Emotions a Collector goes through

The colour of emotions. Within my practical I am thinking of using colour as a symbol of emotions, so I thought that I would look into the different colours of which emotions they portray and how they relate to the Collector. 


- Jealousy (Jealousy system; When someone has the toy that they want) 

- Love (Objectum Sexuals. Or a more innocent level of love/appreciation of the toy/obsession) 
- Anxiety, depression (Some collections are triggered by suffering or something bad happening in their past) 
 - Happiness/Joy (from owning the collecting, completing a set, possessing the object) 

Here's one example of the meaning of colours:

Another example: 

"yellow is the color of the mind and the intellect. It is optimistic and cheerful. However it can also suggest impatience, criticism and cowardice.

Green is the color of balance and growth. It can mean both self-reliance as a positive and possessiveness as a negative, among many other meanings.

Blue is the color of trust and peace. It can suggest loyalty and integrity as well as conservatism and frigidity. 

Indigo is the color of intuition. In the meaning of colors it can mean idealism and structure as well as ritualistic and addictive.    

The color meaning of turquoise is communication and clarity of mind. It can also be impractical and idealistic.

The color psychology of pink is unconditional love and nurturing. Pink can also be immature, silly and girlish.

In the meaning of colors, magenta is a color of universal harmony and emotional balance. It is spiritual yet practical, encouraging common sense and a balanced outlook on life.

Gold is the color of success, achievement and triumph. Associated with abundance and prosperity, luxury and quality, prestige and sophistication, value and elegance, the color psychology of gold implies affluence, material wealth and extravagance.

White is color at its most complete and pure, the color of perfection. The color meaning of white is purity, innocence, wholeness and completion.

Black is the color of the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, creating an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden from the world."
