What is the colour of the wind?

Saying that the wind has a colour, many will not agree but that can be understood to some extent in supernatural level of science or at a traditional basis. Any human being could experience a high level thinking as to find the real colour of something because these existing colours have been scientifically in an anthological way agreed, which could also be disagreed currently if one can oppose his/her thought related to that.

I would say that when a blind person looks at the stars, he or she can only see the light of his or her heart; therefore the wind could have a particular colour depending on the conception of one person to another. I would say that the colour of the wind is white or grey and that according to me and another person could say the colour of the wind is silver or third person could say that the colour of the wind is gold.

As human being and from African continent, we basically trust in beliefs and the wind in certain aspects and contexts of life is symbolic to some traditions and cultures and that is materialised by its colour. For instance, when the wind blows in my culture, the position to which the rainbow is positioned in that specific moment, which appearing in various colours, indicates whether is going to rain or not; tough, elders can tell the exact colour appearing most than others and influenced by the wind, and give the exact explanation of what is going to happen.

Therefore, according to some cultures, the wind could have a specific colour depending on a specific moment such as when raining influenced by the rainbow. However, that is based on traditional basis and not necessarily scientific, ontological or anthological.
