Why do some people like or hate certain colours

[Chad]

I like purple or violet as a colour. Some people hate it or they hate yellow or green. Can anyone tell me why this is. Also I have found that as I have got older my choice as a favourite colour has changed. I used to hate yellow but now I dont mind it.

Any answers would be great...thanks

:D

I have been ill lately, and I have been advised to look at the green colours of the leaves and grass for serenity. I am now into gardening. My office has lots of plants, I have to becareful that it doesnt turn into a jungle :D

I also stopped wearing clothes that are red in colours. I really like red but i realised that i get moody easier in red.

Why is it colours affect us so much?

certain colours evoke particular emotions, like red can mean anger, danger, or green calm, a lot of hospitals are painted green, its a netural colour so is calming. red is a warm colour, u should find this on a good colour wheel.
maybe its got something to do with the wavelengths of the different colours, maybe its just, as with taste or smell we all like different things and colour is included. i dont know really but i hope this is of some help
