We all know that color is used heavily in society in almost every way possible but color can also be used in several negative ways also. For example, color is a popular distinguishment in gangs. It seems that the beautiful red, blue, green, and yellow has a dark side in this context. Worldwide gangs such as Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, and other gangswear the colors as code or a source of distinguishing gangs. Bloods use red as a symbol of blood shed or blood brothers to represent family. Crips use blue and latin kings used yellow. The groups use colored bandana's as a symbol of the flag the represent. It looks like these colors aren't always used simply for aesthetic purposes.
