Next, they were presented with 8 emotional facial expressions, each presented in 11 colors and were asked to select the most appropriate answer. Finally, they were presented with 11 color card boards(same colors as task 2)and were asked to rate how they feel about the represented color. Yellow was associated with happiness and blue with sadness(P<0.05).Children associated black with all the negative facial emotions(P<0.05).57.5% of the children associated white with unhappy, although white was a preferred color for bedroom for all the subjects(P<0.01).
