The colour is coloured by the thing

The red of blood or the red of twilight:

Which do you like?

The blue of corpse or the blue of sky:

Which do you like?

The black of tar or that of woman’s lock:

Which do you like?

The thing of the colour or the colour of the thing?

The one loved or her complexion?

You like her as a whole and hence her colour.
