Color Psychology as Therapy

I searched many articles about color psychology, except several good academic journals are blocked that I can not read. Color psychology always appears with color therapy.

Such as the articles:

<Color Psychology: The Emotional Effects of Colors> available at: http://www.arttherapyblog.com/online/color-psychology-psychologica-effects-of-colors/ 


<Color Psychology> available at: http://library.thinkquest.org/27066/psychology/nlcolorpsych.html (this 
article give a particular explanation of common colors or what are these colors represent for, such as red,
 orange, green, blue, white, black...and the feelings about when people see these colors.)

<Color psychology to empower and inspire you> available at: http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/
( this is a short article try to tell people that it has benefits to use color therapy in life.)

<Color Psychology> available at: http://www.uvsc.edu/disted/decourses/dgm/2740/IN/steinja/lessons/05/l05_08.html

Most part of these articles mentioned characteristics of colors and what kinds of effects to people's emotions.
