Here is some interesting information about how our brain is affected by color, and it is more complicated than we might have thought. It seems that our brains are highly tuned color “detection and cataloguing machines.” The article points out some things we should definitely know.

• Don’t look at the color red before taking a test. We can get a bit “scatterbrained.”
• Blue may help us take “bigger leaps” and make “wilder assumptions” – because, culturally, blue is seen as “safe.”
• Lifting a green box feels lighter than lifting a black box.

Follow the links in the article. You will find more interesting and useful information.
