Managing images in different cultures: A Cross-National Study of Color Meanings and Preferences by Madden
[Madden, Hewett, and Roth (2000) analyzed the emotions associated with colors cross-culturally to determine the role of color combinations in brand logos. They found that blue, green, and white colors were associated with peaceful, gentle, and calming effects, both in Western and Eastern cultures.]{Color and Design}
Colour as a Semiotic Mode: Notes for a Grammar of Colour by Kress
[Color communicates meanings at three levels; ideational, interpersonal, and textual. At the ideational level color helps to identify "the representations of the world" including specific people, places, or ideas. Association of the color orange with the Netherlands or vibrant pink with breast cancer can be examples of ideational roles of color. Color conveys interpersonal meanings when it is used "to do things." For example, the use of yellow and orange colors to warn people against danger is regarded as interpersonal meaning. Finally at the textual level color can be used to convey "unity and cohesion." Kress and Leeuwen (2002) use the example of different door colors in a building associated with different departments that create unity within each department but at the same time, distinguish the different departments.]{Color and Design}
Color and symbolic meaning of elements in nature by Kim
[According to Kim (2006) the image of nature can be expressed by four elements: fire, earth, water, and air, and by the colors that represent them: red, yellow, green, and blue. The author suggests that these colors can convey a nature-friendly message. - Kim also did a content analysis of fashion magazines within ten years and found that even the colors used in fashion convey a natural theme that would undergo change every season to give rise to new trends.]{Color and Design}
Color in Folklore and Traditions by J Hutchings
[categorized the symbolic uses of color under three driving forces, as economical, historical, and social. As an example to economic forces: achromatic colors of black, gray and off-white are inexpensive and easily cleaned and thus can provide suitable dress for individuals unable to afford other clothing. Historical driving forces include the use of color in a patriotic sense. Color as a social driving force conveys messages for healing purposes, rites of passage, and supernatural forces.]{Color and Design}

[Research shows that colors invoke specific and consistent emotions in people and that these emotions can change as people age. A study of colour- emotion linkages in adults found that bright colours (e.g., white, pink, red, yellow, blue, purple, green) produced more positive responses than dark colours (e.g., brown, black, gray)]{Color and Design}

The Order of Things by Foucalt
[When the pattern becomes widely accepted so as to become invisible, it has in fact been normalised. Foucalt calls this process of normalisation a "different type of power," one that "has established itself without ever resting on a single institution but by establishing interactions between different institutions" (2003: 26)] Color and Design
