Significance of Colors: The Color of St. Patrick’s Day is Green – which has symbolized luck to me but there is a whole different symbolism behind St. Patrick’s Day. See the below link for reference.
Just like names and numbers have a significant meaning and patterns, so do colors.

Colors are important when decorating, for different occasions, when deciding on a logo, for branding for your business, they represent different emotions, different feelings, different ideas and stimulate different parts of the mind and body.
My favorite color is purple – it has always been my favorite color. I have some coloring books from when I was a young child. The only color I used in the beginning in coloring books was purple. We had sooo many crayons in our coloring box because I only used the purple one and my mom had to buy another pack so I would have more purple ones! Lol
It’s funny how it has stuck with me all my life!
