Color symbolism

Color symbolism in art, literature, and anthropology refers to the use of color as a symbol in various cultures and in storytelling. There is great diversity in the use of colors and their associations between cultures^[1] and even within the same culture in different time periods.^[2] The same color may have very different associations within the same culture at any time. Diversity in color symbolism occurs because color meanings and symbolism occur on an individual, cultural and universal basis. Color symbolism is also context-dependent and influenced by changes over time.^[3] Symbolic representations of religious concepts or articles may include a specific color with which the concept or object is associated.^[4]
