What colour is the wind?

What colour is the wind? A song by Charlie Landsborough asks , "is a gentle breeze a lighter shade just like his friend the sea? The wind feels blue to me."

The wind has a personality and will therefore be a different colour when it changes its' mood. When there's a gentle breeze blowing on a hot summers day, the wind will be a baby blue in my opinion. When Cape Town gets those lovely gushes of wind caused by the south easterly, the colour of the wind will be a bright orange or red.

Nature throws a variety of wind types our way, and expects us to appreciate them all. A slight breeze in the summer or a heavy wind that could carry a girl to the other side of Cape Town in winter. This is why we love Cape Town. The personality of Cape Town's wind can be compared to that of a woman. Shy and sweet at times, but full of attitude and anger if you mess with her.

The colour of the wind is different every day and even though most people don't realise it, our moods often tie in with the mood of the wind.
