I’m going to have to agree and disagree with that statement at the same time. Color in nature is a characteristic that has historically associated with different psychological states,
group association and even sexual characteristics going as far as clearly showing visible signs to would be predators from even plants.
Being associated with something doesn't mean they are inseperably intertwined. I can associate the color yellow with you, doesn't mean you as a person are defined by that color
To say color is meaningless
I didn't say that.
and is not an or can’t be an outright expression of how one feels or just is, is simply not true.
Of course it can be used to express whatever someone wants to express. That's a completely different matter though. It's your assumption that pink expresses being soft, not O'Malley's own statement that he wishes to express softness with that color.
Color has purpose, and each color has its own purpose.
And purpose can be quite different depending on the circumstances. They aren't fixed meanings by each independent color.
