Anthropology of Color

“The anthropology of colour covers the study of the colour aesthetic systems of different countries, the cultural symbolisms of colour and the optical differences in the psychology and perception of colour, as well as different geographical colour naming concepts such as those of a recent researcher, Paul Kay, on colour naming in different cultures.”
(ref. (http://www.coloracademy.co.uk/ColorAcademy%202006/subjects/anthropology/anthropology.htm ; 16th March 2012)

Because of custom, taboos, national association or religious reasons colors may be accepted or rejected. However, the modern world has made wonderful effort in creating taboo-free perception due to the global exposure.
