Colour psychology

Colour psychology is a offshoot of psychology as full subject. Colour psychology looks into how colours affect human behaviour. I looked into this topic to see if it was possible for a game developer to be able to change how something is lit or textured to make it look cuter or meaner by what colour pallet they used. 

The table above shows one of the many different tables/diagrams that show what different colours mean to people. The different tables seem to show different colours meaning different things which have made it hard for me to determine which is right and which is wrong. Using this table I will try and use it for my practical where I will make a room and change the lighting and the sound to see if that changes how the player reacts to it.
