Communication through Colors

Today in class, our professor discussed how we communicate with others. The majority of our communication is nonverbal, even including the colors we wear or decorate with. He gave us a little quiz to see how well we understand color in our country. I thought you might enjoy it :)
Try to figure out the color that matches the description and then I'll give you the answers.
You can only use the color once. Good luck *

1. warmth, cheer, vibrant
2. pure, clean, youthful
3. prestige, scientific, cold
4. Excitement, strength, passion, speed
5. royal, spirituality, dignity
6. soft, sweet, security
7. nature, fresh, growth
8. prestige, expensive
9. trust, coolness, belonging
10. playfulness, warmth, vibrant
11. sophistication, elegant, mysterious

What are you communicating with your wardrobe, home decor, and accessories?


It is interesting the different color communications in other countries... for example:

Death in China- White
Sacredness in China- Yellow
Death in Brazil- Purple
Sadness in Greece- Yellow
Jealousy in France- Yellow
