Clothings color meanings

• In everyday dress the colors dont mean anything.
  
• When people still wore their Hanbok everyday the
  preferred color was white. They stuck with the
  white for so long and so adamantly that the
  government almost banned the color!
• When they started to use a rainbow of colors they
  stuck to the basics red, yellow, blue, and
  green. The contrasting colors made the wearer
  look more attractive, and it determined the
  social standing of her husband.
