Popis: An integrated psychophysiological study was made for investigating the impact of 'red colour' on bodily reaction induced by stress. With regard to the psychophysiological measures, we assayed salivary-secreted substances such as hormones and immune substance as introductory novel biometric. We compared with conventional physiological measures such as Heart Rate (HR), blood pressure and Skin Temperature (ST). As a result, some biomarkers depicted a marked difference between the red and the control conditions: in the red condition, observations showed a steeper elevation during the stressful task and a sparse recovery during the rest. The results suggest the possibility of the substance-based evaluation of the effect of colour on human physiological state.
