This is one of the best things I've seen on the internet in ages. I'm sure it's terribly simplistic and generalizes wildly, but what a fantastic thing! I love it and will refer to it in every technical report I do from now on, ever.

... or from common natural sources?
It's probably a good job that white is so common for 'truce', anyway.
What is interesting, though, is that some of the most important have the widest variability. Good luck, 'repels evil', love and death... these have got to be among the emotions most strongly linked with colour, and while each one shows similarities across some cultures, there are also big differences there too.
I'll go with 33 and 34.
