Mony Almalech has found the mystic roots of the color language in the folk cultures of Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, different ex-Yougoslav nations, Turkey. Non-color meanings are found in traditional marriage and burial among Balkan peoples. In order to explain the Balkan color language he has collected many springs of secret knowledge - Jewish Kabbalah, Islam, ancient Greece and Rome, Egypt. Ancient mystic religious secret knowledge is accepted as a strategy for choosing a color for different parts of traditional folk costumes.
