The Colors of Excitement
Warm colors rev us up and get us going. The warmth of red, yellow, or orange can create excitement or even anger. Warm colors convey emotions from simple optimism to strong violence. The neutrals of black and brown also carry warm attributes.
In nature, warm colors represent change as in the changing of the seasons or the eruption of a volcano. Tone down the strong emotions of a warm palette with some soothing cool or neutral colors or by using the lighter side of the warm palette such as pinks, pale yellows, and peach.
Warm colors appear larger than cool colors so red can visually overpower blue even if used in equal amounts. Warm colors appear closer while their cool counterparts visually recede on the page.
The profiles for each of these warm colors include descriptions of their nature, cultural color meanings, how to use each color in design work, and which colors work best together.

I read this fantastic anecdote in a book called He Died With a Falafel In His Hand. These guys had a red party - they put red light globes all through the house so all the light was red, they only served red food like red jelly and beetroot and strawberries, and everyone wore red. They went the whole deal. Red wine, obviously, lots of it. By the end of the night everyone was feeling ill and lots of weird stuff happened. It developed into a very strange orgy and afterwards the people were too embarrassed to see each other again for weeks, and these were ordinary normal people who had been a group of friends for years. They couldn't explain it. It upset their group friendship for a long time.
True anecdote! If you buy the book you can read it for yourself. Weird stuff.

The color red is suppose to make you very hungry. That's why most restaurants have red things in them, as plates, napkins, walls, chairs. So it makes me feel hungry!

It takes whatever emotion I have and intensifies it.
