Christine Mohr, Ph.D., and Domicele Jonauskaite, Ph.D. writing for Psychology Today:

“People often link colors and emotions in their languages. For example, “seeing red” means that someone is angry.

Research shows that people across 30 countries found it easy to link colors and emotions, and those links appeared to be universal.

People whose languages were more similar to each other had even more similar associations.”
