Question: Japanese Colour meanings?

Hi! Im doing a project at the moment, designing a Kimono.

The theme is earth and sky and I have already designed a motif based on traditional images.

Does anyone know if there are particular colours that represent earth and sky in Japanese culture? I would like to be as accurate as possible and not use any inappropriate colours. I have had a good search on the internet but not found anything to help.

Thanks :-)

Answer: Hello~ ^^

The following is for just Asia in general (just for future reference, for you) -->

Red: Happiness, marriage, prosperity
Pink Marriage
Yellow: Against evil, for the dead, geomantic blessings
Green: Eternity, family, harmony, health, peace, posterity
Blue: Self-cultivation, wealth
Purple: Wealth
White: Children, helpful people, marriage,
mourning, peace, purity, travel
Gold: Strength, wealth
Gray: Helpful people, travel
Black: Career, evil influences, knowledge, mourning, penance, self-cultivation

I found a good site that symbolizes certain characteristics in Japanese. There are also colors that have nature related meanings.

In here it says Brown represents ideas of Earth and Blue symbolizes the Sky and Water.

Hope this helps! Good luck with your project. :)
