Ochre
Do you want to use this color in your promotional items? Here's what you should know!
Ochre is a brownish yellow. The color is symbolic of being flexible and moldable as well as open to possibilities and willing to adapt to new situations.
The clay that shares this color’s name has been called an “ancient pigment” and “the world’s first red paint.” It was used in native Australia for body decoration, sun protection, cave painting, and even to preserve animal or human skin.
Examples of Ochre Symbolism
You have to be open-minded to buy into science fiction stories. Dune tells the story of a planet that becomes a desert wasteland, yet is home to a mind-altering drug called melange. This drug is an ochre-colored powder that prolongs life and gives you a heightened sense of awareness.
Pottery has been part of New Mexico history since the land was occupied by Ancient Puebloans. Today, New Mexico State University has an ochre colored roof with open, adaptable minds underneath ready to learn!
You may make a mistake, but when you create your own pottery, you have to be adaptable. Give it a try at one of Color Me Mine’s 140 locations across the United States. Their Facebook logo is a round, ochre colored plate.
Sometimes one color just isn’t enough! Ochre works best with any of these other colors.
