This review is from: The Power Of Color: How It Can Reduce Fatigue, Relieve Monotony, Enhance Sexuality and More (Paperback)

This book discusses the cultural, historical, psychological, physiologicial, etc. connotations associated with colors. However, it seems as though most of this material was developed in the 1950's and has not been updated. (It looks like this book is a reprint of older material.) There are some interesting elements but it is likely that much of the psychological and physiological information does not reflect the current state of knowledge in those fields.

However the book is easy to read and is a good overview on the topic for those who would like to pursue the interest further. I also enjoyed the "old fashioned" illustrations at the head of each chapter.
