Colour and you
1
Did you know that different people see colours differently? Some people, called tetrachromats, can see more
colours than most people. Others, called bichromats, see fewer colours. This is important because colours can
‘make you fee! - and behave — differently, too.

I a boy in your class comes to school tomorrow in pink jeans, you'll be surprised. And you probably won't be
having your next lesson in a red classroom. But how we feel about colour depends on who we are and where we
are born. In many cultures, people traditionally dress little girs in pink, and litte boys in blue, So when we grow
up, men and women like or hate these colours. And red walls aren’t popular in Europe because red means
‘danger’. But in China, red means ‘good luck’

‘Artists know that paintings with warm reds and yellows sell better than pictures with cold greens and blues
because warm colours make us feel excited. They may also wake us up, so if you put a big red picture in your
bedroom, you probably won't sleep well! Blue might be a cool colour, but it helps us to relax. And yellow often
‘makes people feel happier. It could also help people to get better more quickly, so hospital walls often have warm,
yellow pictures.

What football shirt will you be wearing to the next match? In a recent documentary, scientists showed that players
Inred football shirts felt more confident, and played better than players in blue shirts. Professional sports people
also gave more points to players in red!

Not all animals can see colour, but people, monkeys and birds can see it well. This may be because people ~ and
these animals ~ eat fruit. Fruit like oranges and bananas are green when they are small, When they change colour,
our eyes tell us they are ready to eat. So next time you eat a tasty orange, think how lucky you are to see the
colour orange!
