What about websites without Chinese characters? I know in Asia, having red colored names is kind of offensive (evokes of the Reaper's 'hit list').

Would be annoying if [name].me or whatever is red!

Black is associated with death in western culture and no one seems to be bothered.

I agree with you completely. Cultural sensitivity is a difficult thing when you have a global audience for your product or service.

Maybe as part of the locale configuration, in addition to number and date format, people should pick a friendly and an offensive color! :)
