Colours in my closet

In the previous Posts I talked about colors and, what they meant , and how each different colors represents different emotions and personality.
After looking around and asking people , and also doing some researches I decided to step a little more deeper to the situation and look for just some particular colors, and see what that color means in different cultures and societies. Therefore after looking at each different culture what I found interesting out of all of them was the colors black &white, and also red.
What I found interesting in these colors were , that in the north Americans and also some eastern countries the color black represents death and they wear black at a funeral, but what was interesting for me was that people in India and Pakistan , wear white at their funeral and exactly the opposite ,color white represents death to them. The same situation went with the color red , as in the Iranian culture red represent evil and danger , but on the other hand for the Chinese culture red represent joy and happiness, and we can see that’s their color of luck.
The video in the above just represent the different feeling and reactions of what people show towards different colors.
