Our association and upbringing is one factor affecting our experience with colors. From early on in life, we were exposed to colors, making it known that colors are something beautiful. That without it, things are dull or dead-looking. Color still. We can relate things, events and even persons to colors.As everyone may know, yellow, orange and red are often associated with heat, thus sun and fire. It seem inappropriate representing heat in different colors other than that. Somehow it lacks something we cannot point our fingers on. These same colors are considered high stimulating colors. Red has been known to arouse senses and increase blood pressure. This is seen as an example in a casino. According to studies, people tend to gamble more and raise their bets when seated under a red light. Blue, green and violet, on other hand, signify coolness, color of leaves, ocean and sky. Although most artists add their own touches by blending in other colors, these former were original and most distinguishable ones. These are opposites of red, yellow and orange; they are low arousal colors. These colors are often associated with peace and tranquility and appears exciting to eyes.
