Signage in Yucca, Arizona, 2009
Whoa is a familiar word to all of us horse riders, often used in plentitude, depending on the nature of the horse and the amount of control that we manage to deploy! It is also used as a greeting, to express surprise or interest, or to command attention. It derived from late Middle English, as a variant of ho.
Hex colour refrence: #ee204d
A colourful note: the red colour appeared in the original Crayola set of crayons in 1903.
What else can I say about the classic colour? Warmth, positivity, action, energy, seduction, strength, passion, anger, heat, WHOA…
