In some countries, blue is a symbol of protection. Greek people often wear blue necklaces in order to protect themselves.

Choosing colors also has something to with their bodies’ reaction toward them. Green is said to be the most relaxing color. It can help people feel relaxed. Red can make a person’s blood pressure (血压) go up and improve people’s appetites (胃口). Many restaurant owners will decorate(装饰)their restaurants with red things.
