Hey you great QC people,
I'm working on a philosophy essay right now (it's about the thought experiment of Mary and whether or not she learns something new when she sees a tomato), and in the course of wondering about colours I'm askin myself what people associate with different colours in different parts of the world. I was brought up in England and Germany, and here's what I was taught to associate with different colours:
yellow - jealousy
red - either love or rage
blue - sadness ("feeling blue", "having the blues")
green - hope
black - mourning
I'm not trying to get you to do my homework for me, I'm just wondering about this and you are the big:)gest international crowd I have access to. Hopefully this will be not completely uninteresting for other people. I would greatly appreciate it if a few people could say where they where brought up, and what they associate with these or different colours, whether it are the same things or something completely different!
Edit: I hope this is the right space for this, I didn't think I could really justify making a new thread for this.
Thanks!
