RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The meaning of the color differs from country to country.
For example, in the US, the color of rising price is green and the color of falling price is red. But in Korea, the color of rising price is red, and the decline is blue.
The meaning of red is exactly the opposite.
So It had to be taken care of localizing the app.
CHALLENGE: The design was made in Seoul, Korea while it was developed in Vancouver, Canada. It was important to share each other's opinions. Because there are time difference between the designer and the developer.
