Color Meanings / Color Symbolism in Different Cultures

Colors have meaning! In this video I go through some of the more important colors and give their meaning and/or symbolism in different cultures. We might as well be thorough, right. Instead of only the meaning in our time and our Western culture, I also give the meaning of the colors in Christianity, in Heraldry, and in the Chinese, Jewish and Celtic traditions. So you have six different sets of meaning for each color, complete with colorful video clips. :)

There is of course some disagreement and subjectivity in the mix when assigning meanings to colors. In some cases different sources gave color meanings that directly conflicted. The method for this colors meanings list involved consulting many different sources and using common sense, hoping that this quick teaser into color meanings will get you to dig deeper.
