Color can make us feel certain ways. For example, oragne is believed to make people hungry. That's why so many fast-food restaurants are painted orange inside. Bubblegum pink is believed to calm people down. It has been used in prisons.
There's a scientific explanation for how color affects our feelings. Each color has a particular wavelength. When it strikes the color-sensitive cones at the back of the eye, the cells fire, sending nerve signals to the brain. This may release certain brain chemicals which determine our moods.
There's no right or wrong way to respond to color. Orange may make you feel hungry- or it may make you feel too nervous to eat. The way you feel about color is part of your personal style. Compare how you matched colors & traits to how most other people match them.
