Part IV. Read the passage below and circle the best answer for the questions below
The Effect of Colors
We have all heard expressions like seeing red or feeling blue. These expressions
describe human emotions by using a color. But does color actually have an effect on our
emotions?
Color perception1 is controlled by the human brain—not by the eye. The eyes see a
color and then signals are sent to the brain. Our brains then tell us how we feel
emotionally about each color.
In general, certain colors create a certain type of emotional response, or feeling.
Strangely, a color such as green, which in nature might create a feeling of relaxation
and peace, can have the opposite effect when used to talk about things like a person's

face or an egg. Our cultural background, expectations, and past experiences can all
change our perception of color.
People who work in marketing use these emotional responses to color when they
plan a new advertising campaign, or design a package for a new product. Marketers are
very careful to use colors that consumers feel good about to sell their product.
For example, the color red usually causes a strong emotional response in a
consumer. Marketers often use red in their designs to cause people to make quick
decisions. That is why you often see the buttons 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' in red on
Internet banners and websites.
Blue, on the other hand, carries with it a feeling of cleanliness2 and trust. That is
why we often see the color blue used in advertising for services related to cleanliness,
such as water filters3 and cleaning liquids, or products such as high-tech items that
should create a feeling of dependability.
The next time you walk through your local supermarket, pay attention. Can you see
how the use of color on the various products might affect your decision to buy them or
not? That is your emotional response to color in action.
