What does khaki stand for in Japan?

In Japan, black is used for funerals, and red is used for adult festival and 60th birthday celebration. Japanese like red, white, blue, orange and yellow, and avoid black and white, green and dark gray. Traditionally, red is regarded as a lucky color, such as red bean rice, red and white rice cakes, or red and white hard paper ropes tied on gifts, vertical red lanterns hung on high buildings in festivals, and red sleeveless coats worn outside kimonos to celebrate the 77th birthday. In Japan, it is an ancient custom to dress newborn babies in yellow clothes and make quilts for patients with yellow cotton. This is because yellow is considered as the color of sunlight, which can keep warm. In Japan, blue means youth, teenagers or children, which indicates that you will go to society and start your life. White is the color of innocence and whiteness. In Japan, God officials and Shang both wear white clothes, giving people a clean feeling. Since ancient times, white was once the color of the emperor's clothing among the colors expressing status. The significance of the safety color specified in Japanese Industrial Code (JIS): red indicates fire extinguishing and stopping; Orange means danger; Yellow indicates attention; Green represents ambulances and passages; Blue represents caution; White indicates that the road is under repair.
