Keywords:

Colors are an important part of every culture. They are not just visual elements but also symbols that carry meaning and emotion. One of the most interesting colors is white, because its meaning changes from one country to another. This paper discusses how the white color is understood in two very different cultures Uzbekistan and China. Although modern life has brought some changes, these old beliefs still influence people’s daily lives. By comparing these two cultures, the article shows how color symbolism reflects history, religion, and people’s way of thinking.
