I attended two lectures that I didn't quite understand about colour theory, unlike my past studies in colour theory we weren't really educated on the emotion/mental connection between us and colour...
Colour is a visual illusion brought on by light waves, theses light waves flood into our eyes and translate to colour based on the power of that wave length. We base this knowledge on what we can see as humans, however different species cannot see a large range of colour like we can; For example it is believed that dogs see in black and white, because theses animals can also see in the dark. Colours can also effect us, sometimes physically and sometimes mentally. Some colours paired together or used in a certain way can produce an obstacle illusion or visual illusions a few moments after the image has disappeared. Colour can also effect emotion and how someone feels, soft colours of golds and greens, sometimes blue can calm and sooth a person. But red, orange can encourage someone into action or aggression. Certain colour patterns can also be related to presenting certain things, such as red is seen as some what violent and pink is often associated with being feminine. We also lightly dusted over what colours work 'well' together.
