Certain colors correspond to various
human emotions, and are known,

that go with the highest intellectual
development, and a brilliant intellect
has its color counterpart in a vivid
golden hue; orange and brown are al
ways associated with misery and

Red is the color par excellence Of
passion; when deep or dull it is sym
