Physiological Color Cont.


Yellow- Yellow acts as warning, widely accepted as a cautionary color. In the image above, previously shown for red's ability to create tension and demand immediate action, we will now examine the second prevalent color in this image, yellow (The presence of it is indicated by the lowest white arrow). While in the game red is acting as a dire indication of one character's proximity to peril, the second health/life circle is yellow, indicating that another character's health is near the red/dying zone as well, serving as a warning that the end is nigh. Yellow can make one anxious and undo a person's state of calm. When this color appears on the screen, the player tends to stop taking risks or rather seeks shelter at the color's cautionary note. Yellow is a warning that serves as a median to calm and restlessness.
