The Power of Color

Before picking colors for your house try looking at colors in a new light!  Every color represents something and triggers certain sensations!

The color red...

 stimulates energy and encourages confidence

the chinese culture believes the color red is good luck

 

The color orange...

 gets your blood flowing and stimulates mental activity

and Native Americans think of orange as kinship, or connection

The color yellow...

is a happy color!  It increases optimism and stimulates muscle energy and memory!

According to the book Surya, "Hindus wear yellow to celebrate the Festival of Spring."

This information is referenced from Surya catalog.

I think the green mnmveeot is brilliant. It was actually an idea brought about by a design student in 2008. He decided it would be a terrific way to unite the country as it is a very accessible color. A new trend is painting your hand green and then going around to various walls, and leaving a green handprint to mark your vote, in a sense. Very cool idea, good to see it being put to use, even with American supporters on Twitter. Great article too!

I've played Portal. Never beat it, which I feel stuipd about now, as apparently the ending changes people's lives with rainbow power. But you're missing the point of the question, RainRat. Forget Portal for a moment and assume the portals in our question really do stick to surfaces like that. What happens then?
