B
Most people have a favourite colour, and how people feel about colours depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products(产品) all over the world. They might choose a colour because they think it is exciting or nice, but in another country, that same colour could be used to give a sad meaning. Look at these examples.
If you ask someone in Britain what the right colour is for a bride(新娘) to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other Eastern countries, brides often wear red because the colour red means good luck and happiness. Red is an unusual colour for a British bride to wear. In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning things are often in red. In Eastern cultures, the colour red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the colour for death(死亡). In Britain and other Western cultures, death and funerals are usually linked to the colour black, but in many Eastern countries, white is the colour people think of when it comes to death and funerals.
Many people like the colour orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers(广告商) will not use orange in their advertisements because people may think the products are cheap and not very good.
In a word, colours have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the right colour in some special situations.
