People usually talk
about two groups of colours: warm colours
and cool colours. Scientists think that
there are also two kinds of people:
people who prefer warm colours and
people who prefer cool colours. The warm
colours are red , orange and yellow. Where
there are warm colours and a lot
of lights , people usually want to be
active. People think that red , for example ,
is exciting . Sociable people , those who like
to be with others , like red . Scientists
also find that warm colours can
produce a comfortable feeling and that
time seems to pass quickly in a room with
warm colours than with cool colours . So
a warm colour , such as red or orange , is a good choice for a
living room or restaurant.
The cool colours
are green , blue and violet . These colours , unlike
warm colours , are relaxing . Where there are
cool colours , people are usually quiet . People
who like to spend time alone often
prefer blue . Cool colours are better for offices
because it can make people who are working feel
relaxed and calm.
