Color in Chinese Culture (thanks to Wikipedia
)
Red:
Corresponding with fire, symbolizes good fortune and joy.
Red is found everywhere during Chinese New Year and other holidays and family gatherings.
A red envelope is a monetary gift which is given in Chinese society during holiday or special occasions. The red color of the packet symbolizes good luck.
Red is strictly forbidden at funerals as it is a traditionally symbolic color of happiness;[1] however, as the names of the dead were previously written in red, it may be considered offensive to use red ink for Chinese names in contexts other than official seals.
In modern China, red remains a very popular color and is affiliated with and used by the Communist government.
White:
Corresponding with metal, represents gold and symbolizes brightness, purity, and fulfillment.
White is also the color of mourning. It is associated with death and is used predominantly in funerals in Chinese culture.
Ancient Chinese people wore white clothes and hats only when they mourned for the dead.
Sometimes silver takes its place, as silver is often offered to the deceased in the form of joss paper.
