The colors red and yellow are
recognized by psychologists as hav-
ing unusually exciting effects on
the mind and nervous system OF civ.
ilized man. Precisely the opposite
is true Of the color blue,
Instead OF exciting his mind, blue
tends to tranquilize it. When a
deep shade, approaching violet in
hue, it may act on the mind as a
positive depressant.
This is borne out by numerous
observations made by scientific in
vestigators. both in this country
and elsewhere. At the University
ot Illinois. for example. Prof. y. A.
Wells for six years studied the ef-
fccts OF various colors on his pupils,
