This became a tradition for Korean.The white color in Korea means purity,innocence,morality. They believed that the sun is a God and the Korean is a son of the God and they wear the white colored cloths standing out the glory of the sun with pride. Korean wears in white as soon as born and died.These white cloths express the buddish idea 'come empty,return empty'and the white color means assimilation with nature. If you want to know the basic colour meaning in chinese culture try to read Eberhard's book " dictionary of chinese symbolism" also a book by sarah rosbach, i think the title is "living colour"įrom the old time,Korean was called white-clad. white can mean death, but also refer to purity. Purple can denote mourning but also can denote a positive meanings. blue denoted to mourning also denotes to hope, spring. I do a research on colours in Chinese culture, and mourning colour in Chinese culture is vary, some of the colours have opposing connotation, e.g. In Korea in the 19th century, the Emperor decreed that everyone in the country should wear white for a long stretch of weeks after the death of anyone in the royal family, but, since the family was so large and somebody from it was always keeling over, the peasantry got so used to wearing white that it lost all funerary implications and they white became everyday wear, and they took to wearing dark blue for mourning the death of someone they actually knew and felt bad about having died. Blue, as noted in another reply, is often also a color for funerals. I have read mostly that white is the traditional color for mourning in Chinese culture, although in some southeast Asian countries black has become the funerary color. Also, chinese usually wear red wedding dresses White is pure but in certain circumstances, white connects with death as well.Hope this if of help to you. When Chinese says a person is wearing a green hat, it means that his wife is having an affair. Yellow connotes royalty, properity and luck. Red, the most popular is an auspicious color. You can find some of them in the three Proceedings of the International Color Association, published in Buenos Aires (1989), Budapest (1993) and Tokyo (1997). Look for articles and books written by John Hutchings, who is an specialist in the subject. Any information on the symbolism and/origins of color symbolism would be greatly appreciated. I am doing an International Bacclaureate extended essay on the meaning of colors in different cultures around the world. I will use this component of my research, in conjunction with other research, to help create better advertising to the consumer in India. I am an American, art director who is completing an MBA. Mac, I can't speak for the other "color people" but for myself, if one understands a culture, then one can communicate better with it.

But to what end? If I created 5 new cultures or found 7 new civilizations for you to investigate.and you compiled all of their color associations and 'meanings' what would that add to your work? Would it bring you closer to some goal? Any thoughts about all this effort? What is really being sought here? Anything? Mac (All of them even include the word Red.how lovely.) And now I've compiled them all. (It's phonetically beautiful isn't it?) Another bunch of guys on another dirt heap yacked away and came up with English.and another recently started chatting in binary. A bunch of guys on one dirt mound mumbled for a thousand years and poof.the French language popped up. Even Red as spoken by some bleeding cave man that said "gRrEDdh" or some other gutteral grunting word. Red.in English, in French, in German, in Hopi, in Binary, in Octal, in any language, in any form. But to what end? Where does the investigation lead to? If I took the word Red (or perhaps the word 'water'.any word) and looked at it in a dozen.a 100 different languages, I'd come up with the just as many different results. Many are diligently investigating color - it's supposed meanings - associations - bla bla bla - in various cultures, in different corners of the globe.etc. I've seen people looking at color and writing about it. The color red in American culture/educationĭoes color symbolism in other cultures matter?Ĭolor People, I'm confused. Does color symbolism in different cultures matter?
