Today, to further explore "The Power of Color," I want to share five stunning photographs, color palettes, and hex codes I've received this year.
Ice Crystals
When the temperature drops and the air becomes cold, the water vapor in the atmosphere changes into tiny ice crystals. These ice crystals then stick together to form snowflakes. This process occurs when warm, moist air rises and eventually cools at higher altitudes. As the air cools, the water vapor condenses and forms ice crystals, which then gather to form snowflakes that fall to the ground.

Improvision
The ice cream cone, a beloved treat, gained popularity at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Legend has it that an ice cream vendor, allegedly Mr. Ernest Hamwi, ran out of serving dishes. In a stroke of inspired improvisation, he rolled waffles into the shape of cones, allowing the ice cream to be served in a convenient and edible container. This accidental invention quickly caught on and became a staple in frozen treats.

Mintonette
In 1895, William G. Morgan, who served as a physical education director at the YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts, invented the sport of volleyball. Originally called "Mintonette," the game was designed to blend basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball to create a less physically demanding but still competitive sport.
Style of the Icons
In the 1950s, jeans gained widespread popularity as a fashion staple, mainly due to the influential styles of iconic figures like James Dean and Marlon Brando. This durable and versatile garment became a symbol of rebellion and effortlessly cool, contributing to its iconic status in fashion.

Oily Cakes
In 19th century America, the popular breakfast treat we now know as "doughnuts" had a different name. They were called "oily cakes" before "doughnuts" became widely adopted during this time.

Curiosities of the Red Sea
Elphinstone Reef, situated in the Red Sea, is celebrated for its stunning and diverse coral formations, which are a testament to the rich marine life in the area. This underwater paradise provides divers the unique opportunity to encounter the inquisitive oceanic whitetip sharks regularly, adding an exciting element to their diving experience.

(Bonus) Parachute-Like (Inspiration)
Dandelion seeds are marvels of natural engineering, perfectly adapted for flight. Each delicate seed is intricately attached to a feathery parachute-like structure known as a pappus, which enhances their dispersal by the wind over vast distances. This design allows dandelion seeds to travel far and wide, ensuring the plant can spread and thrive in diverse environments.
