Red ->
Oh yeah before I begin my only source is http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/28/color-theory-for-designers-part-1-the-meaning-of-color/ because this is basically all that's about.
SO
Red -> Indicates prosperity in China, Communism; references danger, can be construed to portray blood, also associated with fire, action and warfare.
Orange -> Described as a calmer derivative of red (or anyways concerning its emotion-evoking properties) which is (obviously) more closely associated with fire but, when muted, is representative of -- oh let's see -- "...health and vitality...earth and with autumn." Fascinating!1111
Yellow -> According to this webpage it's associated with hope, happiness, cowardice and courage (yeah), mourning and mercantilism.
Obviously these are in different cultures.
By the way Yellow is the only good color and all the others are there to make sure there's not too much of a good thing.
Oh I didn't get that from the website though.
Blue -> OH MY GOSH NO I'M NOT EVEN DONE
FALSE ALARM
OKAY
BLUE -> IS A COLOR
THAT
THAT
I'm all better now.
Blue is a light-mixing primary color (a list of these being red, yellow, and blue) and also a pigmentary primary color on the RGB mixing format (Red, Green, Blue) for computers or.. something..
...
Something like that.
There are probably three thousand (out of 7.108 billion) people who really know for sure.
"...often associated with sadness in the English language [and we don't know why we're putting this here because words aren't colors]...also used extensively to represent calmness and responsibility. Light blues can be refreshing and friendly. Dark blues are more strong and reliable. [And there's a lot more you won't care about.]"
Well, isn't that nice?
Green -> Seriously? The article doesn't say ANYTHING about Islam.
Okay I'll do it for them.
Dark greens represent Islamism. And it represents grass.
Purple -> They're right, purple really was long associated with royalty. I believe the Roman word for purple actually references royalty -- something to do with the purple color of a baby prince's wrapping or.. anyways, so was green and they didn't mention it in green. I think they left pretty much everything out of there.
Well! Pretty sure that's all!
