I think that it is awesome to know this kinds of things, but I will have to dispute on some things. I do not disagree with the white color attributes and the spiritual mark (and the knife eyes to someextent ), but the part about the green color is just wrong. Amon is far away from impulsive or violent and he is probably one of the best self-restrained villains in any show I have ever seen

"Do you want to see the face of your demise?"
*Takes of mask*
"U mad sis?"

srskate (06/13/2012) [-] Amon seems to have a very high degree of self control, and isn't very violent.

In kathakali:
Green= Godliness
White= Spirituality
Red= Ambition/ Violence
Black= Evil
Idk how this relates to Amon >_>

thereisaguy [OP]ONLINE (06/13/2012) [-] That's completely possible but a lot of Avatars mythology and symbolism is taken from a conglomeration of Asian cultures.
