(For example, green is used world wide for traffic lights signifying "go." In Scandinavia, green has been a popular color for many decades. In the U.S., “avocado green” was a popular color for appliances in the 1960s. Today, lime green has been a hip and trendy color in fashion and advertising in the US since the late 1990s.) Influential factors of color symbolism 1. The specific shade (variation) of a color Dark and light shades of any color convey completely different meanings. For example, pink (light red) loses all of red's associations with energy and takes on new connotations of tenderness and sweetness. Likewise, dark blue is dignified and authoritative, sky blue is ethereal and softer. 2. The quantity and placement of the color Colors deliver the most powerful symbolism when used in large areas. 3. The shape or object the color occupies Symbolism becomes more complex when a color is used in combination with a basic shape. 4. The Color combination Colors take on new meaning when combined with other colors. For example, red and green are the colors of Christmas in Western cultures.
