Coloured Quotes
Lines where 'coloured' spans paint, ethics, casting, and fashion.
These quotes use the word 'coloured' across very different fields: describing the physical act of painting, a moral philosophy comparison, the lack of diversity noticed at castings and shows, and a memorable coloured scarf from university days. See Black quotes for related colour themes.
