11、s, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings.

12、 as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.
