I've been thinking about this and don't know where to start looking, so I guess here is as good as place as any. I've been thinking about how most cultures that live in the southern hemospheres and even in the eastern hemosphers as well use more color in their society than say those of us who live in the western and northern hemospheres. I'm talking about things like painting our houses bright colors, in our art, and other things like that. Does anyone know why? Does it have anything to do with the industrial advancement of those countries?
