Color Related Facts

Now that we’ve studied some colors in Urdu we can present you with some general color facts. Perhaps the most fascinating is that men and women see colors differently. For genetic reasons, the red-orange spectrum is viewed differently depending on your gender.

Worldwide, the most popular color is blue – neela (نیلا)Interestingly, the second most popular is purple – jamni (جامنی). Historically, purple was an extremely powerful color. It was the color worn by the Roman emperor– a trend started by the most powerful Roman emperor of all time Julius Caesar.

If you’re still reading this list, but you find yourself inexplicably nervous, perhaps you suffer from chromophobia or phobia of color.

The most famous example of color being used to evoke an emotion is the red flag waved at a bull. In Western culture, red, (as well as being related to love) has also been associated with anger and violence as in the English expression to ‘see red’ just before you lose your temper. In fact, bulls are largely colorblind so it isn’t the red that gets them agitated, but the motion of the flag itself.
