What about if I'm feeling envious? We say I'm green with envy! Does that make any sense to you? They say that jealousy is the green-eyed monster, but nothing about me really turns green when I get jealous...
This link between colour and mood and also the relationship between colour preference and personality have been quite well studied. I particularly recommend to you the widely reported and discussed findings of Dr Max Luscher which are available on the internet. You might like to look up and try the Luscher Colour Test on line and assess its personality predictions and no doubt you will be fascinated by how good they seem.
All well and good so far, everyone likes to think they have a positive impact on the world; and there are mixed reports concerning the objective validity of these predictions.
In the competitive world of fashion, I have shown detailed colour management to be critically important. For example, your chosen seasonal shade range must not only be related to the current ‘in’ colours, it must also reflect both the socio-economic classification and the age range of your target customers.
The predicted positive and negative impact of certain colours also has several well attested practical applications. In one test in America it was shown that painting police cells pink successfully reduced the aggression of the inmates. In another example it was found that in a retailing sales environment a décor colour change will catch customer’s interest and be associated with renewal and update; and in a predominantly red décor, the customers appeared to reach purchasing decisions more quickly.
There are four psychological primary colours - red, blue, yellow and green. They relate respectively to the body, the mind, the emotions and the essential balance between these three. The psychological properties of the eleven basic colours are as follows ...
Black envy symbolizes a combination of colours- black- pale- white- yellow and red. They are "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", who were sent to create Hell on the Earth. Envy is a kind of the negative emotional triggering mechanism, resulting in mental diseases of the envious man, as well as other people's moral and physical distruction, brutality, and wars...V.M.Vasnetsov "The Horsemen of the Apocalypse" https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Четыре_всадника_Апокалипсиса
Generally speaking, associative meanings are deeply rooted in the culture of various nations. In point of fact, word associations or verbal synesthesia between concepts of color and emotions have long been studied cross culturally. The related findings have revealed that colors enact different meanings in different cultures. As an illustration, Poles connect envy with purple, while Germans associate it with yellow. For Americans, envy is represented by colors like black, green, and red, but for the Russians it is black, purple, and yellow. Such results show that that differences in color associations are deeply embedded in universal human experiences and represent interesting cross cultural differences mostly emanated through language.
I think, it's characteristic of all cultures- it's so terrible and sly, that it changes its colours according to the situations. Mimicria. Teodor Zheriko painted the horrible character of this sin. https://artchive.ru/artists/132~Teodor_Zheriko/works/237742~Zavist
The colors are related to certain feelings that are generated by people. The color of the greedy, the envy and the yellow means jealousy, the blue color of the sea and the red in danger, and so on.
In his treachery famous play, "Othello William Shakespeare's , Iago describes jealousy as a "green-eyed monster which doth mock.." Chaucer and Ovid also use the phrase "green with envy."
Some believe the color green has been associated with jealousy dating back to the ancient Greeks. They believed jealousy occurred as result of the overproduction of bile, which turned human skin slightly green.
The color of envy is always black. But envy may have the color of our friend's eyes. And it's always very painful when the envy looks at you. When the envy touches you.
Yes, some people talk about a "white envy", a "noble envy".
But I think the heart of envy is always black. Because the envy hurts, destroys, kills...
In the other cases ("white envy", "noble envy"), it is not about envy. The so-called "white envy", in my opinion, is not envy, it is an inspiration, a desire to follow someone's example, a challenge to give your best. I enjoy the people who are successful with their own efforts. Because this shows me that when you want something and you work hard in this direction, there is a chance to achieve it. Shows that dreams can come true
