Did you know...

Mesquitos are attracted to dark blue, red and brown. They avoid yellow, orange and white. If you're hiking, it would do you best to wear yellow, orange or white and avoid khaki or blue denim. Just FYI.

When building your house, a lighter colored roof will keep your rooms below cooler and conserve energy. White reflects the radiant energy rays of the sun and black absorbs them. Why does everyone in Logandale use dark shingles? For example: on a 90 degree clear day, a white roof has a temp of 110 degrees, an aluminum coated roof 140 degrees, and a black roof 190 degrees. "That makes quite a difference when it comes to heating and cooling bills", says my book :) If large metropolitan areas increased the reflectivity of roofs and surfaces in thier area, they could save $10 billion dollars in energy & equipment costs.

When meeting someone, a lasting impression is made within 90 seconds. Color accounts for 60% of the acceptance or rejection of an object or person.

There are 2 color bases of complexion: yellow based & blue based. Yellow based complexions look better in autumn colors, browns, turquoise, yellow-greens & accessories with a gold hue (which totally explains why i want a gold wedding ring! yes pleeeeeease :D hey, a girl can dream.) Blue based complexions look best in blues, bluish greens, bluish pinks, red, black, white and charcoal gray, with silver accessories.

what do ya think?
