Colors also have some other effects when used
in different ways. For instance, eating on a pink table cloth makes you
eat more. Here ares some examples of practical uses of color.
- Seeing something red will get you motivated.
- A blue lightbulb in your refrigerator
will make you eat less.
- Yellow alerts your visual system, so
writing on yellow paper will make you remember it more (which is why
sticky notes are commonly yellow).
- Purple makes you more creative, so writing
with a purple pen will really help you get your creative juices flowing!
Different colors have different effects,
but to really understand visual art you need to look at what your visual
brain does not understand, optical illusions.
