Chinese traditional color matching refers to the use of traditional Chinese colors in harmony and contrast to create aesthetically pleasing compositions. These colors often have symbolic meanings and are derived from nature, such as red (auspiciousness), green (prosperity), and yellow (emperor). Traditional color palettes include the Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) and the Six Colors (red, yellow, blue, white, black, green). In design, these color combinations are used to evoke cultural heritage and historical significance.
