Colour Chat

Presenter: Tonight on Kaleidoscope we're very happy to have Rosie Brown back with us in the studio. You're going to be talking to us about how to put a little colour in our lives.

Rosie: Yes, Derek, and you look as if you could do with some, you're rather pale aren't you?

Presenter: Well I'm cooped up in the studio all day - anyway let's hear the first guest's question.

Guest 1: Er, yes yes, I would like to know if the colour of your clothes has any effect on the way you feel.

Presenter: Well, Rosie's wearing blue tonight, any reason for that Rosie?

Rosie: Actually Derek there is. Blue helps you calm down in nervous situations, like erm radio interviews, and also makes your brain more alert. Can I just ask what colour do the guest prefer wearing?

Guest 1: Yes, I wear a lot of red, which is actually what I'm wearing now.

Rosie: Red's a good colour if you want to help your blood circulate, it also stimulates physical activity but is not much use if you need to focus your concentration on something particular.

Presenter: OK. Let's move on to guest two. Can we have your question.

please?

Guest 2: Em, I've got two young children and I'm getting rather worried about all those dyes and additives in their food.

Rosie: There's quite a lot of controversy around food dyes. Some doctors I know say they can be the cause of all kinds of things -hyperactivity, asthma, headaches, even eczema. My advice would be to avoid them, at least the artificial ones. But of course there are natural food dyes, and if you're a cook, you may know that the Mexicans used to dye some of their foods with tints obtained from the dried bodies of insects.

Presenter: Oh yuck! Sounds revolting. Anyway we've got another guest.

Guest 3: I'm going to be opening a clothes shop quite soon and I wondered if Rosie could recommend any colours.

Rosie: Well, I'm not sure I could recommend any particular colour, I think that's such a personal thing, but what I can do is to tell you what to avoid and that's yellow.

Presenter: Yellow?

Rosie: Yes, studies have shown that yellow actually makes people want to steal things.

Presenter: Is that so?

Rosie: But yellow's fine if you've got a restaurant, because it encourages people to eat up fast and go. Colour's a funny thing. There was a period when American football clubs used to paint their guest changing room pink, as this was supposed to make the opposition become super-relaxed and so rather lethargic on the field.

Presenter: Interesting. Right. We've got time for one more question.

Guest 4: Why is that at the traffic lights I can always see the green better than the red?

Rosie: This is an interesting question which brings up a whole host of issues connected with safety. Red has always been associated with danger and thus probably seemed a good choice as a stop at traffic lights and the same reasoning was presumably applied to the rear lights of cars. But scientists have proved that a much more effective colour would be green for the rear lights, especially as red gives the driver behind the impression of being much further away than they really are. Fire engines too would be much better off if they were painted yellow rather than red. But to go back to the caller's question and without wanting to go too far into the technicalities..
