I found this great article in the Yahoo archives today about how people associate different feelings and concepts with different colors. I had always associated green with envy, purple with majesty, and red with anger, but I never delved any deeper than that. I knew that flowers all have different meanings and importance (like Ophelia's flowers in Hamlet). This article discusses how yellow can make people more energetic and white can give people who work in offices headaches.
I've always been excited to have my own home so I could paint the rooms different colors. I can't right now because I'm renting, but some day I will. I think I would paint the bedroom some shade of green (to match the olive green sheets I just bought). The living room would be yellow (I think that would match our 70's orange furniture). I may have to take this article into account when I have the chance to paint; it could be helpful.
