It is interesting that images of colors are different for each country. Images of yellow are happy、fun and glad in Singapore, as well as Australia. They have positive images in many countries but England seems to have negative images like unpleasant or abnormality. By comparison, Cina seems to have an image of yellow as the most beautiful color, which shows neutrality. It is interesting that a color is liked in one country and isn't liked in another country, isn't it?


I think that images of green are peace and nature, and images of black are death and evil in many countries. Mournings clothes are black in Europe, America and Japan, but in Vietnam and China, the color is white. It is interesting.

What images do you or your country have about colors? Red and white are joyous colors in Japan. They are used as the Japanese national flag. Blue is also liked in Japan. Japan is surrounded by sea, so we are closely related to the sea. The main color of the Japanese national football team is blue.

    • Hi, Fizzy. Thank you for your comment. I am interested in colors. They change my mood.

  • Hi Tam, you have summarised the whole research in few words. I have nothing to add actually. As many countries and people in them, as many traditions and meanings of colors. If to speak about my country, then the red color from ancient times means beauty and health. Even the main square in the heart of my country is called The Red Square not because it has red bricks all around but because it was considered the most beautiful place times ago.

    Pity that we pay less importance to such details studying foreign languages, thus we could avoid many misunderstandings. Lol. Like...if you gift a girl you love yellow flowers she will get confused thinking that you want to break up with her.

    Good luck, dear Tam. I promised, I kept my word. With love, O. M  (temporally with the new name)

    • Hi, Not me. Thank you for your comment. Red, blue and white are preferred in many countries, so they are used in natonal flags in many countries.

  • Mm, Tam, such an interesting topic to talk about. I will definitely comment on it, unfortunately, I have no time now ))) I'll drop in later, pls ))

    • Hi, O.M. Thank you for your comment. I'm looking forward to it.
