Seeing RED could be good

Psychologists have long debated the effect of colour on performance.But the impact may depend on the nature of the task,with the red the most effective at enhancing attention to detail and the blue the best at boosting creativity.

Red makes us more vigilant as it is associated with danger and caution and blue encourages us to think out of the box as it represents peace and openess, says a new Canadian study.

The upshot:need to concentrate on the finer points?Find a red room or use a red background on your computer.Want to brainstorm?That's when you could choose a blue background.
