The topic of color perception should be interesting for all dealing with the visual representation of ideas, UI/UX and graphic designers in particular. We suggest having a look at these fairly good infographics. Of course, some things are that straightforward as if Captain Obvious has written them.

Red

Red, yellow and orange are examples of warm colors that we associate with the heat of the Sun and fire and, according to Pantone, these colors evoke strong emotions and excite. Red can make one take a risk, sharpen the feelings and raise blood pressure. It can cause a burst of power, energy, passion, love, aggression or danger.
