Colour Connotations


I have created this page so it will help me to create my film poster and magazine. This is to help me to understand the unwritten meaning of colours.

Red- can connote two different meaning, the first being love, warmth, passion. The other being energy, speed, anger and danger.

Pink- connotes feminine, love, caring and nurture

Orange- Halloween, spooky, cheerfulness, enthusiasm, creativity, aggression

Yellow- joy, comfort, liveliness, hunger, overwhelm, summer, happiness.

Green- is associated with nature and earth however it can be seen to connote luck and power

Purple- connotes wealth, luxury and the higher class however in some cases it can be associated with magic, fantasy and mystery

Lilac- often used to match higher class women, same connotation as purple

Blue- symbolizes trust, wisdom, loyalty faith, calm and confidence

Dark blue- links to power, seriousness, depth and stability

Light blue- health, children, understanding and softness

White- is often related to innocence, perfection, fresh, neutral and mostly purity  


Black- often connotes negativity, hatred, darkness, death but used in different ways it can be connected to elegance, sexy, stylish and power
