reasons of choose yellow during corridor empty

Why I choose yellow during the time nobady come into corridor or nobady come cross yet? This is the reasons made me decide use yellow.

From the character of yellow is suit for being the pre-colour of the corridor. Because yellows and yellow-green these colors are radiant and cozy (Tonya, L). Because warm colors seem to advance, they make small rooms appear smaller and large rooms more intimate. And yellow is relatively long and essentially stimulating. In this case the stimulus is emotional, therefore yellow is the strongest colour, psychologically. The right yellow will lift our spirits and our self-esteem; it is the colour of confidence and optimism. Too much of it, or the wrong tone in relation to the other tones in a colour scheme, can cause self-esteem to plummet, giving rise to fear and anxiety. (Colour affects) It is also like Goethe (1809) said, yellow has softly exciting character. But, if we use it correct, then we can get the expect affects. In “Colour emotion in full-scale rooms” said from experiments, they found that yellow and pink caused pleasure and even more joy. But not pure yellow are neutral. Like 11said in blog: “Used on home interiors, pale shades of yellow are best when painting walls.” This is the reason that I choose yellow to be the empty corridor background. I expect base on colour affects of yellow, people will not have too strong feeling such as warm or cold. They are just normal to cross the corridor but have some attention. Yellow is suit to be the in this environment.
