Switch to a a Mellow Yellow

Try not to use very large areas of red in web pages, apps, software, buildings, offices or automobiles, we should avoid pure RED. use orange, pink or purple instead.

RED stands for Hyper Activity, War, Mars planet and metal iron, it is very powerful and should be used in small areas like hyperlinks or buttons. It is not in harmony with nature, when you have large areas of RED.

RED in more area causes agitation and short temper. use sober light colors for background, and dark colors for fonts or maintain contrast.

(I could not find on web, but an old koontz (Harold Koontz) management book cites an example of how IBM PC marketing showrooms in US a long time ago, had problems when the interiors were bright red, customers were uncomfortable ?, later when they swapped it to a shade of blue....then sales picked up rapidly......from memory...possible errors.)

I will conclude, Switch to a Mellow Yellow - It stands for growth, it will also need washing more often.
