Look around you!  There is color everywhere.  Although, black-and-white photography gives a vintage look and feel to photographs, I often love to shoot in color because of all the different vibrant hues you can capture with your camera.  The next time you are walking down the street, or at the supermarket, notice the different colors that can pop out at you.  With the right combination of colors, you can emphasize certain aspects of your photograph.  You can use color to draw attention to parts of your photograph, or just have the colors in your photograph serve as a piece of eye candy for viewers to enjoy.  There can be a specific goal to capturing color, or just to capture it for it’s own beauty is wonderful as well.

Since photographers cannot always control what colors they can compose in their camera like painters can in choosing their palette, most often than not, you have to choose your “palette” as a photographer from the existing world surrounding you.  This will cause you to be more observant.  Try to notice the little things.  If something colorful catches your eye, take a closer look.  It may be that shot you were looking for.  So go out there and enjoy the colors of the world around you.  Capture them with your trusty camera!
