Challenges teach us to become more empathetic individuals
Life is an intriguing game with many obstacles
In every journey, challenges make our story more colorful
Pink: Friendship
Pink represents friendship, inner peace and approachability. The color is said to improve relationships, and encourage love and affection. If you are hoping to strengthen your connection with people in the New Year, give pink a try.
Orange: Amusement
Orange has come to symbolize "frivolity and amusement," suggests Shutterstock. And we can all use the reminder that life is short, and we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously.
Green: Prosperity and New Beginnings
Green is closely associated with nature. Just think of the spring, as the snow thaws and plants begin to bloom again — the color is everywhere! Green is closely tied to vitality and new life.
Yellow: Hope and Optimism
In Western cultures, the color yellow conveys optimistic attributes like happiness and positivity. It's also the color of sunshine and sunflowers (and who doesn't love either?). Add some yellow accents for a touch a brightness!
Red: Joy and Ambition
You'll see this color all over Lunar New Year celebrations. That's because red symbolizes fire, and it is thought to bring good luck and good fortune.
Purple: Powerful and Luxury
Purple has long been associated with royalty, but do you know why? For centuries, purple dye was made by harvesting sea snails, which made the color rare and very expensive. Now, the color purple is more accessible, but it still carries that regal air. Purple decorations or party lights help create a funky atmosphere.
Silver: Sleek and Modern
Shiny and futuristic, silver is a color that has been closely associated with New Year's celebrations in recent history. Perhaps this is because the metallic hue is so reminiscent of the shiny new technology "tomorrow" will bring?
Blue: Positive and Relaxing
Yes, we do call them "the blues," but this color has actually been known to induce feelings of calm and relaxation. In fact, in many Latin American countries, blue symbolizes hope and good health.
White: New and Pure
Like the first snowfall, white is often linked to purity and serenity. An all-white color scheme will give your New Year's party a clean slate, perfect for new beginnings.
Gold: Success and Money
We often see the metallic gold color used for money or trophies to symbolize success and accomplishment. Who wouldn't want to ring in the new year with a little good fortune and money?
