"Now I'm sure we're all familiar with the phrase never judge a book by its cover. Right? There's just one problem with that. It is fundamentally opposed to our programming as human beings. We are designed to make snap judgements based on immediate appearances. It is essentially a leftover survival instinct. If something looks dangerous, it's best to avoid it for our own survival. And one of the first factors that we're going to process is colour. Colour psychology is the study of how colours affect human mood and behavior. For instance, studies have shown that white coloured pills are associated with greater pain relief, and red pills are associated with stronger stimulant properties. Other studies have shown that the colour red can prompt people to react with greater speed and force. Something as simple as colour can even affect your performance on a test. When college students were given one of three coloured numbers, red, green or black, and then asked to take a simple test, those with the red numbers scored more than 20% lower than those presented with either the green or black numbers. That is a huge difference, all from witnessing a different colour prior to taking the test on the complete other end of the spectrum. Colours like blue have shown themselves to have a calming effect on people. Some studies have even shown that looking at the colour blue literally release endorphins that help you physically calm down. All of these very real effects happening simply by looking at different colours. So given that science has proven time and again that we both have physical and mental reactions to colour, how can we use this knowledge to our advantage in a game like Among Us?" - MatPat
