Image//Book Works//Yellow by Religion.

Researching for the contents of my 'Yellow & The psychology of colour' book, one of my initial considerations was to include 'religion' as well as 'cultures' (countries/nations) when considering the meanings and messages that the colour yellow conveys. I decided to include the "big 5" religions- Sikh, Islam, Christianity, Hindu, and Judaism. However, despite finding great range and diversity within four of the religions, I discovered that the colour yellow in Judaism is traditionally viewed very negatively as it was the colour used on the bands that were forced to be worn on the arms of Jewish people throughout several points in history (including enforcement by the Nazis in concentration camps) so that Jewish people could be distinguished in communities- therefore, being very Anti-Semitic. Therefore, I have decided to avoid the subject of religion all together. I feel that Judaism is undoubtedly one of the most commonly practice religions in the world and excluding it (for politeness) would seem a 
little unusual. Research of the meanings can be found below:
