you mean instead of ‘red’ and ‘green’ say for ’stop’ and ‘go’? what caught your interest about the use of these colours?
Yes, I found it a curious selection.
What does red mean in a Chinese context?
- Stop, as in traffic lights
- Prosperity - a very ancient association
- Communism - a more recent link
And blue? I don’t know, but I’ll ask around.
And yes, I wondered why permission was being granted with red, but denied with blue. Why that way round?
