Color psychology

Color psychology is the study of colors and hues as a determinant of human behavior. Color influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. Colors have qualities that may cause certain emotions in people.

How color influences individuals may differ depending on age, gender, and culture.
Although color associations may vary contextually from culture to culture, one author asserts that color preference may be relatively uniform across gender and race.
