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

which is strange considering pink is considered a feminine colour and red is masculine

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

probably outgrew and forgot

I bet being able to own the color pink can communicate positive traits.

you're bringing so many repressed memories back

thanks doc!
