An article on why Cambridge Blue (R 163, G 193, B 173) is FACTUALLY AND SCIENTIFICALLY BETTER than Oxford Blue (R 0, G 33, B 71).
It has been widely known among the academic and intellectual community that various shades of colour are objectively more pleasing to the eye and phyc (KAYA, Epps). Studies have shown that green tones (such as cambridge blue) are associated with good taste (Aslam, M.M (2006)) While blue (and deep blue tones such as Oxford Blue) is often associated with depression and sadness (KAYA, Epps). These preliminary findings already show that Oxford blue is far better on a person's mental state.
Research by Dr Kaya and Dr Epps focused heavily on the emotions elicited by various colours and combinations of colours. They used a 44% male and 56% female group of university students with full colour vision, the colours were shown on a neutral grey background and each participant was asked about their emotional response to the colour shown with questions adapted from Boyatzis and Varghese (1994) and Hemphill (1996). The color green (unsurprisingly) attained the highest number of positive responses (95.9%). The majority of emotional responses for the green color indicated the feelings of relaxation and calmness, followed by happiness, comfort, peace, hope, and excitement. Green was associated with nature and trees, and thus creating feelings of comfort and soothing emotions. Green also did not gain any negative emotional responses (unlike blue which was associated with depression, loneliness and sadness). Now green's association with nature and springtime elicits positive emotions as confirmed by Nisbet (2011) means that looking at it has a positive effect on the mind. Blue on the other hand is associated with sadness (“feeling blue”) and depression, it is associated with night and the rain (while both may be calming, both have a large element and cultural association with sadness)

why is acolor better when it creates positive feelings?
if you wanna draw a sad painting why would you use positive colors?
that statement is just wrong
>>
>university students
>each participant was asked about their emotional response
>to a color
This is just a bunch of dumb college kids with nothing to say about a color beyond the most basic, stupid association they've made with it
'Uhh blue is a sad color because uhhh oh this one isn't as blue so I guess it's not sad'
Any study which uses students as it's participants is generally just a bunch of bullshit thrown together by some asshole at a school with nothing better to do
