This week, I’m going to look at three more colors and their multicultural marketing correlations. On a side note, I wonder what the multicultural marketing color correlation equates to too much sun on one’s body over the weekend? But seriously. 

Purple

Italy-Church, authority, Latin America-Death (fun times), US-Nobility, law, bravery

Red

Africa-Death and bloodshed, China-Communism, celebration, good luck, joy, fertility, Greece-Love and good luck, India-Birth, fertility, Mexico-Religion and vibrancy, Scandinavia-Strength, UK-Authority, government, power, US-Warning, passion, spice

White

Africa-Victory and purity, China-Death, mourning, purity, India-Death, rebirth, serenity, US-virginity

There is a book that I checked out at my local library that delves into global color graphic schemes, and it’s a VDS approved read:

“The Designer’s Guide to Global Color Combinations: 750 Color Formulas in CMYK and RGB From Around the World,” by Leslie Cabarga. Available throughout the Los Angeles Public Library branches.

The line between ones public and private lives are blurring. We are giving up our privacy so that we can be connected. Now with powerful handheld mobile devices we can be connected to everyone all the time. We are tethered to our mobile devices because we are addicted to being connected and we are loosing our privacy in the process. Guess what? It seems in the battle of public and private we opt for connection.

This is a powerful statement. You can see the effects of this mindset filter down to the rest of society. Where we demand more transparency from companies and government. Where we demand more public feedback in the design of our parks, recreation centers, and other public/taxpayer constructions. Where we demand an open source approach to programming, design, innovation, and customization.

We want to be heard. Don’t forget to tweet something!
