Colour has an affect on us due to the auric field which encapsulates us. The phyiscal body has a high percentage of water, light coming through this body has the effect similar to a rainbow and reflects colour into the aura. Taking the mind body and spirit theory into consideration, the colours in the aura have an affect on the mind

By design, we are a sensory species, and by evolutionary progress we USE, all of them,,,even subconciously.
Color as a visual sensory stimuli, offers us keys to passivity, aggression, mild, wil, static or animated effects, perceptions, and conclusions,,,even in confusion.
Studies have been done,,,for example, That Prisoners are more calm when the environment is pale pastels,,,IE: Pink, Blue, Green.
Car insurance companies have similar records showing that more RED cars are involved in traffic accidents of citaions for offenses.
My sweet Angel offered up another sense that may be just as valid,,, WEATHER,,and maybe it isn't even the conditions, but the LIGHT, or GRAY of a particular day.
Certainly in a room we spend a majority of time in,,,calming colors work best,,,to not only invite us, but keep us there, with less than a usual stress level. Using Primary's for instance in a babies room, causes more activity, less restfulness, and perhaps waking issues, even when not in THAT room.
COLOR however, in the evolved mind, is only one sensory issue.

Red, orange, and yellow tend to create excitement.
Red cars are involved in the most car accidents because it promotes aggression.
Blue, green, and purple tend to create peace and calm.
My house has chalk blue walls, green carpet, and purple curtains. Everyone comments on how peaceful it makes them feel.

Brighter colours make us feel happier, although red can increase anger.
Subtle tones of green and blue are soothing.

I can't explain it, but the links below can. Here's a sample of what you'll see:
"Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. And even in Western societies, the meanings of various colors have changed over the years. But today in the U.S., researchers have generally found the following to be accurate.
Black
Black is the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission. Priests wear black to signify submission to God. Some fashion experts say a woman wearing black implies submission to men. Black outfits can also be overpowering, or make the wearer seem aloof or evil. Villains, such as Dracula, often wear black.
White
Brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. White reflects light and is considered a summer color. White is popular in decorating and in fashion because it is light, neutral, and goes with everything. However, white shows dirt and is therefore more difficult to keep clean than other colors. Doctors and nurses wear white to imply sterility.
Red
The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations. Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention.
The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.
Blue
The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.
Green
Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. Brides in the Middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. Dark green is masculine, conservative, and implies wealth. However, seamstresses often refuse to use green thread on the eve of a fashion show for fear it will bring bad luck.
Yellow
Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism.
Purple
The color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. It is also feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear artificial.
Brown
Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Light brown implies genuineness while dark brown is similar to wood or leather. Brown can also be sad and wistful. Men are more apt to say brown is one of their favorite colors.
Colors of the Flag
In the U.S. flag, white stands for purity and innocence. Red represents valor and hardiness, while blue signifies justice, perseverance, and vigilance. The stars represent the heavens and all the good that people strive for, while the stripes emulate the sun's rays.
Food for Thought
While blue is one of the most popular colors it is one of the least appetizing. Blue food is rare in nature. Food researchers say that when humans searched for food, they learned to avoid toxic or spoiled objects, which were often blue, black, or purple. When food dyed blue is served to study subjects, they lose appetite.
Green, brown, and red are the most popular food colors. Red is often used in restaurant decorating schemes because it is an appetite stimulant."
