Colour only affects the moods of defective pansy potter humans, so not being one of those I couldn't say and I just don't understand how any colours could affect anybody's mood. My mood never actually changes very much, except from good to very good and vice versa.

I don't think so.  While I have my favorite colors, they don't dictate my mood.  I only enjoy them because God created them to be enjoyed.

If this is you science project you need to run the experiment to see if mood is affected by room color. You hypothesis would be along these lines; if the color of the room is varied a varied emotional response will be observed/self reported.

 

Support or falsify this hypothesis.

" Reality is that which exists outside of your beliefs. "

Your experiment must be in a controlled environment and eliminate as many variables as possible, including anticipation of your test subjects.  More importantly, there must be a "control" where all things remain as they were.

This will be a difficult experiment to quantify since you must eliminate such variables as decorating taste and it must be of such a duration  that your results will be definitive.

Next, you must formulate your hypothesis based on known science and make your predictions. 

Next, after all your results have been tabulated, we will falsify your conclusions to see if the result is truly valid.  Even if found valid, later review may determine that your falsified conclusion was unsound, meaning it has been eliminated because of technical flaws in the devising of your experiment.

  1. Develop a baseline of activity for your test subjects according to color of the room as it exists.  What was the average age of persons in the cafeteria?  How many people twitch as they sit down to eat?  What music (if any) was playing?  What was the temperature and aroma of the cafeteria?  What foods sold the best, indicating mood of those in the cafeteria?  Owing to seasonal variations, and other possibly unpredictable factors, your control study would require at least a year to complete.
  2. Change one variable, say the color of paintings on the walls.  They should be the same subject matter but change only the color.  What is the twitch rate?  What caused the twitching?  Is it a significant result?  That will take another year.
  3. Return the old paintings to the walls but re-paint the walls to another color.  What is the twitch rate?  What foods did your subjects select, etc?
  4. Compile your data.  You may well find that there was no significant change, which will be an important result: that color is not a significant factor in decorating, as long as it isn't just plain disgusting.
I changed my buddy icon because Physicalist pirated my screen name. Atheists have a way of being obnoxious, but that is because they lack a case. My new buddy icon is the planet Uranus. It will stay so until Physicalist learns his place -- under the front porch.

Colors can affect emotions, but not everyone reacts in the same way.  Red and blue in this part of California are gang colors, so a Norteno and a Sureno would have opposite reactions.  Teams also have colors, so a Raider fan might be happy with black and a 49er fan happy with red.  A Sharks fan seeing teal might register disappointment that they keep losing.

I don't know what you mean by white making you feel clarity.  White can be a symbol of peace, or a symbol of surrender, or a color of death in some cultures.

NO, but running out of dope does.
