Last night at youth group we were dicussing covetting and referred to "the green-eyed monster" and confused one Cantonese speaking parent. Once he figured out what we were talking about he said that jealousy is red-eyed. White is associated with death in some cultures rather than black.
In English we have
jealousy
sadness
despair
cowardice

Does anyone know examples form other cultures? Especially those where you would actually say "he is yellow" or "I am feeling blue" as though the color was the emothion.
