Hello.

I have a crazy idea that might work. I was wondering if looking at certain colors can have a recall boost.

It has been known that certain colors make you do things. Yellow and red are supposed to make you hungry. Pink very relaxed. So there might me a color that makes you remember things. Or think of things.

If there is a color that makes you recall easier, you could look at it when you wake up or look at a picture that is monochromatic of the color.

The experiment would be 2 weeks long.
First off we'd need to look one of the following colors each day.

-Pink
-Red
-Orange
-Yellow
-Green
-Light Blue
-Dark Blue
-Violet

Then we'd try the best 3 colors that worked for us 2 more times, to see if it works again.

To make sure placebo isn't what causes the better recall, we won't post any results until the 2 weeks are up.
Hopefull we can find that certain colors might help people recall easier.

The date I'm hoping to start this experiment is Colored light experiment[/b]

Red generally makes us alert and aware. It's an alarming color; That's why our Blood is Red.

However @ your Color Technique for recall. It's got my interrest since Recall and Clearity is something I would like to increase as well. How about trying to find Small Colored Lights of a couple of Colors. Bright enough to penetrate the Color through your Closed eyelids so you can actually see it while you're sleeping. Yet not so bright that it illumiates your entire room and keps you from sleep. And see if it is possible to Incubate a Certain Color into your Dreams that way. Maybe if some color, such as Red, manages to have it's effect on you while you're asleep this way, it may serve to increase awareness and alertness: Something Desirable for Lucid Dreaming.

Perhaps some of you Own an Atmospheric Red Light? Try sleeping with the light on next to your bed to see if it increases alertness and awareness. This would be my experiment. I think I'll fabricate my own Red Light Lamp by simply placing a Lightbulb into a Glass tube Painted Transparently Red. I think I could add mirror-tiles to it to direct the light into a large projection of Red light on the spot where I lie with my Head while sleeping.

Now since this Topic is about the Mental Effect of Colors anyways I'm not going to give this Experiment one of it's own. Anyone in with the Colored Light Experiment? It's gotta be a colored light that's bright enough so that when you sleep next to it and close your eyes, you still obviously see the Color, instead of just ''the blackness''. Also try meditating, sitting with the lamp on in your room for about 20 minutes with your eyes open and see if it has changed or affected your Mood or awareness in any way.If you've got a lamp up for that Job, or make one yourself as I prescribed above, and you're in for this Colored-Light Experriment, let me know. Also post what Color Lamp you'll be using.
