The Silverbloggers Chronicles #01: Yellow ☀️🌻💛
(Edited)
Yellow
It would be very easy for me, who has lived all my life in a city surrounded by the sea, to say that my favorite color is blue, with all its shades, from the emerald blue that colors the Caribbean Sea to the indigo blue with which the inland sea is painted. I would argue that blue has always been a horizon, a sky and even the beginning of a poem I learned as a child (Blue of that distant summit over which my thoughts fly). But no, my favorite color is yellow, the one we find in the sun, in the earth, in gold, in sunflowers, in the golden spike.
In Venezuela there is a tradition regarding the birth of a baby: if a newborn is a girl, everything is dressed and decorated in pink; if it is a boy, everything is blue. In my family there is a legend that since it used to be impossible to know the gender of the child before birth, my mother bought everything in yellow because according to her, yellow is unisex.
I would like to tell you an extraordinary story about why yellow is my favorite color and not other colors. An extraordinary story full of mysteries and great revelations, like the day I was born I arrived wrapped in a thin layer of gold, or that yellow gives me superpowers. But no, I like yellow as much as I like salty things or the scent of coconut.
It was that taste that made me decide, when I turned 15, to wear a yellow dress and not a pink one like most quinceañeras at the time. I remember my mother objecting: “Yellow is so unisex, Nancy, so unfeminine”. And I don't think so. Colors are colors and we are the ones who nurture them with symbolism. For me, yellow can represent light, tranquility, fun, energy.
I have a friend who has a problem with yellow foods: he can't tolerate them. He can't eat butter, yellow cheese, eggs, or fruits of that color. I, on the other hand, am currently doing the math: I love beer, mangoes, camburs, butter, oils, corn, pineapple, lemons...
A song that I love, and is one of my favorites by Coldplay, is Yellow. I would like that when people see me, they only see that color. That if they look at the color yellow, they remember me. And that the day I die, they see me as that sun that hides on the horizon, that before saying goodbye dyes the sky with golden colors and leaves a clarity that steals your breath.

Thank you very much for the information
You've got this @nancybriti1! Keep putting in the effort and you'll reach your target in no time.
All colors should look great on you. But yellow will undoubtedly have more impact on you, as it is a color of energy and expansion. Best regards, @nancybriti1.
Thanks for that compliment, @josemalavem. I think yellow more than a color, it's a state, a way of looking at life. A hug for you 🫂
Thanks for the support, @ibbtammy. Success to the entire @ecency team.
Thanks so much for the support, @silverbloggers friends.
You are very welcome
I just been once in your part of the world, but definitely get your feeling of that "choice". And with your style/way i can see for a while now here with the Silverbloggers, i guess your aura sure shines in yellow to... probably even trough other colours. Hehehe.
What a beautiful message, my friend. Thank you so much! I hope this month that starts today has a beautiful light for you. Greetings🌻
How wonderful! The color of lemons and sunflowers is truly one of the happiest and sweetest colors!
I think so!!! You look very full of blue, my friend. So full of serenity, peace, harmony. Hugs
Golden light is the best to photograph in, as well. Whether its the afternoon glow, or a sunrise, the low angles and shadows give everything a bit more detail.
If it wasn't yellow, what would the next colour down the chain be for you?
The green one! In all shades and tones. I find green so beautiful. And your color would be, my friend? I hope you can participate in this initiative. Greetings🌻
Its a couple of colours, dark, lush, forest green, purple and gold. All of them together are so great.
So something that ends up being a combination of these loosely connected harmonies. I try to use these tones as much as possible in my photography!

You are very welcome, Nancy! Thank you for joining the Silver Bloggers chronicles :)
Well Guy Berryman the bassist for Coldplay grew up in the town of Kirkcaldy where I live now. But he actually went to school in Edinburgh, the same school that I went to The Edinburgh Academy.
Yellow is great, and yellow and blue is one of my favourite colour combinations and probably nature's most beautiful combination.
Great to see your entry.
The whole pink for girls and blue for boys is so wrong, people are tonto 🤣
Quotes from my gemini...
A big yellow hug for you Nancy :)
The combination of blue and yellow gives green!!! My second favorite color . 👽And how wonderful to meet around here someone who shared school with Coldplay's bassist. You can say that you are almost famous. 😎I send you a hug at the beginning of the month
When I was out today I saw this and thought of you ... A wet sunflower hug Nancy
What a beauty! Thank you for keeping me in mind. A sunflower hug for you
It's my pleasure :)
Yellow is calm color for me. Especially in sunset.🥰♥️
It is a color that reminds us of clarity. What is your favorite color, @asiaymalay. I hope you can make your participation. It will be a pleasure to read you.
Hehehe. I like red and blue. I want to participate but my mind sometimes wouldn't cooperate😬😁
I like yellow, although I can't say it's my favorite color. But as that song says "amarillo es lo que luce verde nace donde quiera" ;)
Very nice post to start your chronicles, saludos!
I was going to quote that song, but I thought a lot of people didn't have a referent. There is another saying: “He who wears yellow, to his beauty it is”. Thanks for this initiative and support, @coquicoin.
A beautiful, happy choice 🐤🐠💛
What is your favorite color, @riverflows? I would love to know!!!
Can you guess? I'll be posting about it soon...
I really enjoyed reading your post, my dear @nancybriti1 . I didn't know about yellow when buying baby clothes. Now that I think about it, I don't remember how we did it, but I'm sure we didn't use yellow, pink, or blue. I love the yellow of the sun. Thanks for sharing. A big hug from Maracay.
I don't know if this custom is only from Latin America, Venezuelans or a certain social class. Now, I watch videos of the “revelation of genders” and I see that the idea of pink for the girl and blue for the boy continues. I remember that in my time it was strange for a man to wear pink, but thank God those things have changed. What's your favorite color, my friend. I send you a hug
You have described your interest in yellow colour in a wonderful way. It's nice to see the collection of yellow pics.
What's not to love about yellow - warm, sunshiny, and full of fun, just like you, dear Nancy
