It deals, furthermore, with the interpretation of the connotations and meanings of colors, according to their importance with reference to their effect upon man’s choices, emotions, and behavior. The effect varies among the different groups of the study sample in relation to the preferred colors in each category, so the difference was clear between the elderly and the young, and between males and females, and between the high or simple cultural level.
