It's no coincidence that we see red, laugh yellow, turn green with fear, blue with anger, or white as a sheet. Colors are not insignificant. They carry taboos and prejudices that we unknowingly obey; they possess hidden meanings that influence our environment, our behavior, our language, and our imagination. Colors have a turbulent history that tells the story of the evolution of mentalities. Art, painting, decoration, architecture, advertising, our consumer products, our clothing, our cars—everything is governed by this unwritten code.
