Investigating the Effect of Cold, Neutral and Warm Colors on the Heart Rate and Blood Pressure

چکیده مقاله

This paper is an attempt to investigate the effect of the three sets of colors of blue (a cold color), white (a neutral color) and red (a warm color) on the heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP). Many studies have shown that colors, that are of cold, neutral and warm sets, will have an effect on the heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) of the individual. It has been claimed that cold colors are relaxing and lower the HR and BP, while the neutral colors have no effect and the warm colors rise the HR and BP. 

In order to find the accuracy of this claim, after receiving the informed consents, the researchers proceeded to conduct their investigation by exposing the colors, blue, white and red separately for three minutes to each of the 25 participants between 12-13 years old, and recorded the HR and BP, before and after each exposure, that had 15 minutes of resting between each color exposed until the next one. The mean ± SD (standard deviation), of each quantitative recorded variable were calculated. Then, the paired T-test was conducted to compare the HR and BP means before and after the exposure. P-value < 0.05 is the significant level for showing the statistical difference.
