Imagine that you are now in a dream. It’s the autumn season and maple leaves are falling. As you see your enemy together with your best friend walking down the path covered with leaves, you also notice the vehicles passing by. However, what puzzles you the most is not why your enemy is with your best friend, but why everything is in black and white. Where’s the reddish color of the maple leaves? How about the dirty green color of your enemy’s favorite jacket? Your newly dyed auburn hair?

Well, nothing is the same without colors. Things filled with vibrant and various colors are actually more exciting and livelier than their grayscale versions, just like dreams. Most people,especially children, are more energetic around colorful things. One of these is the coloring book that allows them to add any color they wish to a colorless image.
