We would include money for western cultures too. But then I came across the entry for Thailand. Green is the colour of the day for Wednesday. There is a colour for each day:
Sunday - red Monday - yellow or cream Tuesday - pink Wednesday - green Thursday - orange or brown Friday - light blue Saturday - purple or black
What happens in a society where there is a colour for each day? The colours for the King and Queen of Thailand are significant, and the population wears yellow for the King and blue for the Queen on their birthdays. Political controversy is expressed in yellow shirts by the Alliance for Democracy. Those opposing this group wear red shirts. Those who want to be neutral wear pink shirts. For the photographer, this is a visual feasts.
There's more information on colours in Thailand here.
