The Hudoq Mask of the Kenyah Dayaks, from Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo)
The color red, black, white and yellow. Of course they were derived  from the easy-to-find earthy pigments such as clay, coal, chalk and  ochre, but still, it&amp;#8217;s amazing for me that these colors often crop up  as divine representations, symbols or cosmological concepts. On the  contrary, blues and greens are somewhat rare, even though the colors exist in  nature in such abundance. The pigments that produce blue and green however, are not.

The Balinese represent the Hindu trimurti with  the color red, white and black - each representing Brahma, Vishnu and  Shiva, although I forget which is which. Two oceans and two continents  apart, the Mayans had Chac the god of rains and thunder, which was an  embodiment of four separate gods: the Red Chac of East, White North  Chac, Black West Chac and Yellow South Chac; while some other cultures  view red, white, black and yellow as primary colors of mankind, and are  considered sacred.

I can confidently say that all four colors have been  overrepresented in artworks crafted and fashioned by virtually all  indigenous cultures across the world.
It&amp;#8217;s just wonderful.
