If today were 3 colours, which would you pick — and why?
Each person picks exactly 3 colours to paint their day today.
Any colours — neon green, grey, half-and-half — all allowed.
Now explain each one: what part of today is that colour? Hardest explanation wins.
30 feeling-words beat 5
Most of us own about five feeling-words: happy, sad, angry, tired, fine. But researchers found people who can name fine shades — 'restless', 'proud', 'left-out', 'content' — calm down faster. Psychologists call it emotional granularity.
Colours are training wheels for exact feelings. 'My day was orange with a grey patch after lunch' is a map a 5-word vocabulary can't draw. More shades = a smaller storm.
