Why Do People Prefer Some Colors Over Others?

Colors can feel like magic. Some make you happy, others calm you down. People prefer certain colors because they remind them of things in their lives, like blue makes people think of the sky or the ocean. Red might make someone feel excited or even a little nervous. Each color has its own special message to our brain.
