ARE COLORS USED AS DESCRIPTIONS A FORM OF SUBCONCIOUS BIAS ?


[+] ballot by thesoothsayer
created Sun Jan 07, 07

Why are colors used in descriptions when there are many more words that can be used that are probably more appropriate...does color associations lead to negative/positive connotations in other areas of the human experience ?

Yes, color descriptions are biased
No, color descriptions are "concise"
I dunno, never thought about it

So, is the woman pictured thought to be "sad" because of her blue hair? Interesting thought.

^ she isn't sad, she just wants a milkshake ;)

Voted : Yes, color descriptions are biased
ladyshana, should I ask exactly what *kind* of milkshake? Or did I cross into that whole weird area on my own?

Blue is associated with being sad or depressed..(the blues)...green is associated with envy/jealousy...
