I’m fascinated by the attributes that had only one associated color (Heat and Passion are only red; Strength and Evil are only black), by the ones that had many colors (Respect, Peace, Mourning), and by the ones that only had an assigned color in a single culture (pink Femininity and purple Cruelty in the West; yellow Deceit and orange Warmth in Japan; purple Gratitude for some Native Americans). “Colours In Cultures,” by David McCandless and [AlwaysWithHonor.com, Information is Beautiful, April 2009 :: via Fast Company
