Abstract

Like the world as a whole, social life has revealed itself to people through colors. Colors are no different from words and body language; they are an essential medium of social communication. Concurrently, they are subject to societal scaling. Throughout the course of history, specific traditions and conventions have developed in the social usage of colors. The coloristic regulation systems of the interactions between individuals and groups are strongly related to the interdependencies of societal formations of classes, stratifications and institutions. These relationships have again succumbed to change. Colors have become involved early on in the maelstrom of political, economic and cultural power struggles. How such socio-chromatic arguments are performed and which changes have occurred is discussed in this article via literary testimonials and historical examples.
