yang88 Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 Dear cecil,I read somewhere that chinese people consider it very inauspicious to use red color in the business card since it symbolizes romance. Is it true. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 13, 2000 Staff Share Posted July 13, 2000 Dear Anon,There is truth in what you mentioned as one seldom if ever come across anyone printing red background business cards.1. Most likely also because red background with black letterings is difficult to read. Red background with white letterings is considered not auspicious. White represents mourning or death to the Chinese.Maybe gold letterings can be used. So far, I have yet to receive or be given a red background business card.It is ok if the company logo e.g. is in red etc... and majority of the time, business cards are mostly white background or shades of white/grey/off-white/beige etc...Warmest RegardsCecil Quote On 7/13/00 12:54:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:Dear cecil,I read somewhere that chinesepeople consider it veryinauspicious to use red colorin the business card since itsymbolizes romance.
