The Use of Color in Psychology and Symbolism

The use of color can have a powerful impact on our attention and reactions. Red, for example, grabs our attention because it is associated with blood, which triggers an instinctive response in animals like chickens. Yellow is also effective at catching our eye, which is why buses are painted yellow. These reactions happen on an unconscious level, and it's fascinating to think about how we are influenced by our biological instincts. Additionally, we discuss the collective consciousness associated with symbols like the swastika. We cannot separate it from its Nazi connotations, but in other cultures, its meaning may be different. Lastly, we promote the podcast 'American Hysteria,' which explores the fantastical thinking in American culture and delves into urban legends, conspiracy theories, and more.
