Many Latin American countries love COLOR! Not just any color rather they love BRIGHT COLOR and Guatemala is one of these countries. When they create, they use a wide range of colors, but many are bright shades of pink, purple, orange, yellow, green, etc. They weave different colors together in threes and often I sit on the street just watching them with admiration-a bit like a proud mother. It's one of the most beautiful sights watching someone engage in their craft.
It's interesting that these women choose such similar yet different patterns for items. One bag may have one pattern of stripes and the top may have a flowers and a new pattern. I always wonder how they choose their specific patterns for quilts, bags, clothes, shoes, etc.
The color choice always seems to be bright giving a sense of joy in the item. It's a nice feeling to have something colorful and I believe colors contribute towards our mood state. Those who wear color have a tendency to be happier and brighter people-people whose spirit just shines a bit more.
Colors can positively impact our mood without us even being conscious of the meaning or impact. We can choose certain colors based on our mood and many of those in a Spanish culture like bright colors due to their internal happiness. This would be from my experience and the many people I have met and know from Central and South American.
Here are some examples of the beautiful work:
