Colour carries deep meaning within every culture, so colour is an extremely important design detail to consider when creating work.
Examples:
Red: represents danger, love and passion in western culture. In India it symbolises purity. In China, a sign of good luck. But in west Africa, red is the colour of mourning and death
Purple: in Thailand it is the colour of mourning, but in the west it is associated with wealth, luxury and loyalty

When taking about a specific colour in my essay, use Red as a main example:
- Symbolism of colour often stems from religious, spiritual, historical or social events. e.g. valentines day is associated with the colour red to represent love. Which is similar to Indian/Pakistani culture as the bride wears red on her wedding day. However…in Nigerian and African culture it represents suffering and sacrifice
