Colour effect on physiology in a stimulating environment

Colour is an environmental stimulus that exerts an inflence on human beings in a multitude of ways. The effect of colours has been abundantly and unequivocally demonstrated in previous research on the integration of multimodal approaches such as the psychological, performance and non-performance and...
