Bring in the marigold

The New Year may have been done and dusted, but there are a few things we aren’t willing to let go of yet. The festive spirit, cheer, sweets, and candles, of course, but also a singular colour that denotes festivity: marigold yellow. According to folklore, golden yellow symbolises a great future. Golden represents wisdom, illumination, and wealth. In Asian and Indian culture, it is seen as the colour of culture and harmony. Yellow isn’t easily found in nature, but is the most widespread colour when it comes to flowers. The reason is because yellow can be easily seen by insects that are attracted to the flowers due to their colour and carry pollen to them. To human beings, of course, the sheer glory and cheer of this colour is attractive.
