Abstract

Colors play a vital role in human existence, conveying meaning and emotions. Despite cultural variations, colors serve similar purposes across countries, adding aesthetics, status, and religious connotations. Color's significance in design as a global language grew with advancements in communication technology and the Industrial Revolution. The changing identities of household appliances throughout the 20th century highlight the importance of color in determining their status. In conclusion, color schemes correspond to the nature of work, with black and dark colors representing strength and elegance, pastel colors symbolizing collaboration, bright colors attracting attention, and white conveying sterility and hygiene. . . .
