I had heard that white was regarded as a funeral colour in Asia. Also
a colour associated with children? Wondered what they generally think
of when they see white, and how they view black, and also green???

1: Red -- A color of passion, anger or love. Passion depends on the
mood or the moment. Red is also the color of heat or flame.
2: Yellow -- Happiness, friendship, peace... The sun is always painted
in pictures as yellow, smiley faces are always yellow and many peace
roses are symbolized in yellow. it's a bright color and it wakes up the
senses.
3: Blue -- serene, loyal, wise. The loyalty of the sky, the one thing
that I can count on beneath the clouds is that there will be a blue sky
to peek through.
4: Orange -- this reminds me of my high school colors. I'm not fond of
orange at all... though it does remind me of the tropics.
5: Green -- the lush grasses, rich forests
6: Purple -- royalty, healing, wisdom from life, the willingness to
teach and learn...
7: Yellow-green/Lime -green, Sap-green, Chrome green -- hospital,
hospice, terminal illness, disease, nursing home, death, corpse... the
color of a person's skin post-mortem is an ashen yellow/ jaundice color
that looks kinda sickly and very obviously dead. it's a very sad sight
and very permanent. I've held many hands as the cycle of physical life
ended and the last breath was drawn and released. the smell of
antiseptic wash being of a murky brownish-green and the name tags being
that of an odd neon yellow...
8: Turquoise, Teal-blue -- the reflection of the sky in the tropical
ocean, a turquoise Native American amulet, a sandpainting in the desert
southwest... the sound of the beating drum...
9: Brown -- Mesa rock, sandstone, yucca, pinecones, jackrabbits and
cottontails.... walks along the sand dunes....
10: Black -- The eyes of the rattle snake, the speckles of the granite,
black horses, black feathers, crows, onyx, funerals, weddings
11: White -- clouds, cotton candy, weddings, snow
12: Grey -- kittens, rain
13: Pink, Melon-pink, Fuschia-Pink, Magenta--carnations, roses, wild
flowers,
14: Wine, Burgundy -- hotrods, races, Victorian elegance, classical
concerts...
I'm in the US and I'm Irish/Italian mix... I have a strong Celtic
background thanks to my grandmother's strong teaching. I don't know
much about my Italian side since I'm roughly about 5th or 6th
generation American (dad's side) but 2nd generation American on the
Irish side (being my mom's side) so that heritage is really strong in
me. I generally see and use lots of symbolism in my surroundings....
especially the colors.

means to me, but they vary in meaning between people. What is Cannuck?
Reason I want to know about nationality is that meaning especially
varies between nationalitys or ethnic background, and this is a factor
of interest in my query. I suspect between occupations as well as you
have a lot of vegetative colours in your response, can't think why.
I find it interesting that so many have alluded to blue as being the

> 1: Red
Red is a warm color that in theater is used to show the morally less than
perfect woman whether as in a Streetcar named Desire play or in tv shows. I
enjoy red personally but I have been told that it is not in good taste by
those who prefer blues and greens. In a seasonal use it is warm and festive
but in a sport it usually means danger or cruelty in bull fighting. It does
not have a single association but many of them.
> 2: Yellow
Yellow can mean caution or an Easter celebration or a shirt dyed by onions
or a bright bold color. It depends on how white or black it is.
> 3: Blue
A light blue reminds me of the sky, a dark blue is patriotic as one of the
colors of the flag, a shiny blue reminds me of Christmas ornaments, a
textile blue can either be a blue dress shirt or a work shirt.
> 4: Orange
Orange is a caution light but another color orange is a citrus fruit. Burnt
orange is the University Of Texas team colors but the sun can be painted
orange rather than yellow and take on a whole new shade of tone in a
picture.
> 5: Green
Leprecaun Green is for the wee people and good luck or happiness, gardens
are built around shades and textures of green. Unripe fruit is green and
showing the degree of ripeness of food in a painting can change the tone of
the painting.
> 6: Purple
Purple can be a sign of grapes but in a rich tone it can signify royal robes
because the dye was made from sea creatures and so many were required that
the dye was very expensive and thus reserved for royalty and religion.
Christiananity uses purple a lot in stoles and covers and drapes and so on.
> 7: Yellow-green/Lime -green, Sap-green, Chrome green
Each has its own mythology or plant color. The amount of sun light being
reflected changes from bright green sunny lawns to pale green shady ferns.
> 8: Turquoise, Teal-blue
Turquoise is often used in rings and other jewelry in the South west and is
usually mounted in silver. It is a lucky color and possibly the color of
the fire bird.
> 9: Brown
Brown can be chocolate or a mildly fertile soil. It can be a chestnut like
a pony or a great scar upon the earth.
> 10: Black
Black can be the color of death and darkness or a licorice stick. Black can
be night time or an artistic device to fade to to signify a different
section of a story. Black can be a symbol of bad magic or of witches
familiars or a contrasting color for printing books cheaply. Illuminated
scripts and beginning of chapters are expensive.
> 11: White
Can be the color of death or of purity or of snow and ice and frozen
wastelands or of warmth and home in igloo or vole tunnel or a snowy owl.
> 12: Grey
Is often the color of bird feathers.
> 13: Pink, Melon-pink, Fuschia-Pink, Magenta
Are the color of flesh of mellons and of women.
> 14: Wine, Burgundy
Is a bright bold warm color.

I am descended from most of the royal houses of Europe as most royalty
married to form alliances so a German Princess was Queen of Russia -
Katharine The Great, and a German was also a Prince in Great Britain. Henry
the 8th seemed to marry from Spain and France and who knows where all else.
I could go on but you get the idea.
I also have Indian relatives and Mexican relatives and so on. I suspect
there are few cultures I have no relation to and those are in the Pacific
mostly once you get beyond Hawaii. "No man is an island unto himself."

Indeed. The Grey Havens was the harbour from where the elves departed
Middle Earth. This is also where Bilbo and Frodo finally have to say
goodbye to Sam and Co. as they also leave. The segment also appears in the
BBC Radio version, but fails to appear in the movie version.
White Horses was a TV childrens' drama serial from the late 1960's. It was
made in Europe (I suspect Germany) and dubbed into English, and was shown
on BBC1 for a number of years during school holidays.

I can understand that different places and groups have different way of
seeing things and put different importance on things.
You can't think of why I would notice plants and the like when I
honestly like plants and living things?!!

there could be something to it with respect to auras and stuff. Now
there's another path to follow up on for you research.

I may have let that chuckle slip past me as I was a bit tired when
checking out the meadow. I susposed things like that will happen when
you are busy getting your yard and garden planted up in one day plus
getting all the house work done not to mentoin getting all the little
neices and naphews pots done up the day before and helping a sister
with her yard too. Not to mention having a couple little folks have
b-days and having to make sure that got a goodie or two from me.
Things are hot hot hot my way with temps around 30C (86F) the past few
days, ergo the reason that I want my yard to be planted up , so my
plant can make the most of all that sun and warm temps.
I also have a ton of e-mails and spodding to do but they will have to
wait a day or so as work calls.
Hope you got a lot of info to help you with learning more about how
folks see colors and make sense of them.
Hugs, tugs, and busy days too. :)
Old Grey Wolf
Grey Wolf and I first returned from Viet Nam, She had a green thumb,
but could not see the sense in planting and tending anything you could
not eat. Over a year or two, my mother changed her outlook. Now she
has the front of our house looking beautiful with lots of flowers. One
day soon I will snap a picture and let you all see.

I think they are acrylic paint terms. I am not sure though. It has been
years since I have seen oils and acrylics as I usually try to play around
with colors electronically which requires me to use a whole different
pallet. Light and pigment are different and I am not great with either so I
usually just send pms codes when I ask for a design in art approval.

When I did it in Maine I took a number 10 can - big metal family size
container that held food like peas or catsup or peaches or something, as big
as a big jar of pickles but not for pickles because they require glass as
they react with metal - and put it in a campfire. The can is filled with
water and onions and allowed to boil. After it has boiled down for a while
drop in a white cloth. The cloth is stained or dyed.

A fire bird is a religious symbol for some groups of native Americans and
turquoise can also have religious significance. These people also do sand
paintings on the ground during ceremonies using naturally colored sands.
The sand is poured between the hand's fingers to paint a picture which is
destroyed after the healing or other ceremony. A number of years while I
was growing up I had a sand painting design rug hung above my bed but the
design was not acknowledged as being accurate.

In a sense. I am from a class of people rather than from a country of

country I understand less than people from other countries with certain
value and belief systems.

Also color varies among the classes in a society whether as a sign of a
person's rank or as communications with another coding meaning only
understood by that class. Communication is a coding of ideas and meanings
as you are suggesting.

Bright yellow, or vague yellow?

The color depends on how long you boil it, the amount of water you use - I
used fresh lake water and drinking water so there would have been some
disolved minerals in the water. Rain water or water from a sand aquifer
might be different. - the type of onion might make a difference, the time
the liquid boils will change the brown side of the yellow or add black to it
if you are thinking of shades and hues, the more water you use in proportion
to onion the longer it takes to reduce. Different cloths have a different
color because some fibers will take dyes to a greater extent than others.
I guess the answer to your question is light yellow to brownish yellow.

Did it go into the healing rituals and prayers or did it just mention the
painting/drawing?

Chrome Green referrs to the color used for paper money here in the US.
(The design of paper money has been changed in recent years, though).

Was an interesting book. Actually might have been called Night Wing.
Had bats in it.
Iron in vinegar I believe is used to stain wood dark.

I wonder if that is the base for modern stains. It seems that no matter
where I go I end up being around mines of one sort or another. One area was
rural with old iron mines in it. The timbers were rotting and letting go so
the earth's surface would suddenly fall down into the mine. There were
areas one should not walk but nothing was marked back then. One just knew
to stay on the road.
Twenty years later I was in Wyoming and there at least they were pumping
dirt back into old closed mines in Rock Springs as I remember so they might
have in the north east too. I lived for a year in New York state and
explored all over the place in the area and I taught summer nature classes
in Maine which has a great many bogs and a few mines. The bogs seem to be
much younger than those in Ireland and other parts of Europe but I assume
the water is just as acidic and they function in much the same way. I love
bogs probably because so far I have stayed on top and not fallen through the
moss.
Anyway, the mine I remember in Maine seemed to be a couple people playing at
mining banging away at granite looking for something of value. The people
who invented the iron in vinegar stain must have had to mine in much the
same way as explosives weren't invented for thousands of years. They must
have picked up a medium sized rock and banged away at a cliff face and
stirred the powder into potions and experimental water based formulas as any
scientist would. An alchemist? Would they have tried giving it to people
to drink as a cure for upset stomache and aches and pains I wonder. Since
it would have been effective they probably did it a lot and noticed their
stirring stick changing color.
People certainly are inventive and creative.
