Colour is a unique language with its own vocabulary. Just like words,
The millions of hues, tints, tones and shades swirling around us every waking moment all affect us. Everything has a colour. No matter how subtle, the subconscious colour psychology still influences our thinking and makes us react in some way.
The colours we choose to surround ourselves in our environment play a huge role in how we feel. Want to learn more about how to select colours for your home or office to set the right mood? When selecting color schemes, for any reason, it's important to think about the impression you might be making.
Слайд 3Depending on the culture, what a colour means can be very different:
Depending on the culture, what a colour means can be very different:
In Taiwan, a person wearing a green hat will make others think that his or her spouse has not been faithful.
Yellow means that the person might be a harlot.
In China, white is seen as the colour for mourning and funerals as opposed to black that’s more common in the West.
This is believed by some to be because Hinduism and Buddhism – two of the most popular religions there – both see death as the move to a higher and better plane of existence. Because of that, death has a much more positive connotation. In the West, death is generally seen as an ending and therefore the negative connotation that comes with the colour black makes more sense to the average American person, as well as to many people in Europe.

Depending on the culture, what a colour means can be very different:
In Islam, gold and green are the colours for Paradise, and green and blue are common colours in that country for many things. They are seen in and around most of the mosques and they are important for peace and happiness.
In the United States and other traditionally Christian countries, colour is not as associated with church, but it is associated with many Christian holidays. Purple and pastel colours are for Easter, green for Christmas, etc.
When a person goes from one country to another, he or she often forgets that it’s not only the language and the food that changes. The culture is totally different, too, and that means that the way that colour is presented and interpreted will be different. Even within a culture there will be differences based on other demographics, but they won’t be as pronounced as the more standard opinions that a culture holds overall.
