contain black or white. When horizontally moving towards the core of the
building, colours will contain more and more of the dark and light shades.
If you move upwards in the inside, you will see that the shades turn lighter
and if downwards, darker shades repress the brightness of pure colours. In
general the structure contains all the colours and their shades. In case of a
literary work -or at least in my imagination- there are some groups or
types of colours and shades that appear more frequently than the others.
As far as I am concerned Nemcsicss complex idea of the colour system
could also be applied to other areas of study such as literature. In the first
place I had to isolate the colourful parts of the short stories that I wished
to analyse. For this I enlisted the primary colours which I did quite
arbitrarily. Thus the six main categories consist of red, green, blue, yellow,
and the additional white and black which as we all know are not even
colours. According to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe these two are saturated
and non-saturated, so basically light and dark shades.
In each category I also specified the names of colours occurring in the
short stories, for example there is group reds, which contains the colours
red, purple, rose, orange, ruby, pink, violet and the word blood as it is
also a significant shade of red while being a liquid at the same time. It was
maybe one of the most important part of my work. Find the Excess table

Having named the main categories and the names of colours all I had to
do was searching the previously enlisted colours in the stories and set up a
table of it. You can see in the table attached that in some cases
determining the anomalies was easy to carry out, like in case of the group
blues and greens. I must add that Stevensons The Strange Case of Dr
Jekyll and Mr Hyde was way longer than any other stories I put under
examination, yet I decided not to take length into consideration, regarding
that this time I only wanted to determine the primary colours of the
writings. Minor changes can always be made later.
Let me again concentrate on the so called Coloroids of the short stories.
Since there are some more frequently appearing colours and shades in
each short story, I would indicate them on the Coloroid with the colours
they represent, while shades and groups of colours not appearing in the
story would remain transparent. In the end of the process each story
would have a coloured system visually displaying the overall amount and
quantity of colours used in them.
The most important advantage of this method is that the brightness,
darkness and lightness of the stories can be spectacularly available to
consultation. At this point I have to mention one of my favourite
inspirations, David MacCandless. He himself states on his website that A
