Although the enjoyment of color is universal and color theory has all kinds of names to it, color remains a very emotional and subjective element. Our awareness of color is (47) conditioned by our Culture, but color also probably (48) our instincts. Our psyche (心智) reacts in different ways to colors in part through subjective (49) and in part through cultural conditioning, and the two are often hard to separate. Black and white, for example, (50) us intuitively (直觉) of night and day, darkness and light; their link with evil and good is likely the result of culture.
There exists a (51) tendency to feel that some colors are warm whereas other colors are cool. Colors that are near red on the color wheel (色轮) are (52) warm colors—which seem more (53) ; And colors near blue are regarded as cool colors, which seem more (54) . Scientists have demonstrated that exposure to red light increases the heartbeat and that exposure to blue light slows it down. For artists the (55) of warm and cool depends on the contrasting relationship between any two colors. A violet might be cooler than an orange, because it has blue in it, and the same violet might be warmer than green, because it has red in it. The warm-cool (56) helps to create exciting color contrasts because warm colors seem warmer next to cool colors and cool colors seem cooler next to warm colors.
