Over the past couple of days, i seem to have noticed that sometimes, people like green better than red. I have been thinking about it and felt that it should be brought to discussion as to why green seems to be better.

I know it sounds rather strange, but when you think about it, the reasons are pretty interesting

Looking forward to your thoughts!!!!!

Not if they are color blind.

Lüscher color test would argue introverts like green, extraverts prefer a more arousing colour like red.

Trichromatic colour vision is of course a primate adaptation - the extra cone being possibly due to a shift to day-time foraging and the need to find ripe reddish fruit among greenish foliage. So there you would have thought red might be the preferred colour - maybe the reason it is arousing.

But really, look up Lüscher. The personality approach is fun.

This is not philosophy.
