Guest guest Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Relating to all the interesting posts on colours. I have always had a fascination with colours and lights. When I was young I would create my own innovative disco lights. I have my own theories which are based on Islamic dream interpretation especially of Ibn Sireen/ Sirin. I have casually researched my my theories (not to any scientific/ academic level): Yellow/ orange (clothing, cars etc) for men means sickness, or deviance, drug use, esp mental. For women it means fun, happiness. Light Blue represents a need for relaxation and needing to be free of stress. Dark blue represents familiarity with constant or hard work Purple represents royalty or eccentricity Black is chosen by those who wish to conceal themselves from others. It is a defensive colour and warring. It can represnt humility or sin or dislike for laws. Drug barons and company exectutives favour black Red is spiritual joy or love for material wealth. it has been found that women tend to unconsciously wear red during their monthly cycles. Green represents love for humanity or Islam. Light represents more fun while dark represents more seriousness for all colours Brown represnts multicultural awareness or wisdom White represents purity, honesty or pride. For example if a person wants to be seen as being 'open' then he should wear white or light colours. So the colours we choose represents how we are or how we wish to be percieved. this works in the same way as handwriting (Graphology). Environmental and cultural factors are also important eg a Canadian may wear a white shirt and red tie for partly nationalistic reasons. and a person may have 10 different subconscious reasons for choosing a particular colour. Most people buy second hand cars, so colour is not so influencing although it has been found that red cars sell easier. Most likely as red is the colour of material success. These are just some of my findings, they are not concrete but flexible. maybe someone else has other suggestions If any one disagrees then please help.
