What colour is the sea? It's blue. What colour is the grass? It's green. What colour is the snow? It's white. Everything has its own colour.
In an art class, our art teacher says, "Red, blue and green are three primary colours(三原色). If we put red and green together, we can get yellow. If we put red and yellow together, we can get orange." That's interesting.
Different colours can give us different feelings and they have different meanings. The same colour also has different meanings in different places. In China, people like red very much because they think red can give good luck to them. But in Thailand, it is a bad colour.
In most countries, people like green, but people from England and Japan don't like it. In Australia, people think black cats can give them good luck. But in America, people
prefer white cats. They're cute animals and they bring good luck to people.
In our lives, we can learn about the meanings of different colours. Then we can use colours in a right way.
