Does anyone know of a study where colors of a room affect students?

Or anything sort of person as well?  Thanks!

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. - BF 
Skinner

An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed 
highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but 
with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so 
much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing 
plant and for the soul of the child. - Carl Jung
