I once saw an American student wearing a light green hat,  he had just been appointed as a brand marketing director in China.
 I suggested to him that it would be better to learn about Chinese color culture,
as we all know not being aware of local customs could lead to serious issues. 
He appreciated my suggestion.
 In this video, we will also learn how to say other colors in Mandarin. 
It's a good idea to repeat and practice these colors with me in the video.
