Color Association

Where is it in any religion or philosophical doctrine do we read about the labeling of the many different hues in our color spectrum as meaning a select emotional state or even physical state? For example, it is the general norm that white represents purity, life, etc. ; while black represents impurity, death, etc.

perhaps since every colour is tied to emotions, there is international symbolism…

In Asia, I think white is for funerals.
I also believe that white means evil in Africa. That’s because black people look ashen when they are dead. White people turn a purple/black color.

However, I bet that pink or red might evoke some standard feelings. They are colors associated with the sex organs and disease.

Mondays are orange.

In the Hindu system of yoga each emotion and color is associated with a specific chakra in the body. Each of these seven “wheels” represent different levels of human consciousness.

Throat = Blue = Communication

This color scheme matches the spectrum of visible light as reveled in a rainbow or other prism.

It’s too bad Marty Feldman died at such an early age. I’m sure he had another half dozen Mel Brooks comedies to do…
