What colors represent what emotions?

In: Colors

Colors are always tough to pinpoint an emotion, simply because both are subjective and vary from person to person. Phyical attributes (such as how physically the human eye changes subtly from one person to the next) and life experiences (from the way you grew up and were taught colors to life experiences that you may subconsciously associate colors with).... kinda like how when some gets sick and they drink a lot of Gatorade,... now they unconciously associate Gatorade with being sick... kinda the same thing.
What I may see as pink, because of my astigmatism, you may see as red, which have 2 different meanings.

But with all that aside: I use a great book that helps me be unbiased.
