- Blue: Shorter wavelength (approximately 450-495 nm). Appears cooler due to its shorter wavelength.
2. Physiological Effects:
- Red: Tends to stimulate and activate. Can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. Associated with alertness and energy.
- Blue: Generally calming and relaxing. Can lower heart rate and blood pressure. Associated with tranquility and serenity.

- Red: Passion, love, anger, danger, excitement, importance. Often used to draw attention or signify urgency. Can evoke feelings of intensity and aggression.
- Blue: Trust, stability, loyalty, peace, sadness (historically linked to melancholy). Frequently associated with professionalism, authority, and calmness.
