For example white in many cultures represents purity and peace however in the Orient in countries such as China white is the color of mourning. Blue is often considered the color of heaven and the night sky and symbolizes meditation and spirituality. Red is energetic, vibrant and powerful and represents passion, creativity and growth in many cultures. Green represents paradise that is abundant with flowering trees and plants and the faithful spring that always returns. Green is also recognition and attainment.
