Green
is the holy color of the Prophet - particularly for orthodox
Mohammedans - and is used sparingly and only in places which are
unlikely to be trodden on. In addition, as with us, green is
regarded as the color of hope, renewal, life and Spring.
Red is
a color of fire, enthusiasm, courage, luck, joy, virility and
faith. However, red also carries the association of sorrow and
calamity.
Blue stands for a sense of strength
and power or force.
Orange has the meaning of humility
and piety; it is the color of the Dervishes.
Yellow is a color of the sun, radiating the joy of life.
White is, as already stated,
associated with innocence, cleanliness, purity of heart and
selflessness.
Black is rarely found in carpets
except for design outlines and is the color of mourning. |
