•Is red really exciting? No. Controlled experiments have shown that red does not cause anymore excitement or arousal than any other color.

•Is red a "warm" color? No. We have been taught to believe red is warm because of its psychological associations with fire and heat .

•Red is a significant color in every culture on earth. True


•Did you know it was once thought the fat of a dead red-haired person (presumed to be of fiery temper) would make a good poison? Strange, but true.


�Yellow is considered a cheery, sunny color by Western cultures.

�Yellow is associated with death in some Asian cultures.

�Yellow is the first color to be noticed which is why it is now becoming a popular choice for fire trucks in some areas.

�Black is not a color. Black is a neutral.

�Black represents the unknown, maximum darkness, the negation of color.

�Does black make you look slimmer? No�not unless you're standing against a black wall. If you are wearing black and the background is a light color you will look larger. An object is judged in relationship to its similarity or contrast with its background.

�Black carries negative language connotations such as blackmail, black list, blackball, black market, black sheep.

�Black is often the garb of the revolutionary, from beatniks to punks.

�A black room like the one on the right may be considered sophisticated, strange or downright evil depending on our personal biases and perceptions.
