What about colors?
Are there certain colors that seem to have a predisposition for evoking fear?
What colors evoke fear?
What colors seem to have no association to any sense of terror?
And if there are any colors, are those color associations shared across cultures?
I can only work in English and Japanese so those are the two cultures I will be working in.
So far my list is as follows:
RED - The Masque of the Red Death (free audio version available), The Red Beyond the Keyhole (Japanese,鍵穴の向こうの赤, my translation planned), The Red Room (free audio version available), The Red World (free audio in Japanese,赤い世界, no translation unless many requests)
ORANGE - ???
YELLOW - The Yellow Sign, The Yellow Wallpaper (free audio version available for both)
GREEN - Children of Light, Memories of Green (Japanese, 光の子供、緑の記憶, might translate it)
BLUE - Red Paper, Blue Paper; Story of Moon and Rain: The Blue Skullcap (Japanese, 赤い紙、青い紙；雨月物語、青頭巾; might translate them)
PURPLE- The Purple Cloud, 紫ちりめん 振袖火事 (vague recollection of this story. need to find source)
BLACK - The Black Cat (free audio version available), The Black Dog (free audio only)
BROWN - ???
WHITE - The White People (though not really scary; free audio version available)
Also, I have not read nor know of anyone who has read these, but these following are also more candidates for green:
The Green Mummy
The Green God
If you have read the above or can suggest others in either language, we would love to hear of them!
