How color influences individuals may differ depending on age, gender, and culture. Colors have qualities that can cause certain emotions in people. Color influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. The diagram matches twelve colors to human occupations or their character traits, grouped in the four temperaments: * choleric (red/orange/yellow): tyrants, heroes, adventurers * sanguine (yellow/green/cyan) hedonists, lovers, poets * phlegmatic (cyan/blue/violet): public speakers, historians * melancholic (violet/magenta/red): philosophers, pedants, rulersĬolor psychology is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior.
The 'rose of temperaments' ( Temperamenten-Rose) compiled by Goethe and Schiller in 1798/9.
