The most reliable source of explanation is what humans do around the world: Choose colors for their flags!
So try to figure out what they represent.
In most cases red is Revolution , blood for the contry.
White is Snow and pure state
Blue is a new day
Yellow (Vatican) is hope
Green(Muslims) is believe
Black (Pirates) is Terror----and Terrorists!
White is surrender----- peace
Orange is internal revolution for peace(Ukrain)
-In fact people are mistaken with the true interpretation of colors AND HERE IS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION:
1- In fact Red does not make angry and furious (common interpretation of red= make people furious) ,but rather cool down, because it is associeted with blood, which no one realy want to see it spread !
2- Blue is the color of the sky = of the day
and this is the color that make people wake up and if you want : make them in an active mood and furious!!
3-Yellow is the color of daylight and it sure make us Warm!!
4-Black is the color of the night : most of the human madness and crimes are made at night
5-Violet-Purple is the color of the sun set and that moment most people tend to cool down their tempers: as the day ends human is preparing to enter the night period , leaving the day light to complete darkness .So every day sunset is a anxious time that can be: calm or disturbing!!
It is the time that Leonardo da Vinci chose to most of his paintings: calm,disturbing and preparing for the night period.----So mysterious!
Green is the color of the grass,the color of a sort of life on earth: it is the symbol of Earth.
But green is also the color of hunger: animals eat it, people it it, insects run in it, even the sun likes it
Green is the color of living life!
White is an amusing color and is the color of amusing snow: People put white around them for two reasons:
it is the simplest of all colors and doesn't need much choice
it is a pure color and show up dirt!
it is like snow : majestic!
Flesh color: light pink or brown flesh or black or yellow. All flesh colors are the colors of the human flesh.
And flesh color is made to let people communicate between them at first Sight with ease and without much opposition
So All flesh tones and colors are made to ease the communication between people
Flesh color is rather smoothing color
Brown color is the color of earth:
people likes it because it tends to put their feets on earth and be stable:
it is the color of human stability
So as you see I tried to explain colors from a natural point of vue .

Different cultures have different terms for colors, and may also assign some color names to slightly different parts of the spectrum: for instance, the han character é (rendered as qÄ«ng in Mandarin and ao in Japanese) has a meaning that covers both blue and green; blue and green are traditionally considered shades of "é." In more contemporary terms, they are è (lán, in Mandarin) and ç¶ (lÇ, in Mandarin) respectively. Japanese also has two terms that refer specifically to the color green, ç¶ (midori) and ã°ãªã¼ã³ (guriin, from the English word). However, in Japan, although the traffic lights have the same colored lights that other countries have, the green light is called using the same word for blue, "aoi", because green is considered a shade of blue.
Similarly, languages are selective when deciding which hues are split into different colors on the basis of how light or dark they are. Apart from the black-grey-white continuum, English splits some hues into several distinct colors according to lightness: such as red and pink or orange and brown. To English speakers, these pairs of colors, which are objectively no more different from one another than light green and dark green, are conceived as totally different. A Russian will make the same red-pink and orange-brown distinctions, but will also make a further distinction between sinij and goluboj, which English speakers would simply call dark and light blue. To Russian speakers, sinij and goluboj are as separate as red and pink or orange and brown.
Color terms evolve. It is argued that there are a limited number of universal "basic color terms" which begin to be used by individual cultures in a relatively fixed order. For example, a culture would start with only two terms, meaning roughly 'dark' (covering black, dark colors and cold colors such as blue ) and 'bright' (covering white, light colors and warm colors such as red), before adding more specific color names, in the order of red; green and/or yellow; blue; brown; and orange, pink, purple and/or gray. Older arguments for this theory also stipulated that the acquisition and use of basic color terms further along the evolutionary order indicated a more complex culture with more highly developed technology.
A somewhat dated example of a universal color categories theory is Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution (1969) by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay. A more recent example of a linguistic determinism theory might be Is color categorisation universal? New evidence from a stone-age culture (1999) by Jules Davidoff et al. The idea of linguistically determined color categories is often used as evidence for the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (Language, Thought and Reality (1956) by Benjamin Lee Whorf).
Additionally, different colors are often associated with different emotional states, values or groups, but these associations can vary between cultures. In one system, red is considered to motivate action; orange and purple are related to spirituality; yellow cheers; green creates cosiness and warmth; blue relaxes; and white is associated with either purity or death. These associations are described more fully in the individual color pages, and under color psychology.
