What role does color have in our lives? Do certain colors have special meaning to us, symbolize certain things? Do some colors affect the way we think and feel?

Color is a part of our lives. We have favorite colors, symbolic colors, colors that are worn for specific occasions and colors that are avoided. Black is a symbol of mourning.... white of innocence, and red of anger. In the novel, the author takes special care to note that blue is the color of peace, an irony in that it is one of the only colors Kira cannot make or obtain. In context, this inability implies that perhaps.... a lasting peace is beyond her people.
