Your Topic: Feeling in Colour: The Hidden Psychology of Human Emotion Why is anger red? Why do we feel blue? And why can a colour somehow seem happy, calm, or passionate, even though colour itself has no emotion at all? In Why Do Feelings Have Colours?, experimental psychologist Dr Nathan Jones takes us inside the strange and surprisingly systematic relationship between colour and human emotion. Prepare for a deep dive into the world of colour, music, and even emojis – and get ready to walk away with a new language for understanding the way humans feel.
