COLOURS. 

They represent so much. In the world of dreams,and even in reality. Your favourite colour can even represent your standard personality. Athough I have never understood those who didn't have a favourite colour o_O. I love RED. It's so bright and O_O. Hehe. What does Allah say about colous?

"Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the cloud, then We bring forth therewith fruits of various colors; and in the mountains are streaks, white and red, of various hues and (others) intensely black?" Quran (35-27)

The term "yellow belly" is proof of that.
