According the turkish tradition the colors' meanings are:
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.
