There are no least popular colors in my country. I think it is a personal/individual preference and people have their choice or taste when it comes to colors they like or dislike.

However, it cannot be generalized for the entire nation.

There may be colors that become more or less popular every year, but that is only in terms of the fashion trends.

So, colors which are not much seen or used in the fashion industry today, may become more popular in the future.

In (your city), buildings are mostly painted in lighter shades of whites, browns, and other such colors. Some buldings are made of brick and are red in color.

The buildings that make use of stone are the color of the stone.

However, these days, we can find buildings in different colors, some are light and some bright in color.

Some colors make us feel happy, like green, orange, and other such bright colors, especially when we see flowers in such colors.

Some colors may make us feel dull, like greys. When there are too many days without sunshine, the days are usually dull and grey and make us also feel low on energy.

It has been researched that the color of the uniform helps in bringing the customers back.

9. How differently do men and women look at the same colour?

I recently read about the research that men and women describe the same color differently.

Women are better at recognising and distinguishing colors, while men may not be that accurate about the colors they see.

Not necessarily. However, business people should avoid bright colored clothes, especially during meetings and presentations, as they may become a distraction.

I think it is a very personal decision and people chose colors for decorating their houses according to their choice and taste.

It may also depend on government regulations in that area.
