For most colours, the positive aspect prevails and that comes basically from the
amount of brightness yet the latter fades away with time and leaves room for the
negative aspects to emerge and become dominants. Another reason as to why its

human mind has bias towards the positive aspect of colours, this bias could switch
camps as a result of a dull routine or the wearing of the same uniform.
