Colored envelopes: Don't be blue

Have you ever wondered about what certain colors mean? Let's say you want to send a friend a cheerful card. Colored envelopes can arouse certain feelings in a person. In fact, most of us aren't even aware of the messages we receive from different hues and tints. Yellow might be a choice for your friend, since it represents joy, happiness and optimism. We often say a person has a sunny disposition- yellow represents the sun and can be great greeting card envelopes.

Let's say you have a friend or relative that is in the hospital. Red would not be a good choice for a card or gift since it can make the heart beat faster. In China red is often used for celebrations and as a sign of luck.

Purple tends to represent royalty. That's probably because it was once made from the mucous gland of the snail. Thousands of snails would be needed to make a very small amount of dye. If you weren't nobility, you couldn't afford purple! Still considered an exotic type of color, you'll be happy to know that we sell very affordable purple specialty envelopes.
