GPL bro, I've been reading on fashion and then I saw by a quick eye that in China both black and white are considered kinda unluck color. Well, it turns out old Chinese wore white to funerals, so, white color in clothes seen as something very bad for them… But at the same time black was auspicious color for old Chinese. It represented something like wisdom and everything, basically they thought black was king of color… They knew about fashion in there…
But now because of west influence black is considered isn't as auspicious, in Ming dynasty black clothe became functional and it was associated with poor guy, today they wear black to funeral too. So, today, most auspicious color in China is red and gold yellow, maybe that's why they are on China flag… Red mean celebration, all paper lanterns are red, and yellow, well, gold and richie… Blue is also kinda bad color, well, there is this "funeral blue", so, they didn't like blue much… Well, Chinese wear all color clothe, but they won't go to a date in black for example…
Well, white being unluck color is surprising, I think… But I think it made big sense. White flowers are associated with funeral too in China, that's probably because they are considered as flowers which have no color. The paper on which we write is white too, so, white must be associated not as color but the color all run out. Which is very different to Asia, where black is considered as no color but lack of color. I think it's from Bible or something… Grandma didn't like red, well, blood is red so it associated with bad and death too, but Christ's blood was red too, so it made little sense for red to be unluck… Grandma really didn't like those two color, she preferred to throw black or red clothing away or make rags out of them. I dunno about lucky color in Asia though. Grandma's favorite is white, well, she is very religious lady… But how about Finland? Wat color is considered unluck and wat color is considered luck in the north? I know you wear all black, just like me, but maybe you knew the color dynamic…
