Color has a physiological impact on our emotions, moods and even our judgments. The right color can influence communication and even increase a product's and campaign’s success. Red is often used in restaurant decorating schemes because it is an appetite stimulant, while blue is one of the least appetizing colors it is one of the most popular in other avenues. 

While many of the responses to colors have to do with certain individual experiences and their culture, the majority of people in Western cultures have a response to specific colors.
