There are studies about how certain colors affect people physically. A few examples are: Pink calms you down, it makes you relax and can cause less fights, which is why prison walls are usually painted in a dark pink color.
Gray stimulates the side of your brain that is artistic, for example most painters prefer Grey canvas because it helps them get done faster.
Yellow is a very...well, loud color and can make you uneasy, this is why it can cause baby's discomfort.
Things like this can help us make decisions about how we spend our day, or how we feel getting up in the morning.
