Symbolism of Color: Using Color for Meaning
I was initially surprised to see such a large resource dedicated to the different meanings of colors, as I thought that colors didn't typically have meanings. However, once I started reading, I found that it was all rather obvious to me (black = death, blue = water, green & red = Christmas). I initially considered referencing what the colors meant in the backgrounds of students that I have that are from other countries, but realized that so many of them carried opposite meanings, that it would be impossible to find something that works in all settings.
Fortunately, the decision has been made for me: our school copier is black and white only. Sorry kids, but your worksheet is death colored today, again.
