Mary:Mrs James,there is a colour in each of the sentences.What do they mean?

Mrs James:In everyday English,Mary,blue sometimes means sad,yellow afraid.A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.

Mary:I'm afraid I don’t understand them a11.Would you give me an example for“a white lie”?

Mrs James:Certainly.Now I just give you some cakes.In fact you don’t like it,but you don’t want to let me know it.Instead you say,“No,thanks.I’m not hungry.”That’s a white lie.
