Colour has an effect on us but it can also affect things. Which can give a whole new dimension and purpose to them. For examples, vinyl. They are first of all auditory works of art. But thanks to their colour, they became visual works of art. So much so, that sometimes vinyls are more used as interior decorations than listen to. Many types of vinyl over the years have changed from the basic black vinyl to a colourful or even patterned vinyl and cover. A double use, possible thanks to the colours and their invaluable power.
