What colors should I use for painting a Chinese design?

I am using stencils of Chinese symbols to design a gift, but I wasn't sure what colors I should and should not use. I am definitely using red and gold, but I wasn't sure if I could use white. I vaguely remember hearing that white should never be used in Chinese art, but I could have misinterpreted it.

What colors should I use for painting a Chinese design?
In many chinese designs they use a lot of reds, black, green, yellow and white!!
