The natural world is colourful with humans, plants and animals
showing different colours. Human skin can be many different colours and it
changes with the sun, our feelings, or our health. This is because of
pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as
colours. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart sends more blood to
the face and the pigments in the skin become red.
一
二
三
四
Plants also have pigments. Colours play an important role in their life.
The bright colours of flowers catch the attention of insects. Then the insects
carry the pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colours
we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees
visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
一
二
三
四
Animals also use colours for their own need. They protect themselves
with different colours in order not to be seen by predators(捕食者). The
snowshoe hare, for example, a type of wild rabbit, changes colours with
seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown colour, and in winter it
is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use the
colour as a warning to frighten predators away. Bright colours such as yellow
and red are often used in this way.
一

四
So, we can see that there may be many different reasons for colours
and uses of colours in the natural world. Some uses of colours in nature
remain unknown, but one thing is for sure—colours not only make our
planet beautiful, but they are also necessary for our planet to live on.

A study has found that colours may be generally related to(有关联
的) certain emotions(情绪).
The researchers in Dr Daniel Oberfeld’s team wrote, “Red is related
to both good and bad emotions while black is clearly related to bad emotions.
In the recent study, red was often related to love and anger, while black
was related to sadness, hate and fear among other bad emotions.” Other
colours which had strong relations across countries were pink with love,
grey with sadness and orange with joy or pleasure.

Some other colours, however, had smaller but more interesting
relations. For example, people in Greece were far more likely to connect
purple with sadness than those in other countries. While people in the UK and
Germany strongly connected yellow with joy, Greek and Chinese people
did not feel the same link.

五
Almost all the colours, even if they didn’t have a close link with one
emotion, were either good or bad—except for red, which was related to
both anger and love, and purple and brown, which were neither. Good
colours were yellow, white, turquoise(青绿色), pink, orange and
green. Bad were grey and black.
Dr Oberfeld’s team added, “Red, black and pink have strong
colour-emotion relations, and brown and purple have weak relations. Across
the 240 colour-emotion pairs, the strongest relations were found between
the emotion love and the colour term red.”

Dear Simon,
I know you are a Grade 9 student and that you have some problems now. As
your close friend, I want to give you some advice.
Firstly, if you always feel stressed, I advise you to wear blue or
white. The two colours can make you feel calm and peaceful. You can
also try wearing green, because it can make you feel energetic.
Secondly, you may paint your bedroom blue if you can’t sleep well at
night. Sleeping in a blue room is good for your mind and body, because
blue can create a feeling of harmony.

If these still do not work, please make a phone call to me.

Finally, perhaps you should use yellow stationery when you study for
exams, because yellow is the colour of wisdom.

were written in red ink. The records of criminals’ names were all written in

Umbrellas have not changed much in styles during all this time,
though they have become much lighter in weight. 5.

Wearing bright colours may brighten your day!
Dopamine(多巴胺) dressing has been popular among young people.
People choose colourful clothes so that they can get more dopamine and feel
happier. But is there really any science behind this?
Dopamine is a chemical(化学物质) in our brain. It can influence our
feelings. According to Science Focus, although there is no study about how
colourful clothes can increase(提高) dopamine, there are studies that
showed a relationship between the clothes we wear and how we act and feel.

One study showed that wearing red can lead to better sports
performances. They found that in soccer matches over the last 55 years,
teams with red sports clothes always played better in games than any other
colour. Another study showed that wearing green can make people become
more creative. Green has also been found to help people relax, as it reminds
us of nature. Yellow, and its suggestion of summer and warmth, can bring
people happiness and excitement.
As people from different cultures have different ideas about colours,
scientists will study further to find out how colours work!
