I think that the phrase "psychology of color" is a vague and will mean very different things to different groups of people. People concerned with color vision will interpret it one way while people interested in design, architecture, and environmental effects on people (e.g., do people work better with certain colored walls). A quick search of PsycInfo for the phrase "psychology of Color" turns up only 20 hits and I list them below: Menzen, K. (2002).
