What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader. an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preferences. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

Colours do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand ,black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray.

  If you do not know what to wear to attend a Chinese celebration, something red is always the right choice on such occasions.The red color is always associated with "happiness and good fortune".The Chinese people enjoy decorating their houses with something red.The bride wears a traditional Chinese wedding dress in red on her wedding day(though probably influenced by the western customs she would wear white wedding dress at the beginning of the celebration).Unlike the implication of red to anger, danger and the unreasonable outburst of emotions in the West, such as the expressions like:be a red rag to a bull; to see red; to see the red light; to paint the town red; red in tooth and claw etc.the red always carries positive meanings in China.

  The next color used to be very special is yellow, which is similar to the color of earth and soil since earth and soil were very important to people.Yellow used to be the fashionable color used by the Emperors in China.

  Another favorite color is green, which represents life and energy, while black and white are associated with death.Don't wear a black dress to attend the wedding or a birthday party.Wearing white headdress(头饰)indicates that someone in your home recently dies.

  Probably black is also associated with darkness.The Chinese like to refer to things illegally done "black", for example, "black money" and "black market".And "black heart" refers to someone really bad.
