One of the strongest conveyors of meaning is color and it is employed in every facet of our lives both to influence us to feel a certain way (advertising) and for us to convey a specific demeanor (fashion & anti-fashion). The traditional (In the U.S.) meanings ascribed to colors are below: Red:  Passion, Love, Anger Orange:  Energy, Happiness, Vitality Yellow:  Happiness, Hope, Deceit Green:  New Beginnings, Abundance, Nature Blue:  Calm, Responsible, Sadness Purple:  Creativity, Royalty, Wealth Black:  Mystery, Elegance, Evil Gray:  Moody, Conservative, Formality White:  Purity, Cleanliness, Virtue Brown:  Nature, Wholesomeness,
