What does lighting affect the perception of colour and its influence on the effect of make up?
Lighting can significantly impact the perception of color, as different types of lighting (natural, fluorescent, incandescent) can alter the way colors appear. This influences how makeup looks on the skin, as certain colors may appear brighter or more muted under different lighting conditions. It's important to consider the type of lighting in which makeup will be worn to achieve the desired effect.

How does the interior design of a space affect human behavior?
When designing any space, we have to take into consideration the purpose of that space and who is likely to be using it. It may sound obvious but there would be little point in putting expensive luxurious furniture and deep plush carpets in a room that is to be used as a child's play room, similarly we wouldn't want to create a busy distracting environment and put our computer in the bedroom if our intention is to get a good night's rest. So apart from the practical considerations what else do we have to take into account when designing the perfect room? * Lighting * Perception of space * Noise * Colour * Smell Much research by environmental psychologists has confirmed that our surroundings can and does have quite a significant effect on the way we feel and how we are likely to respond, so in the case of interior design, it stands to reason that we must take care to avoid anything that is likely to make us feel uncomfortable or distressed and should aim for a harmonious environment that ultimately has a positive effect on our mood. Lighting Take a room used by a counsellor for example. Can the lighting in the room influence whether an individual is likely to relax enough to be able to talk openly? The answer is yes according to the results of one Japanese study conducted by the College of Humanities and Sciences in Nihon University in Tokyo, which found that dim lighting evoked more relaxed feelings, increased the perception of the attractiveness of the counsellor and allowed the individual to open up more than if the room was brightly lit. One area where we can clearly see the effect of lighting is in the food industry. Fast food outlets generally want a rapid turnover of customers so in order to encourage people to eat up quickly the lighting tends to be bright, the seating is practical rather than comfortable and arranged in close proximity to each other, and the colours tend to be bold. If we now compare this to an expensive restaurant where the idea is to create a culinary experience for the customer then we are more likely to find that the space is dimly lit, the tables are lower, the seating is comfortable and arranged in such a way as to be more private which of course encourages the diners to stay a little longer and order yet another bottle of overpriced house wine. Perception of Space Crowded rooms are more likely to have an adverse effect on mood than spacious rooms. Factors that are likely to increase the perception of being closed in or crowded include low ceilings, small windows and lack of natural light, stuffy overheated rooms, rooms that are narrow or rooms where there is too much furniture and other items crammed into the available space. Combined, this will create a stressful environment as opposed to a relaxed and comfortable one. We would also have to take into consideration any barriers to communication too. For example, in the counsellor's room we are more likely to open up if the seating is arranged in such a way that allows clear communication between counsellor and patient than if there is a large intimidating desk between them. However, this may be desirable in a large corporate office if the intent is to create a clear division between management and staff. Noise Noise is also a significant factor and indeed is a type of pollution which can negatively effect how we feel. The constant drone of a computer or other machinery, electrical buzzing from refrigerators or lights, traffic noise in the street outside, workmen nearby and so on, can increase the amount of stress that the occupants feel and would do little to evoke feelings of wellbeing in any room. Colour A great deal of research has been conducted into the effect of colour, too much to go into here. On a very basic level, red is intense and attracts attention; it is also associated with passion. Blue is more relaxing and can evoke feelings of trust and reliability so is often used in business settings. Green is linked with nature and is easy on the eye as opposed to yellow which can strain the eye but at the same time can increase concentration. Paler colours are more likely to enhance the perception of space in a room. The secret is to go for the colour that is perfectly in tune with how it makes you feel in any particular room, you are the final judge. Smell Pleasant aromas can enhance the perceived beauty of a room and at the same time unpleasant smells can spoil an otherwise perfect space. This is something that estate agents well know when it comes to selling a property. The smell of fresh coffee and newly baked bread can make a home feel more inviting whereas strong and pungent food odours do the opposite. You can create a pleasing effect in a room using bowls of pot Pourri, scented flowers and candles.__________________________________________-- http://www.designpsych.com/design_elements.htm
What influences perception of color?
How do we perceive colour? The first major theory of how we perceive colour, after Newton's discovery of the spectrum of colours making up white light, was put forward by Young (1802) and later Helmholtz (1867), who proposed that we have a trichromatic mechanism of colour vision. They proposed that every colour can be realised by a combination of three primary colours: Red, blue and green (RBG). Trichromacy is based on the property of colour to be able to be mixed. Mixing light is additive, when lights are mixed, new colours are produced, for example mixing green and red light produced a yellow light. Wald and Brown (1965) later supported this theory with the identification of three types of photopigments in retinal cones. The different photopigments' relative absorption rates of photons of light, favoured wavelengths corresponding to those needed to perceive the three colours, short (S), Medium (M) and Long (L). At long wavelengths, we typically perceive a red colour, medium wavelengths give a more green colour and at short wavelengths, blue. The opposing theory for over a century, was that proposed by Hering, (1878) focused on the complementary nature of certain colour combinations. He also identified yellow as a fourth primary colour alongside RBG. Whereas Helmholtz and colleagues focused on the input of sensory information, having an impact on how we perceive colour (bottom-up approach), the tetrachromatic view was that colour perception is a top down approach, where brain areas, such as the visual cortex and the basal ganglia, interact with the sensory information to inform perception. The existence of a trichromatic system, rather than a dichromatic system with cones just absorbing M and L wavelengths, or a monochromatic system with a single receptor, is a fairly new addition in evolutionary terms. Many animals see with dichromatic or monochromatic vision, which gives them a shorter spectrum of wavelengths, and the ability to see fewer colours, or in the case of monochromatic vision, only grey-scale. This is explained by the chemical properties of rod, which are more sensitive in dark environments. At high light intensities, rods are deactivated through the isomeration of rhodopsin, this results in the chemical splitting of the rhodopsin molecule, leading to the reduction of the inhibitory neurotransmitter glutamate at the synapses of rods and cones and in turn, increases the firing rate of amacrine cells. Therefore, in dim light, more rod cells are active, making it easier to see in dim light, in the transition between bright light and dark, there is a shift towards equilibrium to increase the amount of active rhodopsin. In a dichromatic system, colours are perceived due to the ratio of M and L wavelengths; S wavelengths, were a later addition following a mutation in cone cells, the fovea does not contain any S cells, with little impact on colour vision, suggesting that M and L cells are more important. For example, cone activations to red involve a higher absorption rate of L wavelengths than M wavelengths, whereas cone activations to green are the reverse, lower absorption of L than M wavelengths. Combined, these two absorptions equal the same as the single absorption rate in both L and M wavelengths which corresponds to seeing a yellow colour. This explains the additive property of green and red to produce yellow. However, in a dichromatic system, it is difficult then, to establish whether the same output (seeing a yellow light) is achieved due to adding the wavelengths of red and green light or a single wavelength combination to produce pure yellow light. This problem can be resolved when we add in S cone cells to provide a wider absorption spectrum. In an attempt to provide a model for the neural basis of colour perception, Yoder (2003), outlined a Relative Absorption Model (RAM). This model proposed that photoreceptors absorb S, M and L wavelengths in a certain ratio to create colours. Both excitatory and inhibitory inputs are received from the three classes of wavelength. In the second stage, the combination of inputs correlate with each of the colour cells, red, green, blue and yellow, and these identify which receptor type has the greatest absorption of photons and which has the least. Their response intensities correspond to the differences between those absorptions and the middle absorption. The trichromacy of colour has been established at the sensory level, however it is unable to account for complementary colours, and this is illustrated by after effects of colour. For instance, when we stare at a plain yellow square on a blue background for around 30 seconds, and then immediately look at the same yellow square on a white background, the second yellow square seems to display a blue tint. In addition, one can imagine a greenish-yellow, or a bluish-red but not a greenish-red. The perception of colour is a result of our brains ability to differentiate between the wavelengths of light that enters our eyes. when light hits an object changes are caused in the wave length of the light that bounces of it, our brain decodes this into colours.
What does the colour white mean?
The colour white is called a Tint. White is commonly used to lighten another colour, which is also called tinting. The colour black is called a Shade, which is the opposite of a tint. Black is added to another colour to create a darker shade.
Does colour affect memory?
Research suggests that color can impact memory and cognition. For instance, using distinct colors to highlight important information can improve memory retention. Additionally, colors like red can enhance attention and have been associated with better memory performance in some studies.
What is the fear of the colour red called?
The fear of the color red is known as erythrophobia.
How does the quality of light affect the perception of colour?
A better quality of light shows colors at their best, while poorer lighting makes colors harder to perceive. The four best lightings for color are natural, incandescent, ultraviolet and halogen.
Why is color important in the world?
Color is important in the world because it can affect our emotions, behavior, and perception. It can convey messages, evoke certain feelings, and influence our decisions. Additionally, color plays a significant role in art, design, branding, and marketing.
Does the colour of the cream cheese affect peoples perception of taste?
I myself believe that any number of psycological events can change the perception of taste. I know that if I eat something that I even think may have gone bad I will tend not to like it even if it is not. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
What factors may influence the grey balance and colour in the final result?

How can color affect a film?
The director and the director of photography use colour in film to express emotion: watching a film is intended to be an emotional bath. Colour is achieved through lighting, lenses, colour cels and so forth. Together with sound effects and music, these sensory engagements are intended to be subtle, and they can be jarring when they are inappropriate or do not work as intended.
Does lighting effect the health of you tropical fish?
Proper lighting gives proper colour to your fish. However the lighting should blend with the surroundings. The lighting should not be too dim as the fish start to become shy and lose colour. It is a common observance that fishes exposed to sunlight are more colourful than the ones you keep in dim light.
What is the least effective way of dimming tungsten lighting for colour photography?
Rheostat. Dimming by rheostat changes the colour temperature of the light
Which diamond shapes contain or help in preserving the color of a diamond and why?
Diamond colour is truly a perception -- although a measurable one. Natural diamond colours don't change, but the 'glory' of the natural colour can be affected by the gemstone's cut. Reflection and refraction are the keys to the perception of diamond colour, and if the cut is not of the best proportion, symmetry and polish, the gem's best colour cannot be perceived.
What is an anomaloscope?
An anomaloscope is a medical instrument used to check for colourblindness by measuring anomalies in colour perception.
