RED is the color of anger, hot temper, feisty, flashy, high rank, royalty.
PURPLE is the color for royals, upper class, or flashy, ostentatious people.
YELLOW is child-like, bubbly personality, attention-catching.
GREEN/BROWN signifies down-to-earth, simple. Emerald green can be used for royals, high rank.
GOLD signifies wealth, royalty.
WHITE can mean angelic, pure. Under bright light, white stands out a lot, thus anyone who wears it will stand out on stage.
