[00:-1.00]THE MANY MEANINGS OF COLOUR
[00:-2.00]The study of colour is a fascinating mixture of scientific fact
[00:-3.00]and emotional guesswork.
[00:-4.00]Colour is basic to all of us,and affects our lives in many ways.
[00:-5.00]Swiss psychologist Max Luscher has spent over 20 years studying colours,
[00:-6.00]and has developed a colour test which helps to explain your personality.
[00:-7.00]You must choose which colours you like most.
[00:-8.00]According to Luscher,
[00:-9.00]people who choose red are energetic and adventurous,looking for excitement.
[00:10.00]Those who prefer blue are calm and in control,and prefer a peaceful life.
[00:11.00]Green means firmness,a dislike of change and a fear of failure.
[00:12.00]Yellow means you are open and free, ambitious 1 and an optimist 2.
[00:13.00]It is interesting to look back in history,
[00:14.00]and to try to guess what colours meant to the first humans.
[00:15.00]Blue and green are common and familiar colours.
[00:16.00]They have 'safe'meanings for us.
[00:17.00]Blue makes us think of the sky and the sea.
[00:18.00]Green is the colour of growing plants.
[00:19.00]But red is rare in nature.
[00:20.00]It is the colour of blood and meat,of hunting or of injuries.
[00:21.00]It is also the colour of fire.
[00:22.00]The darkest nights are black,a colour often associated with fear.
[00:23.00]It is possible to measure responses to some colours scientifically.
[00:24.00]When we see a red light,for example,
[00:25.00]we become more tense and our heart rate increases.
[00:26.00]Blue,on the other hand,makes our heart rate decrease,
[00:27.00]and lets us feel more relaxed.
[00:28.00]In our daily life, colours are big business.
[00:29.00]Next time you are in a supermarket,
[00:30.00]think about the colours around you and on the products.
[00:31.00]Food manufacturers choose the colours very carefully.
[00:32.00]The right colours persuade us to buy more food.
[00:33.00]Red,green,orange and yellow are regarded as the main'appetite'colours.
[00:34.00]To select the right colours is also important for businesses.
[00:35.00]Fast-food restaurants often use red,for two reasons.
[00:36.00]Not only does it stimulate 3 the appetite,
[00:37.00]but it also makes us feel active and not relaxed,
[00:38.00]so that after we have eaten,we want to get up quickly and leave,
[00:39.00]thus making space for more customers.
[00:40.00]Banks like to use more serious,restful colours such as blue,brown and green.
[00:41.00]These persuade us to think of the bank as a safe and reliable place.
[00:42.00]Yellow makes us think of sunshine and holidays,
[00:43.00]and so it is often used by travel agents.
[00:44.00]In politics, colours are also very important.
[00:45.00]Over 80% of countries have red the colour of action in their national flags.
[00:46.00]Blue is associated with conservative 4 parties.
[00:47.00]Light blue is also the colour of the United Nations and symbolizes 5 peace.
[00:48.00]Green has become the colour of environmental parties.
[00:49.00]Different cultures do not always agree on their colour associations.
[00:50.00]To see a black cat is lucky in some countries but unlucky in others.
[00:51.00]Western brides choose to wear white on their wedding days,
[00:52.00]but Chinese brides prefer to wear red.
[00:53.00]Westerners wear black to a funeral;Chinese mourners wear white clothes.
[00:54.00]Colour is a powerful tool.
[00:55.00]It can be used to help us,to warn us,to relax us,
[00:56.00]to control us and to make us buy things.
