Alb, verde, rosu – capitulare, invidie, viteza
Asocierea culorilor variaza de la cultura la cultura, asa cum fiecare limba sau dialect are colocvialisme unice ce sunt adesea neintelese sau isi pierd intelesul prin traducere. In multe culturi vestice sentimentele de invidie sau gelozie sunt associate cu culoarea verde. In Germania sentimentul este mai degraba asociat cu culoarea galbena, dupa cum spune expresia “galben de invidie”, si este similar cu araba unde aceeasi asociere este facuta in expresia “fata I s-a facut galbena de invidie”.

Color associations vary greatly from culture to culture, just as each language or dialect has unique colloquialisms that are often misunderstood or lost in translation. In many Western cultures the feelings of envy or jealousy are commonly associated with the color green. However, in German the feeling is most closely related to the color yellow, as the phrase „gelb vor neid,” or „yellow with envy” suggests.
