Color, in essence, is much more than an optical phenomenon. That is, all have their own meaning. All have a specific impact on our brain, and therefore, the psychology of color is today a basic and essential tool in neuromarketing. Baraniuk C. "Can blue lights prevent suicide at train stations?". www.bbc.com . Retrieved 2020-03-11. The color of a light source affects the apparent color of an object the light shines on. For example, the color of an object might appear different in the light from the sun versus from an incandescent (tungsten) light bulb. With the incandescent light bulb, the object might appear more orange or "brownish", and dark colors might look even darker. [23] Light and the color of an object can affect how one perceives its positioning. If light or shadow, or the color of the object, masks an object's true contour (outline of a figure) it can appear to be shaped differently from reality. [23] Objects under a uniform light-source will promote better impression of three-dimensional shape. [23] The color of an object may affect whether or not it seems to be in motion. In particular, the trajectories of objects under a light source whose intensity varies with space are more difficult to determine than identical objects under a uniform light source. This could possibly be interpreted as interference between motion and color perception, both of which are more difficult under variable lighting.

Common associations connecting colors to a particular emotion may also differ cross-culturally. [12] For instance, one study examined color relationships with emotion with participants in Germany, Mexico, Poland, Russia, and the United States; finding that red was associated with anger and viewed as strong and active. [79] However, only Poles related purple with both anger and jealousy while Germans linked jealousy with yellow. This highlights how the influence of different cultures can potentially change perceptions of color and its relationship to emotion.

As such, referential meaning is learned and often dependent on contextual cues. For example, the referential meaning conveyed by the use of the color brown in effervescent beverages can evoke notions of cola taste, which are drawn from the learned association of prominent cola brands adding caramel color to their products. White: As many of our readers have suggested, the color white can feel fresh and clean. The color is often used to evoke a sense of youth and modernity.

The color of placebo pills is reported to be a factor in their effectiveness, with "hot-colored" (red, yellow, etc.) pills working better as stimulants and "cool-colored" (blue, purple, etc.) pills working better as depressants. This relationship is believed to be a consequence of the patient's expectations and not a direct effect of the color itself. [31] Consequently, these effects appear to be culture-dependent. [32]

Understanding how the consumer reacts to certain color stimuli can lead to higher sales. Although it’s not always 100% correct, we can see similar patterns of reaction that show us that, indeed, the psychology of color is useful. Taylor C, Schloss K, Palmer SE, Franklin A Rita Riggs".
