I think that you are spot on with this description. It is almost gold but not quite there.

I agree with you, but I think that red also means something a little different. I think red is an extremely bold color and represents the forefront of technology and social class.

Red definitely symbolizes greed. -Clayton

I totally agree, red has throughout history represented a desire to gain wealth, spanning cultures and time. An example being China, where red has long been regarded as a royal color for its symbolization of power and wealth.

Your description of the significance of yellow in this book is very apt, providing an accurate example of the contradictions between Gatsby's gilded, golden exterior, and disguised, yellow interior.

Page 47: A trail of cocktails floated at us through the twilight and we sat down at a table  with the two girls in yellow and three men- each one introduced to us as Mr. Mumble

-Zayne

I think yellow symbolizes energy in the two girls. They sit down with Nick, Jordan, and three other men. They seem to be instantly involved in the conversation and want to find out more about Nick. They also want to gossip about various topics, even without being familiar with Nick.

Rich Cream Color of Gatsby's car: It was a rich cream color, bright with nickel, swollen here and there in its monstrous length with triumphant hatboxes and super boxes and tool-boxes, and terraced with a labyrinth of windshields that mirrored a dozen suns. (pg. 68 - Cody

I think that the bright shiny color of the car is supposed to relate to Gatsby's lifestyle. Bright, and almost loud. I feel like it is meant to bring attention to itself and the owner. - Cody

"... I drove into West Egg Village to search for her among soggy white-washed alleys and to buy some cups and lemons and flowers." -Line 1, Page 89

White is the color in which the walls of the alleys of West Egg Village had painted. The white represents the simple, unembellished style of the village, in sharp contrast to the stylish, wealthy East Egg.

The color black, I think, symbolizes the middle, hard working people and the industrialization of the setting in the book.

"At Gatsby's parties even the turkeys turn to gold."(Gatsby 41

This means that gold represents wealth and everyone wants this.

Gatsby has colors like green and gold, the colors of money. One example is page 21, "and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of the dock." This could mean the only thing he sees in the darkness is fame

Katie: the color represents tranquility and sadness that Gatsby feels like “the blue leaves" or "blue curtains"

# data[].attributes.body
Yellow: The color yellow throughout the great Gatsby always seems to represent Gatsby himself. Gold has always been a very fancy and sophisticated color, something Gatsby has always pursued. Yellow represents a fools gold, showing that Gatsby may be a fake. Later on it is revealed how Gatsby earned his millions. The color may also represent Daisy's hair, as described on page 21.
"The lamp-light, bright on his boots and dull on the autumn-leaf yellow of her hair,"
This may also describe a fools gold as Daisy is slowly revealed not to be the person Gatsby wants her to be. The color yellow represents the book very well and helps add a depth to the book that may not be very apparent at first glance.

Chris: To Gatsby the light indicates his dreams. When Nick first sees the light it is also the first time he sees Gatsby. The green light also symbolizes Gatsby's want for daisy, who is the pinnacle of wealth.
