Answer 2

I'm 13 and I happen to know a lot about this.

Okay, here are what the colors emotionally stand for.

Orange - energy, spirit, hope, courage, and cordiality. (only to be used in small quanities)

Red - war, vigor, power, movement, aggression, boldness, and force.

Purple - mystery, dignity, reflection, mourning, philosophical musing, and twilight.

Blue - distance, spaciousness, loftiness, dignity, calmness, serenity, reserve, formality, restraint, lack of sympathy, and coldness.

Green - cheerful yet calming, cool, refreshing, and pleseant.

White - cool cleanliness

Gray - dominance of gray in a home too often indicates a lack of imagination on the part of the owner.

When you walk into a smoothie place, you often see green and orange. Green is the color of grass, and makes you feel cool and refreshing, while mixed with orange, which means energy and spirit, triggers a nice cool breezy feeling, which makes you want a smoothie, doesn't it?

Thanks, I hope that helped!
