there are such colors. A few usually. They are often combined in the country's heraldic symbol, called the state or national flag.

Orange is the heraldic color of William of Orange, who led a popular uprising against the Spanish crown. In 1581 the Netherlands became an independent republic. In 1630, the flag, officially adopted in 1599, was partially changed: the monarchist orange stripe was replaced with a revolutionary red one. Later, unsuccessful attempts were made to restore the orange color on the flag, and despite the restoration of the House of Orange, which still rules today, the red-white-blue tricolor remained. But as a sign of respect for the royal house, on the days of celebrations and holidays, they also raise the orange pennant of the monarchical dynasty .

17,088 boosts brand awareness with winning colors in corporate style views

Color is one of the most important components of communication in business. It can be an effective tool to help convey important ideas to the audience and draw attention to the product. Or it can play against the business if used incorrectly or inappropriately.

At the same time, even basic shades can evoke completely different emotions in representatives of different cultures. For example, in the West, black symbolizes death and is used in clothing during mourning, while in Egypt it is associated with rebirth. In the modern world, distant cultures increasingly intersect, so it is useful to know the symbolism of color in other countries.

To help you navigate the global color palette, we've put together a short guide based on the research of Surya Vanka, Associate Professor of Art and Design at the University of Illinois.

Vanka is an international color attribute expert and author of ColorTool: Cross-Cultural Meanings of Color multimedia software. With this program, designers select colors for products sold internationally.
