You may wonder whether it is true. In fact, colours can change our moods and make us feel happy or sad, energetic or sleepy. This article explains what colours can do and what characteristics they represent. Calm colours Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed? It could be because the walls were painted blue. Blue is a calm colour. It brings peace to our mind and body. Blue can also represent sadness, so you may say “Im feeling blue” when you are feeling sad. White is another calm colour. It is also the colour of purity. Many women like to wear white on their weeding day. Warm coloursSome colours, such as orange and yellow, can make you feel warm. People in cold areas prefer warm colours in their homes to create a warm and comfortable feeling. Orange represents joy. It can cheer you up when you are feeling sad. Yellow is the colour of the sun, so it can remind you of a warm sunny day. Yellow is also the colour of wisdom. Some people prefer this colour when they hope for success. Energetic coloursWhen you feel tired or weak, you should wear energetic colours like green. Green can give you energy, as it is the colour of nature and represents new life. However, it is also the colour of envy, so we may say someone is “green with envy.”Strong coloursIf you require strength in either body or mind, red may be of some help to you. Red is the colour of heat. It represents power and strong feelings. Wearing red can also make it easier to take action. This may help when you are having difficulty making a decision. 题一：Fill in the blanks.Did you know that colours can i_ our moods? Did you know what the different colours r_?

Why the difference? Scientists now think this started many years ago. When most men worked in the fields, the weather was very important to them. If the sky was blue, it meant good weather. So when the men thought of blue, they were very happy. In the past, womens main job was to look for food for their family. They liked pink and red because these were the colours of healthy food, such as strawberries and apples.People were also influenced by old stories. The colour blue was once believed to have the power to drive evil spirits away, so people dressed baby boys in blue in the hope that boys would be protected. Baby girls were in pink because, according to a European story, girls were born inside pink roses.1. What did it mean if the sky was blue?
