Online web series explores colour as an emotion



A new online web series that explores colour as an emotion and sensory experience rather than just something visual has been released. The series of short two-minute films are on You Tube. Called Colours of Arabia, they follow the story of a grandfather who takes Noor, his 10-year-old blind granddaughter on a journey and helps her to understand colour without being able to see it.

The films are made by Fishtree Advertising for Berger Paints and in the latest episode, they visit the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
