lindsay said:The opposite (or complement) of yellow is violet, dark red-blue. The complement of red is green. Is the after-image of colors, when you shut your eyes, the complementary color? I think, when you mix colored pigments, red + green = black, yellow + violet = black, and so on. Mixing colored light is somewhat different, I understand.
Notice how three of these are some sort of clothing. So it is not farfetched to see the "yellow lower garment" as some kind of imperial garment. I'd say that this makes 2.5 mean something like there is "imperial" support for what you're doing. Truely "a source of good fortune" or "supreme good fortune" (depending on what you take 元吉 to mean).yellow as color of emperor;
黃榜 imperial edict;
黃袍 the imperial robe;
黃馬褂 the Yellow Jacket, rank conferred by emperor;
黃帶子 Yellow Girdle, Manchu nobility.
