Yellow; Colors

Yellow.

It's the color of the sun (which, technically, is a white dwarf), adorns many birds (among them, the sun conure), and is the color of many flowers. Also, it's one of two of Beach Bot's team colors. :D

According to Egyptian mythology, the color yellow is associated with gold, the sun, and indestructibility. Many flowers share this symbolism, such as tulips. Others have an unpleasant meaning. A yellow rose carries the message of infidelity.


At some point, I intend to sort out where these 'meanings' come from. Such as, why is a yellow rose infidelity, or the chrysanthemum associated with death in Italy? (The yellow chrysanthemum, in particular, is associated with slighted love.) Especially given that the chrysanthemum is November's flower. I love myths, and legends, and superstitions, though I don't believe any of them, but I'm more interested in where they come from.
