Introduction
I. Imagine a world without colours.
- No more waking up to the clear blue skies, no more greeneries on the side walk. - Even the classic joke that goes “Roses are red, Violets are blue” wouldn’t even make sense anymore.

II. Apart from life being more daunting and boring, being in a world without colours also handicaps us in many ways because colours though seemingly insignificant actually affects us in various ways in our everyday lives.
III. Today I’ll be first explaining about how colours can influence us in various ways, followed by giving some examples on how colours are currently being made use of in our society and finally going through some examples of how we can actually make use of colours to benefit us.
(Transition: So you might be wondering “How does colours influence us?” Well, colours has the ability to influence our emotions and feelings without us actually even realising

With this in mind, we could use colours to our own benefit. For example, w we could surround ourselves in the colour blue if a certain task requires us to be more creative. Whereas, we could surround ourselves in the colour red if the task was more detailed oriented and requires more attention. This would increase our efficiency when completing a certain task.

Conclusion

I. The colour wheel definitely consists of many more other colours than what I’ve mentioned today. Each and every colour is unique and has their own benefits in different ways.
II. A quote by Michelle C. Ustaszeski goes “We often neglect to find beauty in things we see every day”. Well, it is never too late to start appreciating the beauty of colours and its benefit and I hope that from today’s speech, we can all take away a few points.
III. Firstly, how colours affects our emotions and mood. Next, how colours are made used of to market products and finally how colours can benefit us. So, let’s take the effort to appreciate colours more and put it to good use to benefit us in various ways.
