In the movie "The Great Gatsby", what does the color represent?

Well...they did mention "green" light in the first chapter and I think it represent dreams, jealousy and hope of Gatsby. White represent purity and goodness. Yellow represent corruption and greed. I hope that help.

It symbolizes Evil. It is a representation of the Lord of the Flies himself, who is Beelzebub, or, broadly speaking, the Devil.

Our reaction to color is almost instantaneous and has a profound impact on the choices we make everyday. Below is a quick look at general responses to colors based on research, historical significance of color and word association studies. Different cultures react to colors differently and this brief overview focuses on the responses of people in the Western Hemisphere. \n\nRed has more personal associations than any other color. Recognized as a stimulant red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived. Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element. \n\nOrange, a close relative of red, sparks more controversy than any other hue. There is usually strong positive or negative association to orange and true orange generally elicits a stronger “love it” or “hate it” response than other colors. Fun and flamboyant orange radiates warmth and energy. Interestingly, some of the tones of orange such as terra cotta, peach or rust have very broad appeal. \n\nYellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy as well as spark creative thoughts. \n\nGreen occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world that is an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere. The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology. However, there is an “institutional” side to green, associated with illness or Government-issued that conjure up negative emotions as do the “slimy” or bilious greens. \n\nBlue is the overwhelming “favorite color.” Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable and committed. The color of sky and the ocean, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. As the collective color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming; however not all blues are serene and sedate. Electric or brilliant blues become dynamic and dramatic, an engaging color that expresses exhilaration. Some shades or the overuse of blue may come across as cold or uncaring. Blue is the least “gender specific” color, having equal appeal to both men and women. \n\nPurple embodies the balance of red simulation and blue calm. This dichotomy can cause unrest or uneasiness unless the undertone is clearly defined at which point the purple takes on the characteristics of its undertone. A sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative or eccentric types and is the favorite color of adolescent girls. \n\nBrown says stability, reliability, and approachability. It is the color of our earth and is associated with all things natural or organic. \n\nGray is timeless, practical, and solid. A longstanding favorite suit color, gray can mix well with any color. Although well like and often worn, people rarely name gray as a favorite color possibly because Gray also is associated with loss or depression. \n\nBlack is authoritative and powerful; because black can evoke strong emotions too much can be overwhelming. A classic color for clothing possibly because it makes the wearer appear thinner and more sophisticated. \n\nWhite projects purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. Doctors don white coats, brides traditionally were white gowns and a white picket fence surrounds a safe and happy home.\n\nSome of the studies done in the past such as the one mentioned about pink being the best color for prison cells have been in more recent studies proven not to hold up.  At one point people who were dieting were encouraged to buy blue light bulbs to

If you are talking about the Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway is made the narrator because he is a reliable one. He tells us that he reserves all his judgments, therefore, the reader can believe what he is saying is coming from an objective point of view.\n\nSo why is this in the swimming and diving section?

Nick Carraway, a young man from Minnesota, moves to New York in the summer of 1922 to learn about the bond business. He rents a house in the West Egg district of Long Island, a wealthy but unfashionable area populated by the new rich, a group who have made their fortunes too recently to have established social connections and who are prone to garish displays of wealth. Nick’s next-door neighbor in West Egg is a mysterious man named Jay Gatsby, who lives in a gigantic Gothic mansion and throws extravagant parties every Saturday night.\n\nNick is unlike the other inhabitants of West Egg—he was educated at Yale and has social connections in East Egg, a fashionable area of Long Island home to the established upper class. Nick drives out to East Egg one evening for dinner with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom, an erstwhile classmate of Nick’s at Yale. Daisy and Tom introduce Nick to Jordan Baker, a beautiful, cynical young woman with whom Nick begins a romantic relationship. \n\nNick also learns a bit about Daisy and Tom’s marriage: Jordan tells him that Tom has a lover, Myrtle Wilson, who lives in the valley of ashes, a gray industrial dumping ground between West Egg and New York City. Not long after this revelation, Nick travels to New York City with Tom and Myrtle. At a vulgar, gaudy party in the apartment that Tom keeps for the affair, Myrtle begins to taunt Tom about Daisy, and Tom responds by breaking her nose.\n\nAs the summer progresses, Nick eventually garners an invitation to one of Gatsby’s legendary parties. He encounters Jordan Baker at the party, and they meet Gatsby himself, a surprisingly young man who affects an English accent, has a remarkable smile, and calls everyone “old sport.” Gatsby asks to speak to Jordan alone, and, through Jordan, Nick later learns more about his mysterious neighbor. Gatsby tells Jordan that he knew Daisy in Louisville in 1917 and is deeply in love with her. He spends many nights staring at the green light at the end of her dock, across the bay from his mansion. Gatsby’s extravagant lifestyle and wild parties are simply an attempt to impress Daisy. Gatsby now wants Nick to arrange a reunion between himself and Daisy, but he is afraid that Daisy will refuse to see him if she knows that he still loves her. Nick invites Daisy to have tea at his house, without telling her that Gatsby will also be there. After an initially awkward reunion, Gatsby and Daisy reestablish their connection. Their love rekindled, they begin an affair.\n\nAfter a short time, Tom grows increasingly suspicious of his wife’s relationship with Gatsby. At a luncheon at the Buchanans’ house, Gatsby stares at Daisy with such undisguised passion that Tom realizes Gatsby is in love with her. Though Tom is himself involved in an extramarital affair, he is deeply outraged by the thought that his wife could be unfaithful to him. He forces the group to drive into New York City, where he confronts Gatsby in a suite at the Plaza Hotel. Tom asserts that he and Daisy have a history that Gatsby could never understand, and he announces to his wife that Gatsby is a criminal—his fortune comes from bootlegging alcohol and other illegal activities. Daisy realizes that her allegiance is to Tom, and Tom contemptuously sends her back to East Egg with Gatsby, attempting to prove that Gatsby cannot hurt him.\n\nWhen Nick, Jordan, and Tom drive through the valley of ashes, however, they discover that Gatsby’s car has struck and killed Myrtle, Tom’s lover. They rush back to Long Island, where Nick learns from Gatsby that Daisy was driving the car when it struck Myrtle, but that Gatsby intends to take the blame. The next day, Tom tells Myrtle’s husband, George, that Gatsby was the driver of the car. George, who has leapt to the conclusion that the driver of the car that killed Myrtle must have been her lover, finds Gatsby in the pool at his mansion and shoots him dead. He then fatally shoots himself.\n\n

That's  a funny question...and its not about being practical, but its about the beautiful picture of people becoming silhouettes against the sinking sun...It also symbolises the end of something (also the end of the movie).

The new found freedom of that era. and the parting and trying to keep up with the Joneses. the Great Gatsby is all about the american dream and trying to make it and be successful. the people in the book are trying to be "in" and by being "in" they also want to wear the latest fashions. also, the clothing worn in the book is typical of those with wealth and class. also the clothing worn at the parties is more liberal then what was worn in the past more victorian eras. much more freedom, lots of drinking and sexual freedom. many of the characters in the book were having affairs and cheating on thier spouses for example. so looser morals. more sexy clothing.\n\nalso- the character of Jordan represented old wealth and she dressed more classy and conservative.

it's something to do with color.

wow-interesting question.  I would say it depends on the shade.  Sometimes it looks like sickness, disease, infection.  Other times green looks like freshness, renewal, life, springtime, and growth--think trees, grass, leaves.  Green eyes look exotic and mysterious.  I guess colors come to represent different things to different people, green for money and wealth, green card for opportunity, green beret for honor and discipline...Have you ever wondered if we all see colors differently and just don't realize it?  My blue might be your green and your orange might be my some other color.  It would certainly explain why the lady down the street wears crazy colors and sees them beautiful.  By the way, I met a man who saw everything in black and white (literally), so if you can see color at all, you are ahead of the game.

white is consists of 7 colors,,,each color has a wave lenght different than the other,,u can see this in a cloudy day, as the light is divided by the clouds to these colors, another way is through a glass prism...red color means that the object absorb all the other light waves  and reflect the red wave,,the red waves is seen beneath  the net of the eyes,so the object seems to be smaller than its nature, opposite to the yellow as an example which seems to be bigger than its nature,, the only color appears like it is in real , is green (seen on the net exctley),,, So white is all the colors  and black is (no color)  , in  abetter term white and black are not colors...Red  is a sharp color, indicates dangers blood , desires, (that is why we use it in the traffic ligh to indicate dangerous  or in electrcity to indicate positive..)and they says who like red is sharp person (neat)
