DO COLORS HAVE SOME SYMBOLIC MEANING IN YOUR COUNTRY

72. Do colors have some symbolic meaning in your country? ( 5 - 8 )

Yes, colors certainly have a lot of meaning in my country. Please allow me to explain.

Firstly, it is significant that the national flag of my country has a red background. Red is

symbolic, for example, of a vibrant life, which we believe are one of the dominant

characteristics of the country and its people. It also signifies good luck, so a bride

would wear some red on her wedding day. In addition, I think that yellow has a specific

meaning to our people. For example, we believe that it symbolizes the energy radiated

by the sun, which in turn is the primary source of life. In addition, however, it also

signifies the obscene, as apposed to blue in the most of the western cultures. For

example, here a blue movie, would be called a yellow movie. Lastly, I think that white

has a special meaning to us. To be more specific, in times of sadness and mourning, we

use white to express our feelings, as apposed to black in most of the western cultures.
