Color Symbolism: European National Flags and Social Emotions
Original language description
The article focuses on a statistical analysis of the colour changes in European national flags over the years 1900-2020. The state flag has become the primary distinguishing symbol for all independent states in an international environment. Colours on European flags during the 20th century underwent several changes in the context of historical development. The author examines colours as an expression of collective emotion. The changes of colour occurrence are monitoring by using statistical methods as the linear regression and frequency analysis. The paper focuses on the dynamics of colour changes, according to the percentage of occurrence of all existing national flags, which were officially approved by the national parliaments. Research found, that only the primary seven colours accompany the modern European flag history (i.e. red, black, white, blue, green, orange and yellow). The colours on state flags refer to the long-term trends of the collective emotions (as universal emotions of P. Ekman, or moral emotions of J. Haidt). Methodologically, the author is inspired by current approaches of generative social sciences, cliodynamics or color psychology (especially theory of colors by Johann Wolfgang Goethe).
