Access the language of color around the world in this invaluable guide to color symbolism in different cultures and countries. When colors are cast into a global arena, complex meanings arise. Here’s an example of the symbolism of red in 2 different countries:
- Japan: Red ink is a traditional method of writing a letter that ends a relationship (like a “Dear John” letter or a pink slip).
- Russia: The Russian word for red – “krasniy” – originally meant beautiful. The semantics of beauty are still part of the meaning of this word.
