Significance

Significance of Colour in Culture

Below is a link to what colours mean and signify in different culture:http://http://webdesign.about.com/od/colorcharts/l/bl_colorculture.htm


Imagine a world without colours....(and I do not mean black and white-They are colours to you know?)

Culture in itself makes our world colourful.It brings about a certain vibrancy and variety to life.As the saying goes variety is the spice of life.




Undeniably, Malaysia is definitely blessed with such vastness in cultures.Besides,Indian,Chinese and Malay cultures,we also have the Aborigines,
Portugese,Baba & Nyonya and other etnic cultures.






Personally,I love the colour of sarees,cudithar,salwar,jeepa and dhoti.The sight of little India is a sight to behold!


Just the other day,in ananda Bahwan,near the cashier,there were bindi colours situated on the table. Tina explain that the different colours signified different status in a person's life.For example,a married woman would wear a red pottu and the young girls and widows also will wear black pottu.
(Assistance on pottus were given by Geetha & Tina)
