Colorful sayings

In every Color there is a duality, both its positive and negative side.
As each of the six Colors can manifest in two ways, they have two meanings that oppose themselves. Because of that, thorough history, there were many sayings that were based on them. Most of them were created by those who want to mask their sarcasm, while others could be said with sincere honesty but risk being understood in the wrong way. Most of them rely on the context of the situation, but even there, more than often, using them ends up in confusion on both sides.
Those sayings have been used for centuries now, ever since effects of the Colors and locations of Color Nests have been known, but it's mostly teens using them, who think they have discovered a new slang.
So despite the doubts using them can create, they use them simply to sound cool or even rebellious.
