Environment color: Mostly psychological, possibly physical (bright colors can induce the photic sneeze reflex). Maybe you ran over a cat on your way to the testing site and a bright red room with paper machete kittens hanging from the ceiling doesn’t help. Perhaps the color teal reminds you of something from your past…



I can’t imagine how a paper machete kitten would look, but it sounds like it would be amazing enough to make up for running over a cat.
