A World of Color
1 Colors play an important role in our world today. Studies show thatcertain colors have an effect on our mood, feelings, and behavior.
Colors affect everything from how we feel and act to what we wear,
how we decorate, and how we advertise.
2 It is important to understand why certain colors are used to promote

products or create a specific kind of environment at home or at theoffice. Colors can send a positive or negative message or simply
make people more cautious.
3 The color blue is perfect for individuals who want peace and quiet.

Blue represents water, the source of life. For this reason, blue isthought to have a relaxing effect on the mind and body. The color blue
helps us sleep, so it is often a popular choice for bedrooms. Blue also
implies trust and loyalty. Perhaps this is why businesspeople andpolice officers in many countries wear blue. On the other hand, blue
can also be cold and uncaring. Too much blue can make us feel sad.

4 Have you ever thought about why doctors and nurses wear white?

White is a common color in hospitals and medical facilities because
it promotes cleanliness. White is also used in advertisements for
medical products, low-fat food, and dairy products for the same

color has traditionally been used in literature to represent natureand life. In the last 20 years, we have seen a number of people gogreen in an effort to do their part in protecting the environment.
