Here's a couple. I searched for nyse display and china stock market display. There's a lot of examples when you do those searches. https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-JH281_0708NY_M_20150708130815.jpg https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-JH281_0708NY_M_... https://c8.alamy.com/comp/A14FJ5/a-screen-with-the-market-share-prices-written-in-chinese-for-the-shanghai-A14FJ5.jpg https://c8.alamy.com/comp/A14FJ5/a-screen-with-the-market-sh... You can also do a text search for china red green stocks, or japan red green stocks. Bonus fun fact: If the little display on the taxi in japan is red, that means available, and green means occupied.

  The post I replied to talked about websites and they didn't say different colors were used in some circumstances, they literally mean different things. Why does everyone have the same colors in traffic lights (except for japan's blue lights which comes from language, not cultural significance) https://www.rd.com/article/heres-japan-blue-traffic-lights/ https://www.rd.com/article/heres-japan-blue-traffic-lights/ It's funny that this person speaks multiple languages and actually used different apps but was downvoted anyway. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40271465 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40271465

    > The post I replied to talked about websites and they didn't say different colors were used in some circumstances, they literally mean different things. I'll quote it again. "UI colors can have different meanings in different cultures." And all the examples I gave have red meaning opposite things in user interfaces based on cultural assumptions. Off/danger. Number up/number down. Occupied/available. Websites were just one example of UI. > It's funny that this person speaks multiple languages and actually used different apps but was downvoted anyway. They said they haven't seen any. That doesn't override actual examples!

      How do you know any of that is cultural and not just something due to arbitrary choices made a long time ago that became standards? If it was cultural then newer designs like computer interfaces would be affected. Also you ignored traffic lights.

        > arbitrary choices made a long time ago that became standards That sounds like a description of culture. > If it was cultural then newer designs like computer interfaces would be affected. Does the big TV run by a computer not count as an interface? Okay, do you have some pictures of chinese stock websites? > Also you ignored traffic lights. What about them? Yes Japan uses the same color scheme as the US for traffic lights. Because the idea spread that way. I don't see how that's relevant to either of my examples that talked about Japan? ...you're not suggesting that one situation where colors match invalidates situations where colors are different, right?

        That sounds like a description of culture. So either colors were chosen because they have a deep cultural meaning or they were chosen arbitrarily?
        Dylan16807 2y ago
        Those are the options, yes. Or a mixture. Older choices affect newer choices, and consistent choices become culture. Once upon a time, stock chart makers made an arbitrary choice influenced by older choices that had become culture. Those older choices being a general association with fortune, and a specific association with loss of money. (With intermediate steps, I think, but I'm being brief.) And those associations were different for different groups. Now the chart colors are part of culture too. A choice being arbitrary doesn't mean it was random. You can trace the influence here. But even if it had been random, it's culture now. Money in red has implications, and the implications vary.
