Color and the sun

Our bodies and brains like to associate colors with the patterns of the sun.



We get excited by red, yellow, and orange because it reminds us of the sun. Back in the days before electricity, we used to wake up with the sun, so we are used to the bright, warm colors making us excited.




The same way we used to wake up with the sun, we went to sleep with the moon. This is the reason why blue, green and purple make us relax and feel tired.
