think you’re looking at things all the time, but you’re not looking at things, you’re looking at what your brain is interpreting through light and color. And who knows what everybody else sees?
Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.
Hair color is just an expression of something different that you want to have, or something creative.
My quick beauty tip is always have a tinted gloss of some kind to give you some color even if you have no makeup on.
I’m a very big fan of winter-flowering shrubs and bulbs. You have the smell, you have the color – it’s really like a present from God when something like that is in flower in the middle of the snow.
I am a believer that color affects people’s moods.
I have loved corsets since I was small. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to an exhibition, and they had a corset on display. I loved the flesh color, the salmon satin, the lace.

I’m gonna do the whole bedroom in camel color – it’s an old lady color.
The color of truth is gray.
Every white liberal straight man needs to take action and work at unifying all peoples of our sides and stop making women and people of color and the LGBT community fight it out themselves and just pat them on the back. We have to take active roles in supporting them, defending them, and hiring them.
People of color have a constant frustration of not being represented, or being misrepresented, and these images go around the world.
All action is for the sake of some end; and rules of action, it seems natural to suppose, must take their whole character and color from the end to which they are subservient.
