Color symbolism chart


^click image to enlarge^

This chart is great.
I found a tweet about it from @Alyssa_Milano.
It both simply and beautifully charts the
varying symbolism of key colors in
different cultures around the world,
from red to white, and from mourning to modesty.
It goes to show that color really does
help us make sense of the world
and really is universal.
See the short photo story of how a version
of this image ended up as the 91st
and final cover design of the book,
Information is Beautiful.
