Vivid colors in India
From architecture to clothing to food, bright, vivid hues are an integral part of Indian life, especially during festivals like Holi. Each color carries its own meaning:
• Red symbolizes love, passion, and fertility.
• Yellow represents joy, happiness, and knowledge.
• Green signifies nature, growth, and harmony, and is often associated with Islam in India.
• Blue is linked to divinity and transcendence, embodied by Lord Krishna, and is also valued for its calming effect.
• Orange, or saffron, denotes purity, spirituality, and sacrifice.
• White symbolizes purity and peace and is the color of mourning in some regions.[1]
While these colors play a significant role in Indian culture and festivals, Indian UI design often follows global trends. It's not always characterized by these traditional vivid colors. Many Indian digital interfaces incorporate modern, neutral color palettes, reflecting international design standards.
