Question

                                                                                      A

            What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue?

Then you are probably quiet, shy, and would rather follow than lead.

            Colors do influence our moods. 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. There was a black bridge over the River

Thames near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than that on any other bridge in the area —until it was repainted green.

                Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.
