Here are some more information for Course Color:
Color can be both light and matter. In fact, color connects the worlds of light and matter - two worlds that are worlds apart on their own. In German mythology, color also connected worlds: the bridge between the human and the Godly world was a rainbow. It was named "bilrost" - roughly translated, that means: 'hovering platform', a thing that automatically takes you to places - much like a 'car' for the soul.
Color actually has a connection to the world of electricity and machines. As a sensory perception, color represents a small section of the electromagnetical spectrum, that we can actually see. We don't only respond to colors when we see them, but also when our skin is exposed to them. When a blind person enters a red room, his/her heartbeat will increase. And when babies don't get blue light on their skin, they risk developing rachitis (a bone-disforming disease). But color can also be connected to mood or psychology.
The quality of color, as a sensory perception, is not really explained by physical science. Unless you're satisfied with explanations like "color is light with a specific wavelength". This is true, of course (and great for building color TV's), but it doesn't tell you anything about the essence or the quality of colors. Some argue it's categorically impossible to define the quality of color in a deliberate way. But I think it's possible, with the help of Goethean color theory.
Goethe's hypothesis was: color is created when darkness and light interact, within a transparant form of matter (a 'medium' like air, water or glass). When light has the active role in this interaction, you see a blue or violet color. When darkness has the active role, you see yellow, orange or red.
When the sun sets, it shines through ever more troubled (darkened) layers of air. Close to the earth, there is much more dust and moisture in the air. When the sun starts to shine through that, it looks yellow. When it sets further, it turns from orange, to red, and when there's a very clear sky, you can see a carmine sun.
Blues can be seen when the atmosphere is lit completely, and the sky is clear. When we're looking at a vast area of transparent air, with darkness behind it, we see a blue sky. If we go up, with a balloon or a plane, that blue goes ever darker and more violet, as the lit atmosphere between us and the darkness gets thinner.
When you look through a prisma, you see things on another spot as where they originally were. You might in your prisma be looking at a dark painting on a white wall, that's hanging somewhere on your far left. In the prisma, this painting has colored edges. On the right, that will be red/orange/yellow. The dark spot moved to gain terrain, on that side. But where it pulled away, where the light spot moved forward, you'll see a blue edge. So, red/orange/yellow are about active darkness and passive light, while turquoise/blue/violet are about active light and passive darkness.
We can translate this 'dark' and 'light' into human capacities. Light, color and darkness can be compared to the human capacities of thinking, feeling and acting. So you might say that reds are about activity: first then act, then to reflect on that action. And there's a whole range of them, from light to dark: yellow, orange, orange-red, scarlet red and carmine. Yellow is more like: creative talking (like a salesman). Orange is about active feeling. Orange red can be interpreted as: taking physical action. And carmine, that deep dark red, can be seen as: the body being active - or, activities connected to basic vegetative bodily processes: digesting food, sleeping, nurturing, physical love (either sensual or motherly). Meditating carmine red is very good when you can't sleep.
The blues, turquoise, cobalt blue, ultramarine and violet, can be connected to the more reflective side of our psyche: first to think, than to act. Perception. Turquoise is about lots of light: intellect, or having intensified sensations. Turquoise people have very intense experiences. Light cobalt blue is more about, just to see things in their natural light, the way they are. Light cobalt blue is a very healthy color, both physically and mentally. Ultramarine is about, seeing how the light is going away. A certain sense of tragedy can be involved. It's the kind of feelings men can have within themselves, totally overlooked by their women friends (women's feelings are much more active: gold or reddish orange).
Of course, this sense of color can deepen very much by relative painting exercises, and by meditating colors. But the key is: light, color and darkness - compared to thinking, feeling and acting.

Black or Color Ink
You may not have even given this one a thought, should I have my tattoo done in black ink or color ink? Well of course that decision is up to you and what you want. But there are a few little things you should know before you make that decisions. One of them being if you decide to get color ink your tattoo will cost more, so if you are looking to pinch pennies when getting a tattoo than I would go with black. Also I don’t know this from experience because all my tattoos are done in black ink, but I think a color tattoo may hurt a little more because more needles are used when tattooing with color ink.
Another great tip you should be aware of is that if you get color ink it tends to fade a lot faster than black ink. So you might be making several trips to your tattoo parlor over the years to get your tattoo touched up. If you are dead set on getting a color tattoo just make sure to keep it covered up and out of the sun as much as possible. Also if it will be exposed to sun make sure that you put at least a 30 SPF on it. Of course whether you decide to get your tat in color or black ink is totally up to you and there is no right or wrong when it comes to making this decision. As with any tattoo just make sure you are certain about your design and that you have found a good artist that will satisfy your needs.

Is it true that your eyebrows are the same color as your pubic hair?
And that the color of your eyebrows and pubic hair is independent of the color of the hair on your head? I'm talking natural color, not dyed hair, of course. You don't notice the difference in yourself because you can't see your own eyebrows, but it seems to be that way with other people, especially blonds, but not auburn hair.
You people, honestly. I do have a mirror, and I know it's true for me. I'm just questioning whether it's generally true. It's the difference between head hair and the other two I was curious about (without ripping people's clothes off to see).
Haha most of the other people's answer here makes me laugh... Erm.... I guess for Caucasians, you might notice different colours, but as for asians like me, it's the same colour... Black!
