Hypothesis: I set out to explore the idea that different colors evoke distinct emotions and that these emotional responses vary depending on cultural backgrounds. I aimed to understand how subjective the interpretation of colors can be and whether certain colors are universally associated with specific emotions or if these associations differ across cultures.

Experiment: To test this hypothesis, I conducted an experiment involving participants from two cultural backgrounds: India and Japan. The participants were shown a series of color combinations, including blue and green, and were asked to describe the emotions these colors evoked in them.

Results: The results revealed significant cultural differences in color perception. Many Indian participants associated the blue color combination with feelings of sadness, while Japanese participants described it as evoking icky emotions. Conversely, the green color combination had opposite effects; Indian participants generally had a positive reaction, while Japanese participants had a more negative response. These findings highlight the subjective nature of color perception and how it can vary widely across different cultural contexts.
