Researchers can guess where you're from by how colors make you feel

Whether you see red, feel blue, or go green with envy may depend on what country you call home, a new study suggests. And when given data on how a person associated colors with emotions, researchers could correctly predict where they were from 80% of the time. The scientists surveyed 711 people from China, Germany, Greece, and the United Kingdom. Volunteers read the word for 12 colors, such as "green" and "turquoise." They then indicated which of 20 emotions the colors brought to mind, and how strongly the color was tied to the feeling.
