Simplified meaning
The quote is about someone expressing their feelings towards colors. They enjoy and feel happy when they see bright, vibrant colors. On the other hand, they feel a bit sad or sorry for dull or less bright colors like brown. Imagine looking at a garden filled with colorful flowers like reds, blues, and yellows – it makes you feel cheerful. But if you see a dry, brown patch of grass, you might feel a bit down. This feeling shows that colors can affect our emotions. The advice here is to pay attention to how different colors make you feel, and maybe try to bring more bright and happy colors into your life to lift your mood.
