W: Different colours represent different meanings. For example, red and orange are warm colours. Red is the colour of fire, heat, and blood. People say it is an exciting colour.

Green is the cool colour of grass in spring. People say it can make their eyes feel comfortable after they watch the screen for a long time.

M: Studies show that colours can influence people's feelings. It's very interesting. Some colours can make people feel relaxed, and some colours can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel energetic. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only know how to make food, but also know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from the study. The colour red makes people hungry. Many restaurants have red lights or walls. Soft colours like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.
