Color symbolism, color effect, color meaning: What does that even mean?

Because colors are also of great importance in magical work, I will explain a bit more the symbolism and effects:

Color symbolism

Color symbolism refers to the meaning that certain colors have in different cultures or contexts. Colors are often used symbolically to express certain emotions or concepts. For example, red represents love and passion, while green is associated with nature and growth. Blue represents calm and confidence, while yellow is often associated with happiness and optimism.

Color effect

Colors also have a physical effect on us. They can make our heart beat faster, raise our blood pressure or affect our breathing. For example, blue can have a calming effect and reduce stress, while red increases our heart rate and makes us excited. The color effect can be taken into account when designing artworks, spaces or when choosing clothes to create a certain mood.

In western cultures, black is often associated with mourning and death, while in Asian cultures, white has this meaning. Red can symbolize luck and wealth in China, while in western countries it is often associated with danger and warning.
