Abstract
The physical strength and mood of creative production were measured for six preschool children under six coloured room conditions in an ABACAB design. Physical strength and high positive mood were demonstrated in a pink-coloured room while the reverse was found in a blue-coloured room. The results were interpreted as supporting the differential arousal function of colours.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
