idk
im not a biologist
though i do read way too many fucking science journals for my own good and understand about 40% optimistically
Its not just positivity

For many people, a blue pill can cause more of a calming effect for instance
It isn't so linear
yeah colour is also linked to mood alteration
apparently wearing red as a male makes you less attractive to the opposite sex
Placebo/nocebo has limitations, but it is quite powerful
but wearing red as a female makes you more attractive to men
Also a catchall for a lot of unexplained effects
That probably depends on culture I bet.
Interestingly
wearing pink
I mean it depends
as a man
would get a better response than red would
in a double blind study
There are some base association but it seems specific associations are more cultural at least thats what it sounds like
you'd think itd be the opposite conclusion
Red for instance is just a generic high energy salient color
But culturally it can be good or bad or whatever
Its lucky in china. In america its used for stop signs and more negative.
Generally.
I suppose it can also signify danger
and pink is something women are just compulsively attracted to
you can even charge them more for it

Also, pink wasn't always a feminine color
Im aware
Ancient greeks I think?
Right?
Pretty sure.
as my mother kept telling me when i got a designer shirt many a christmas ago
and 14 year old me got annoyed it was fucking pink
Or some culture related to greeks at least
granted the shirt grew on me when i stopped being an insecure beta teen
now Im wondering what the fuck happened to it
was a nice ass shirt
