I agree and, apparently, we're not alone... <excerpt> The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love [comment: sure we like Mozilla but *Love* ?]. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier [comment: not good ... plays into BLUI connotation]. Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations [comment: I've noticed that even here on these threads :-)]. Red cars are popular targets for thieves [comment: Whoa Boy!]. In decorating, red is usually used as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract attention [comment: "Mozilla - a couch replacement for your desktop"]. </excerpt> <link url="http://www.infoplease.com/spot/colors1.html"; title="Psychology of Color"/> -- Netscape FAQs: http://www.ufaq.org Netscape 6/7 Tips: http://www.hmetzger.de/net6e.html Netscape 6 FAQ: http://home.adelphia.net/~sremick/ns6faq.html Netscape 7 Help/Tips: http://techaholic.net/ns7.html Web page validation: http://validator.w3.org About Mozilla: http://www.mozilla.org
