Yes I do know how to spell colour

I have in my 2001 diary a list of colours which I wrote down when I saw a site which had carried out research into how people react to background colours on web sites in general.

I've lost the bookmark on an old machine.... but here's what I wrote down.

Blue
soothing, calming, ant-stress, tranquility

Green
fresh, clean, environmental

Purple
sexy

Red
exciting

Black
cool, powerful, techie

White
business like, clean

I am currently trying to figure out which is easiest to read - black text on white, or white text on black.

What do ya think?
