Were Apple trying to attract everyone? Well it worked!

The below is a result of numerous research carried out by experts:

White
White reflects light, cleanliness, innocence and purity. It goes with pretty much anything and is a strong neutral colour.

Black
Black commands authority and power. It also makes people appear thinner believe it or not. Black is also a colour of submission (e.g. a priest wears black in submission to God).

Blue
Blue reflects peace as it’s the opposite of red. It actually causes the body to release calming chemicals. But beware, the wrong shade of blue can be depressing and cold. Blue also reflects loyalty, and studies have shown that people are actually more productive in blue rooms!

Green
A truly calming colour, have you ever noticed the green walls in hospitals, painted that ay to keep patients calm. Green also resembles fertility in a woman and darker greens reflect wealth and masculinity.  However it’s apparently not the luckiest colour to wear.

Red
A truly intense colour that actually stimulates a faster heart beat. Red makes the wearer appear heavier and it’s no good for negotiations or confrontations I’m afraid. But you will get attention in RED.

Brown
A truly earthy colour and one that implies genuineness. Brown is one of a man’s favorite colors for some reason.

Yellow
If you want to grab attention and be recognised as an optimist and go-getter then you can’ go wrong with yellow. Yellow suits darker skin tones. Research shows however that people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It’s a difficult colour for the eye to take in so use it in small doses. Yellow speeds metabolism!

Purple
Purple presents luxury, wealth and sophistication… as well as SEX! It represents the genitalia of a man and woman and therefore spurs on sexual thoughts. It actually makes you feel more sexual wearing it!
