A very good reference for Writers, too. The color of a room, or someone’s clothing can convey emotion or a state of being, or even set the tone for a setting or a situation.
Colors often come with ingrained connotations – they certainly have strong meanings in Asian cultures, and in European cultures they have intrinsically understood meanings.
Red – passion, blood, anger, fire (for example)
This is going in my writer’s journal.
This is also incredibly true for scenery and costumes! I had an entire class devoted to this sort of thing, the color you put someone around or in can REALLY convey a message, even subconsciously for people who don’t know this chart. People see red and they all feel somewhat the same vibe that comes from it!
