it depends on which context you put the colours, what you want to express. If its a romantic scene then red would trigger strong romantic feeling. Pink in general is soft and comfortable, and desirable feeling. Blue has in general has a noble feeling. White would generate a feeling to be happy, peaceful, and pure. The feeling black generate depends on the context. A combination of contrasting colours, such as balck and white, would be more appealing to an artwork. In a casual setting Black may not look elegent. A casual evening scenery depiction using light colours such as orange yellow and purple would generate a relaxed feeling among most people. Generally deep colours such as red, green, Black and white generate more serious and elegent feeling.

Strongly agree that colours give mood. They emit some type of feelings as you came by the colours. The colours you used like black red and purple are some type eartly colours...they give you the feeling that you are bounded to earth. Noticing too that red is the colour of rage and black is sadness while purple is death. On the other hand yellow blue pink orange are the colours that makes you free. White is purity. So it depends on the painting you are doing to merge these colours together to give a wonderful meaning.

Emotional response to color, odor, sound, etc. is the product of event experience. Each of us have differing experiences in life. We associate stimuli with events we have experienced, positive and negative. Green, for instance, may represent something to one person and something totally different than to another. So, its difficult to determine what type of response a certain color will evoke. Certain colors, as you probably already know, are generally considered warm and some cool by a broad cross section of people. However, individually it differs.
