Different colours mean different things to different people. It is also true to say that people see colours differently.
People can see seven colours; blue, green, indigo, orange, red, violet and yellow. The colour indigo is the hardest to see and many people have six-colour vision and see indigo as an off-shade of blue or simply as blue whereas other people may have only four or two-colour vision.
Colours are associated with the zodiac, partnership omens and psychology.
