The purpose of the present research was to study the role of color and its symbols in expressing feminine sentiments and emotions of Forough by using the new views of color psychology. The use of colors and feminine symbols were the means for Forough to communicate with her audience, expressing her feminine thoughts, speaking of a woman’s concerns and aspirations, and ultimately, defending her virtue as a woman. Regarding this element in her sentimental and feminine poetry contributed to a better understanding of her and, to a large degree, a decent connection of the audience with her feminine thoughts and feelings. This research was based on descriptive – analytical study, and according to the results obtained from the current study, red was at the highest frequency as the most vibrant color with a perfectly positive effect; after that black was considered as the heaviest color, which is the expression of the most feminine feelings in Forough’s poetry. Pink with the lowest frequency was used as an utterly feminine color; and other colors including white, green, silver, blue and gold, were roughly the same, reflecting the spirits, regrets, wishes, and chastity of this female poet.
