Abstract

This study examines the areas of convergence between the symbolic and conceptual meanings of colours using selected churches in Uyo Metropolis. To do this, 20 churches were randomly selected across the different denominations. Using survey design, data were collected from responses to questionnaire administered to the respondents and analysed using descriptive method. This research affirms that there are some relationships between conceptual meaning of colours and their symbolic meanings, as well as some areas of convergence and divergence in symbolization of colour. This study concludes by noting that colour is an unspoken language that communicates meaning and that the poor knowledge of the symbolisation of the colours could lead to a breach of communication and misconception. This study therefore recommends that language users in the different speech Communities should consciously learn what these colours symbolise for effective communication.
