Summary/Abstract: The colors in art influence through the power of the symbolism embedded in them, which in the past historical epochs was the key through which the artist has noticeably approached the spiritual, the unified and complete world. Some color values from the past are preserved for a long period of time, while others are transformed with a certain meaning in time, depending on various factors such as religion, cultural traditions, geographical location, etc. In modern times, the symbolic meaning of color is rethought with a new content, often uniting those laws that were once the basis of ancient knowledge.
