Russia The brightest color in the Russian language, and the one that has most positive connotations, is the color red. The word "red" in Russian (krasny) has the same root as the word "beautiful" (krasivy), and the meanings of these two words are indeed very close. Moscow's main square is called Red Square. Historically, it is believed the square was given that name not because of the presence of red buildings on it, but because it was considered to be beautiful. Russia also uses pattern extensively to add variety. Red Communism, revolution, beauty, Red Square, Metro station signs, Russian word for "beautiful" sounds same as English word for "red" Yellow Nature Sunflowers, Russian wedding color Gold Aristocracy Ukrainian coat of arms Blue Hope, purity, peace, serenity Virgin Mary Silver Religion Georgian art
