Why Do People Prefer Certain Colors Over Others?

Colors can make us feel happy, sad, or even sleepy. Like how red makes you feel excited, like when you see a fire truck, and blue feels peaceful, like the sky at night. People choose colors based on what they feel inside. Sometimes it’s because of things they learned growing up, like wearing green for luck.
