traditional Japanese color

I find an interesting article about Japnaese colors from the website http://www.temarikai.com/meaningoftraditionalcolors.htm

We always find red and white, blue and white, these two color combinations for Japanese fashion. They have certain meaning. Red and White are auspicious colors (good luck). You will find the two colors used for many special occasions, such as weddings, and births.

Blue and White are also prominent colors in Japanese fabrics and dishware. Yukata is a blue and white cotton fabric used to make summer kimonos called "yukata". It is also used for the "temari-like" patterns found throughout their dishware.

The website also tells that Japanese culture is closely linked with the seasons, so each month is also represented by a nature reference.
