Psychology of Color

We put a lot of thought and research into our color palette for the house and discovered such interesting things about the psychology of color. For example, recent studies show that people are more productive in blue rooms. And because yellow is the hardest color on the eye (reflects the most colors on the sepctrum to your retina), it can incite tension (and oddly, also increase metabolism)? For that reason, people lose their tempers and babies cry more often in yellow rooms. So don't have difficult discussions in a yellow kitchen with your spouse!

More on color psychology (not to be confused with color symbolism) on wikipedia.com.
