People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people(喜欢社交的人) like red. The cool colors are green,blue and pink. These colors, unlike Warm colors, are relaxing. When there are cool colors,people are usually quiet. If people like to spend time alone,they often prefer blue.Scientists do not know why people think some colors arewarm and other colors are cool.
