Colours and their Meanings


Green symbolizes nature to me. Others see this colour as the “colour of money”, success, stability and growth. On the other hand only some people would be able to carry this colour in terms of matching it with brown. It is suggested to avoid wearing red when wearing green because it clashes. I associate this colour as a colour of “New Beginnings” and “Compassion”. Its a colour of life. In some cultures green is the colour of fertility.

Purple is seen as a regal colour. It reveals creativity and sophistication. However the downside is that it can only be worn in certain places. You wouldn’t see a doctor or a businessman wearing purple because it is seen as too flamboyant. To me this colour is a colour of confidence. Those wearing it certainly know what they want and how they will achieve it.

White is a colour of purity, innocence. It invites people and in some cultures it is seen as a symbol of sterility (which is why brides wear white - to emphasise sterility and innocence). I see this colour as one of “simplicity”. It can be worn anywhere, anytime. Even doctors wear it. In my eyes - doctors are 24/7 trying to save lives - by wearing a colour of purity it symbolises their intentions are pure.
