Some of our pr

4、eferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy.

5、ng and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect.

6、is exciting. Similar exposure to pure have exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances i
