Found this great little article as inspiration from the M&M thread in Just Conversation found here:
M&M Color Thread

quote:
Does the sight of a lemon create a sour taste in your mouth? Does a room with red walls make you feel warm? Does a certain shade of yellowish-green (pea-soup) remind you of nausea? If you've ever had any of these sensations, you've experienced a mild form of synesthesia (also spelled synaesthesia).


Full Article on color/taste and senses can be found here:

Is there a gender difference in response to color? Although findings are ambiguous, many investigations have indicated that there are differences between gender in preferences for colors.

Interesting bit from this article, though so many people break the rules without major consequences thesedays it makes one wonder. The cool thing is that we are able to learn, then experiment > and perhaps create *new* psychological history! Who knows!

quote:
Web site designers should treat the symbolism of color as seriously as the design of graphics and layout. At the very least, the timeless associations of color should be considered. For example, red is the color of fire and blood. Not by any stretch of the imagination could it be associated with serenity or dependability.
