Summary/Abstract: Colour results from the reflexion of EM energy waves specific to light which are projected onto an object. When light falls on any coloured object, it will only absorb those wavelengths that match its atomic structure. All the other wavelengths will be reflected, thus providing the object with the colour that we perceive. The retina converts the waves into electric impulses which travel to the brain, where they are decoded, analysed and synthesized. This article aims at reviewing the major studies focusing on the significance of colour with respect to human personality, as well as on the meanings associated to colours and their effect on the human brain.
