The influence of color on student emotion, heart rate, and performance in learning environments (2016, background): “This finding supports the notion that color has a strong impact on the physiology of people who stayed in the colored room.(6) In addition, several color studies have indicated that long-wavelength colours such as red and yellow are more arousing than short-wavelength colors such as blue and green.”
Human brain activity and emotional responses to plant color stimuli (2014, background): “who found that strong red colors and patterns put the brain into a more excited state.(37)”
Color psychology: effects of perceiving color on psychological functioning in humans. (2014, background): “…detail-oriented cognitive tasks that require minimal mental manipulation or flexibility (Friedman & Förster 2010), and, accordingly, Mehta & Zhu (2009) offered and found evidence to support the proposal that red facilitates performance on such tasks (e.g., proofreading; cf. Küller et al. 2009).”
