Various cultures see color differently.
In India,
blue is associated with Krishna (a very positive association)
green with Islam
red with fertility (used as a wedding color)
white with mourning and is generally worn at funerals
In most Asian cultures,
yellow is the imperial color with many of the same cultural associations as purple in the west
In China,
red is symbolic of celebration, luck and prosperity
white is symbolic of mourning and death
"having a green hat" metaphorically means a man’s wife is cheating on him
In Europe colors are more strongly associated with political parties than they are in the U.S.
The symbolism of color can also be seen in localized religious divisions,
in the UK
the use of green (Catholicism) or Orange (Protestantism)
-> taboo by opposing socioreligious groups.
Also,
red and white in russian represents communism and libealism
