 Thesis
• Even though everyone is different, certain
colors can instantly change a person’s
mood.
 Main Idea

Our culture and personal experience’s with

certain colors.
For Example…

• Red making your

heart race since it’s
linked with fire
trucks and
ambulances (in
other words, alarm)
 Or….

• Yellow having
positive association
simply because it
was the color of
the sun.
 Main Idea
Scientist’s hypothesized that the
wavelengths of color interact with people's
hormonal systems to change their moods.
 In Other Words..
When we look at
certain colors, the
colors will bring you a
certain emotion from
your past
experiences.
 Conclusion
• Everyone is different and we live through
different beliefs. We all had different
situations with certain colors. And since we
also have different personalities we find
other colors pleasing to the eyes.

• So even though we don’t know exactly how

colors affect our mood we do know that
colors do somehow blend into to our lives.
 Colors are everywhere we look and
we react to them differently.
