Color

Red represents passion and aggression. It can also mean danger or blood. Blue represents calmness but can also represent depression. Are their truth to these sayings? Are there universal meaning represented by color alone? Some would say that if classroom walls were red, students were more prone to get into fights or be likely to talk. Classroom walls with subdued colors are thought to be conducive to educational productivity.

What contributes to this? I believe that society programs such thoughts into us but there may be some truth to much of this. For example, it is believed by some that we are afraid of the dark because our stone-age ancestors had to be wary of big predators at night.
