click a man and choose a color:

how do the relationships between colors affect perception?
why are some some color combinations differently evocative than others? and can this experience of the relationships among colors be translated across a color space without disturbing the evocative quality of the relationships? inversely, can color be organized such that a mapping between a color combination and an evocative reaction will remain invariant under translation (along perpendicualr axes) in the color space?
