The symbolism of the Russian colors

The Russian colors aren't just simple words! They have more meaning that you think! The main Russian color is red or krasny. It comes from the work beautiful, or krasivyy in Russian. This Russian color is one of the main of the Red Square, but the name of the square is believed to come from beautiful and not from the color. The Russian word for red is also associated with the communist era. Another Russian color that has an additional meaning is yellow. It is used to describe the press that doesn't offer well-researched news. Blue in Russian is used to describe the highest class of society by saying that these persons have blue blood. Another color in Russian that has a quite unexpected meaning is violet. It can be used in sentences to express indifference. For example: "Мне фиолетово." or "It's violet to me." meaning "I don't care about it.". Now it's time for you to learn the Russian colors and discover more about the Russian culture with their use.
