In Native American culture

In Native American culture

, colors have special significance.
Red is the color of war, violence.
Black, an inauspicious color (for most cultures) represents the "living" and is worn on the face during war.
White is the color of peace.
Green, when worn under the eyes, empowers the individual with a night vision.
Yellow is the most adverse color, representing death (the color of "old bones") and when a person is mourning. Also, yellow means a person has lived their life and will fight to the finish. Native tribes maintain their own culture and unique way of face painting.
