The article I chose is called Color and Culture Matters. It focused on the color green and what it meant in different times and different places of the world. It mentioned that in the 15th century green symbolized fertility. Also it mentioned that in this century it symbolized "heightened sexuality" which is why on commercials the girl M&M candy is green and acts "sexy."
From reading the article I learned that I have to be careful about what colors I choose for different designs and advertisements. The color I choose are depending on who and what kind of culture I am making it for. The article also mentions that white is a color of mourning in China, so I would be careful of how I use the color white if I am making something for people who are from that country. It even slightly mentions that color effect different moods, so I would have to watch out for that as well.
