<p>Each element has colors associated with it. Water=blue/white, fire=red/orange/black, earth=green, air=orange/yellow. water and fire make sense: water is blue and snow/ice is white; fire is red/orange, and ash (result of fire) is black. but why is earth green and air orange/yellow? nothing about earth is green, unless you count certain jemstones (although bendable, not very common) and air is certaintly not orange or yellow. earth should be black or brown, the common color of dirt/rocks. air would be blue/white (color of clouds and the sky) but those colors are already taken by water (so what do you think air should be?) what do you think about this?

<p>This is correct. Problem is solved.

<p>Earth is always green. It was not the creators ideas.I also never understood the oran=ge/yellow thing either but i think the thing about the seasons makes sense.

<p>Tell that to the ancient chinese, which represented earth as yellow. Or pretty much any non-european culture. </p>

<p>The thing is "earth" doesn't only refer to dirt (usually brown or orange/reddish), the earth also has connotations with growth, health, and nature which is green. Brown isn't a great color for symbolism.... just because its a neutral (so is gray). I would assume that yellow/orange indicates happiness, although we should probably mention that yellow *is* the color of hope.
