Many people give gifts or flowers in their relationship and they don’t ever stop to think about the color of the gift or the flowers.  The fact of the matter is that a lot of people associate different meanings with color, so before you give that gift you should know what message you are sending…even if it is not intentional!

Red:  When you give red roses or red flowers or a red gift of any type it is symbolic of love.  The connection between the color red and love was established years ago and it is the reason why red roses are generally the favored flowers for anniversaries and Valentines Day.

White:  The color white has long been associated with purity.  It is the same reason that most prides choose to wear white on their wedding day, it symbolizes the pureness of the woman, her love, or her intentions.  White flowers or gifts are a great choice when you are trying to convey the purity of the event or feelings.

Yellow:  The color yellow has many meanings in today’s society so you should be sure that you give yellow flowers or gifts with caution.  Yellow has been known to mean jealousy in the past, but it has also been used to welcome people home, and most recently the meaning behind yellow is friendship.

Orange:  The meaning behind orange is passion or enthusiasm.  If you want to let someone know that you are enthusiastic about your relationship with them or that you feel passion for them, orange is a great way to send this message to them in a very subtle way!

Purple:  Magic, intense love, passion are all meanings associated with the color purple.  If you want to give a gift based on color to someone that you are passionate about or that you share an intense love with, purple is a great color to choose!

Pink:  Joy.  Pink has long been associated with a wide variety of meanings but generally speaking the color pink is a good thing and expresses joy, happiness, and friendship.  Pink is a great way to share just about any message you want to convey.

As you can see, color really does matter when it comes to love and the gifts that you give when you are in love.  Generally speaking these colors are applied to flowers, but they carry the same meaning in any type of gift that you want to give.  You may make a gift more meaningful when you express to your mate why you chose the color that you did.  Giving gifts based on colors really is a lot of fun and will make the gift giving process so much more meaningful.
