21. A) Blue – If you were in a room with the walls painted solid blue or in a lighter shade of blue, you body begins to produce chemicals which calm the nervous system.

22. A) Red – Being in a red room would make someone feel anxious, but rooms with red accents make people lose track of time.  Bars and casinos often use this color to get people to stick around.

23. D) Yellow – Bright yellow is by far the most annoying of all colors.  It hurts the eyes and makes people lose their tempers more easily.  Yellow is nice when used as an accent color in a room painted in a dark blue, green, purple or sometimes even red.

24. A) Pink – Blue, green and brown are relaxing colors, but pink actually “zaps” away your energy.  Staying in a room painted pink will reduce aggressiveness to a halt, because for some strange reason, if you are in a pink room, you just don’t have enough energy to get angry!  However, after the body gets used to the surrounding color, a person can become even more aggressive than before!

25. D) White – White is the lightest of all colors (it’s actually not a color; it’s the absence of color).  It reflects light and keeps cool, which is why summer clothing is made from white fabric.  This color makes you feel cool and refreshed.  It also makes you feel and appear clean.  This is why doctors and nurses wear this color.

26. B) Black – It’s no surprise that people are most likely to become nervous or frightened in a room painted solid black.  The color doesn’t seem to get any brighter during the day and it makes the room seem endless at night.  Grey can also cause this affect.  The color black also stands for “death” in some cultures, and this can have an affect on people as well.

27. A) Orange – Orange is considered the most appetizing color to man.  Blue and yellow are two of the least.  Early man learned to keep away from foods that were blue, purple or black, for they would normally be poisonous.  Dark yellow foods stood out as decayed.

28. A) Green – Green is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision.  Like the color blue, it has a neutral effect on the human nervous system.  Green is a popular color in hospitals because it relaxes patients.

29. A) Purple – Purple is a rare color in nature and it is sometimes considered very artificial looking for some people.  However, others find this color artistic when used for decoration.

30. A) Yes - Colors can make you work harder, the color blue, especially.  It’s easiest to study in a blue room, and it’s easiest to absorb your readings if they’re in blue print.  Working out in a blue room will give you more energy.  This is because blue has a chemical affect on the nervous system, and this helps you clear your mind and focus.  However, make sure the colors are bright and aren’t too dark, because dark colors can cause depression.
