D
What's your favourite colour? How much do you know about it? The World's Favourite Colour Project(WFCP) interviewed 26,596 people from over 100 different countries to get some information about people's favourite colours. It found that most people's favourite colour appears to be green or blue. The reason behind this may be that they are connected with the environment we live in and enjoy, such as the clear sky, clean water and beautiful forests.
What is more, the World's Favourite Colour Project asked people to list things and feelings that they connect with colours. It also hoped to find out what different colours mean to different people, and what may influence this. Many scientists have studied the relationship between colours and feelings. “For one thing, we have found the brighter the colour is, the more it is connected with happiness and excitement,” said Professor Anna Franklin, an expert in colour psychology(色彩心理学) at the University of Sussex. “For another, people are more likely to feel relaxed and comfortable when seeing a light colour.”
More often than not, colours have the same meanings for people around the world: Yellow brings happiness; red means love; orange shows energy(能量). ______ For example, while white means peace and luck in some cultures, it is connected with unlucky meanings in some other cultures.
