Why Do We Like Certain Colors More Than Others?

We like certain colors more than others because they make us feel different things.

Your eyes see light, and each color has its own special kind of light. When you look at a red balloon, it makes your heart go boing boing, that's excitement!

But if you're tired and you look at a blue sky, it helps you relax. That’s because blue is like a soft blanket for the brain.

Sometimes colors even help us remember things, like how green means go on a traffic light.
