A venja whei bos còsel? Eus othom dhewgh a goseleth? Gwrewgh mires ort neppeth glas. Glas ew liw an moyha còsel. Martesen, thew rag hedna nei omglow yagh e'n pow an-dro po reb an mor.  Nei omglow saw, didhiwys, pecar'a deves en pras. En contrast, nag ew rüdh còsel dhe'n lagajow. Ev a'gas gwil bos hewol. Ûsyes ew rag gwarnyansow. Ma taclow rüdh ow sevel mes, nag üjy anjei ow scòlkya e'n gilva. Nei a wel chei rüdh coth dhort an vorr gleder goth, nei a wel ystydnans rüdh nowydh dhort an vorr. Na ellama fyllel dh'aga gweles. Gwrewgh degy côta rüdh. Na wra carr agas gweskel. Carr rüdh a vedh gweles en pelder.

Would you like to be calm? Do you need restfulness? Look at something green. Green is the most restful colour. Perhaps, that is why we feel well in the countryside or by the sea. We feel safe, reassured, like sheep in a meadow. In contrast, red is not restful to the eyes. It makes us alert. It is used for warnings. Red things stand out, they don’t skulk in the background. We see an old red house from the old railway, we see a new red extension from the road. We cannot fail to see them. Wear a red coat. A car won't hit you. A red car will be seen in the distance.
