[02:34.93]The Effects of Colour

[02:36.84]Researchers have found that"cool"colours,such as blues 7 and greens,can make us feel calm and relaxed.

[02:43.79]Blue and green surroundings can also lower blood pressure,pulse rate,and breathing rate.

[02:49.67]"Warm"colours,such as reds,yellows,and oranges,affect us differently than"cool" colours do.

[02:56.56]"Warm"colours can actually make us feel warmer and excited.

[03:00.79]They stimulate 8 hearbeat,raise blood pressure,and quicken breathing.

[03:05.73]Colour can affect our moods.Yellow,a bright,sunny colour,often makes people feel happy and more active.

[03:13.75]Yet it makes some people feel hot and restless.

[03:17.04]Red often makes people feel energetic.

[03:20.07]But not everyone feels good wearing red.

[03:22.76]If some colour can make us feel better,might certain colour also help us think better?

[03:28.12]According to a three-year study in Germany,the answer seems to be yes.

[03:32.87]Scientists studied how various colors affect school children.

[03:37.13]And they found that certain colours could raise I.Q.

[03:40.40]In the experiment,rooms with low ceilings were painted in different colours.

[03:45.85]The more popular colours were light blue,yellow,yellow-green,and orange.

[03:51.34]Less popular colours such as white,black,and brown caused a drop in I.Q.

[03:57.35]The study found that the colour orange in particular improved social behavior,cheered up children's spirts and made them less hostile and irritable 9.

[04:07.59]Scientists also think that colours can tell us something about people's personalities 10.

[04:13.07]People who are more out-going usually prefer"warm" colours.

[04:16.84]People who are quieter,often prefer"cool" colours.
