You do see it a lot in nature don't you ....It seems to often represent harmony and order; at least we seem to feel it does . it seems to relate a lot to colour too... Imagine if a butterflies wings had the symmetry of patterns on each set of wings but the colours were different on each side ie on the left and right ... would that even look symmetrical ?

Fogey 324 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Interesting question, Clicks. On the face of it - no. But what if the colours were complementary, blue, orange and turquoise on one wing and yellow, orange and green on the other. Would that be symmetrical, concordant or discordant; or would it just be colourful. Quote Link to post
Clicker 6,805 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 It certainly would be colourful.....It is interesting Fogey ... would we even recognise what would be symmetrical patterns if the colours and tones were not the same .... my point just being , can colour disguise symmetry ? I think that you are maybe right in that if it were complementary colours....that would more likely show up as symmetry but if it was random colours, would we notice any symmetrical pattern ? Ah well ... another glass of claret and I probably won’t care anyway 😂😂 That looks like a pretty Cosmos by the way .. 1 Quote Link to post
