. | ::yellow:: | |
| can mean: joy, happiness, optimism, idealism, imagination, hope, sunshine, summer, gold, philosophy, dishonesty, cowardice, betrayal, jealousy, covetousness, deceit, illness, hazard // ok, I know Lex's hourglass suit is technically white, but the vision begins with a strong yellow glow to his suit, and then changes to a pure white as the sunflowers die. so most of the above interpretations fit into this first section quite well. President Lex is joyful, happy, optimistic... he is shown in a sunny summer- like and golden environment, but we also know this is cunning and manipulative Lex, bringing dishonesty, betrayal etc. into the mix. | |||
| ::blue:: | |||
 |
can mean: peace, tranquility, calm, stability, harmony, unity, trust, truth, confidence, security, loyalty, depression. In the Middle East blue is a protective color, (I think this idea works well here.) // the blue in question is the dark blue shirt Lex wears when he meets Cassandra for the first time. as the scene begins Lex hold a tiny flower, somewhat peaceful i suppose. lex comes searching for answers so truth works well. he is very confident in the way he overtly asks questions about clark. as the scene progresses he seems to get more and more anxious especially when Cassandra holds out her hand for his. the calm and stability of blue becomes a mask for his inner disharmony. Lex also wears this shirt in the car memento scene with Clark. the structure of this exchange echoes the Cassandra meeting. Lex asks questions, Clark doesn't give the answers Lex wants to hear, Clark switches the focus onto Lex and his obsession with the past (as Cassandra had urged Lex to confront the future) and the scene ends with Lex looking unsettled. | ||

"Blue has remained the symbol of fidelity till our times, as fidelity can be proven only from distance, where the opportunity for unfaithfulness awaits. Blue flowers, such as forget-me-nots and violets symbolize faithfulness."*// Lex's wearing the color blue and the small violet blue flower he holds at the beginning of the Cassandra scene would imply he was a true believer in her powers. | ||
