They tell us that we don"t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
