Sažetak
We face colours in thousands of shades every day, but we sometimes easily ignore them. If we really want to understand the relationship between “humans and colours”, we must remember that colours have got physical characteristics as well as strong physiological and psychological impact on us. In the present study the investigation was focused on the relationship between basic emotions and colours as perceived by fourth grade pupils, their favourite and unpopular colours, and the emotional stability of pupils with respect to self-esteem and expectations for the future, in terms of colours. We were interested in the existence of differences according to gender, the average annual grades and the relationship between the expression of emotions with colours and emotional stability in terms of colours. We found that most pupils associated positive emotions with warm colours and negative emotions with the cool ones. Among the favourite colour is purple, the most popular for girls, and blue was found to be the most popular for boys. Black is the colour that the pupils did not like. We also found that most pupils think about self-esteem, and their expectations for the future create significant stress for them.
