Hi,
I know this has been discussed many time in many ways, but I'm currently working on a project and I'm trying to decide which view to apply...
Based on ordinary physics, red has the lowest energy in the visual spectrum and blue has the highest.
Based on psychology, blue is considered a cool, peaceful colour, while red is considered warm and energizing.
Based on correspondence, red is more likely to be associated with, say, fire, while blue is more likely to be associated with, say, water.
Based on biology and natural daylight, red triggers end of day and serotonin/melatonin conversion for sleep, while blue triggers start of day and an increase in serotonin.
Apart from the various beats I'm using, I wish to have the audiostrobe colour indicative of the anticipated energy level of the session.
My question, given that either way has technical merit, is, "Do you prefer red or blue to represent high energy/high beat frequency?".
If I were designing exclusively for Procyon users, life would be easy - the colours can easily be transposed, but most bicolour devices have fixed mapping.
Cheers,
Craig
